Believe it or not I managed to ride this up and down once when I did some work on it and looked after it for awhile for my mate Mick. I suppose I s a tractor of sorts and they go anywhere! :smilie_happy: :moped:

I'm really surprised you're not riding an adventure bike. Most that have them around here wouldn't see the terrain you cross on your driveway.

I think a lot of people buy the adventure bikes because of the riding position which I find comfortable. I prefer a sports/ tourer for the majority of my riding but it s an old Honda that does have a more upright position ( crotch in line with foot pegs) and a steel frame. The only thing I struggle with is my tires as I feel guilty about using them on the driveway so I use a harder compound Metzler RoadTeks which are excellent. I am trying to upload some more videos of the other riding I do around here. https://youtu.be/_zMflwg6-As

I will try and post a video of the ride up the driveway. So far I keep running out of video or battery on the camera by the time I get home to ride the driveway. I have ordered some bigger capacity batteries for the GoPro and still getting used to all the settings. 16g card at 720hd and 50 fps is just over 2hrs of recording and with the wifi running for the remote the battery lasted less than 2hrs. I took some photos to try and show how steep it actually is as it doesn't look that steep on the way down in the video.

I want to get one going up in the dark so that you can see the lights in operation, so far every time I haven't had the camera or it wasn't dark enough

That's quite a ride, Tony - and you haven't even started the real ride yet!
