RE: Do U do Dirt?
I have a Honda CR250R I "Do Dirt" with. I race hare scramblesand enduros with it along with my kids.
Call me what you'd like, but it takes too long to clean the harley after going off pavement. So as the saying goes "I stop when the pavement stops".

RE: Do U do Dirt?
I don't mind a dirt stretch, just don't like unexpectedly coming across dirt on top of pavement. I notice quite a few on the forum that don't ride in the rain, let-alone on dirt. That's ok, I like optimal conditions too, just don't like staying home all the time.

Dirt bikesand dirt riding was probably about 90-95% of my ridingfrom 1969 until last November when I bought my first HD (The HD is my first real street bike, actually). The remaining %of my riding would be around town or down a county road on my way to the next trail. That would be the 30+ dirt bikes and over 100,000 dirt miles. Love it. Haven't indulged as often the past couple years as I have in the past... but still love it.
I have no desire whatsoever to take my Deuce out on dirt or dirtroads. None. I know all too well what dirt riding does to a bike, and I want to avoid that like the plague in regards to the Deuce.

Dirts nothing, grew up riding dirt bikes on tracks and sand dunes and have had the softail out on the dirt roads at Camp Pendleton plenty to get to training areas. Plenty of crappy terrain, gravel and dirt on those roads and especially potholes the size of you.
