Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a 4X4 ATV but to be honest, the trucking and looking for places to ride are becoming a challenge everywhere. That's why our bike and all DS bikes are the perfect combination. If you can drive on it with you're car then its a go with the bikes. Too bad people are getting all up in arms about off road recreation, but then its usually the same people that are driving around the Ford Excursion at 9 mpg. Albert Gore didn't mention that in his movie, which by the way was a great film if you ever get a chance to watch it. It all sounds exactly right, however he left one factor out of the equation, and that's the fact that mankind was never supposed to regulate and rule themselves. "it's not up to man who is walking even to direct his own steps"
