I ride mine through lots of mud and dirt. I like to ride it up to my barn so the horses can get used to to the sweet sound of their sister that doesn't eat near as much as them.

If I had to ride on dirt/gravel it would'nt bother me.I have many years of trail riding and Hare Scrambles racing experience.

Ya My Horses love the sound of my ride, When they hear me ride up they think they are going to get fed

Oh, am I supposed to feed them? I thought they got all of their nutritional needs met by eating my fences.

I rode dirtbikes until about a two years ago. I quit 'cuz I was tired of getting hurt (No-Fear syndrome). As for riding streetbikes on the dirt, I wouldn't say I enjoy it, but I don't completely avoid it either. As a matter of fact, when I go to NC for vacation, the cabin we stay in is about a mile up the mountain with a steep, loose-gravel/dirt roadway. I ride it because I have to but I use a lot of caution.

Have too! One mile to blacktop. Mostly gravel. No problems, but had a piece of gravel go through the drive belt a few years ago. Cost a lot to have it changed!
