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 Cool , 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 Evil or Very Mad , 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 laughing,

eek laughing 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 Sad [75kg wringing wet] laughing
currently geared down it pulls about 65 -70 flat , makes it easier to pull the front wheel up over driveway ruts Wink
most reliable engine I have seen , as long as there is [clean] oil on the dipstick , they run forever !
