I met a bloke last week that was talking about this. He went on it last year said he had a ball, but could hardly walk at the end of it.
Sounds like it would be great to do with a few of the boys. |

If you are going to do it ,the only comfortable riding position is standing up , it'd be a good way to see a bit of country , they don't go fast enough to miss anything
I challenge my postie bike everyday , layed it into a corner the other day , the peg dug into the dirt and pivoted a full 180 degrees ,didn't lose a letter , |

98km nice, one of the fastest I've heard of , you must have had your head down and legs out superman style, best I got was about 85- 90 clicks screaming downhill with stock gearing [75kg wringing wet]
currently geared down it pulls about 65 -70 flat , makes it easier to pull the front wheel up over driveway ruts
most reliable engine I have seen , as long as there is [clean] oil on the dipstick , they run forever ! |

Exactly , "enjoy your job and you'll never work another day in your life"
it's good to see a few fellow posties around these threads and more importantly into quads  |
