This is no big deal to most of you out there, but I am relativly new to riding. Been doing it only since Sept. 04. My Speedy constantly amazes me at what it can do. I needed to visit an engineer friend of mine who live so far out in the sticks that he generates his own electricity with a hydro-generator that he designed and built. About 15 miles was paved two lane forest road, but his driveway is about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile narrow dirt road. This road has bar ditches and very steep. The last 100 yards is a 100% slope. I thought I would ride in a little ways, park the bike, and walk the rest of the way. We regularly hike this driveway in winter because of the snow and ice. The Speedy just kept going all of the way. No problems at all and coming out was the same. Dam* these bikes are great. After this meeting I had to go up to another place to inspect work being done, it's 80 miles round trip on twisty two lane roads. What a great day. Dave
