Cool stuff! Especially, your buddy on the Lightning. Tell him I said, "way to go!" In 2007, my buddy and I rode in your neck of the woods -- did the Olympic Penninsula one weekend as part of a two week trip. All the other time was spent riding the areas all around Mt. Rainier Nat'l Park, including five trips up to Suntop Lookout. All told, we did about 2500 miles with about 150-200 of it on dirt and gravel roads. It was great fun!
The Lightning has Blast Handle bars for ergonomics, the race ecm and pipe and a custom seat... The suspension on the City X is not that much lower than the Uly and it has the shorter wheel base so it doesn't bottom out as much as you might think...
Hey, I'm curious to know how the Lightning handles in the dirt/mud. It looks like you were doing all right. Does it bottom out a lot with the Lightnings lower travel? Any mods on that bike?
This was filmed in north west Washington State, My friend the one being filmed was still new to the Buell Lightning setup for the dirt so we were going slow... Oh and the Song is Prodigy, Full Throttle.
no way my bolt could do that =(
