Absolutely.

I grew up riding in the dirt.
And I miss it.

My Gran Canyon is too big of a beast.


The GC is definitely on the big (and heavy) side for real dirt riding.  It gets me back and forth to work, down 5 miles of gravel, then 27 miles of twisty 2-lane highway.  It does the gravel passably well, but it's a lot more fun on the winding asphalt.  I can also putter around the primitive roads on the acreage... but only putter.  It's way too fat to go blasting around offroad with any kind of speed.  Need something much lighter to really have fun around the land here.

Anyway... really enjoying this thread.  It's rare that I see something new and Italian before you guys, but just browsing this thread is quite enjoyable.  Keep it up! waytogo  There are some excellent works of Italian mechanical art around...

Beautiful ride. I love the look of the Boomtubes but I can't justify the price.  Huh?

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
