So turns out next upgrade for the bike is going to be some not road tires, whoda thunk riding on silt and mud with 80/20s was a terrible idea. All in all just some plastic pieces broke which I can model and 3d print to fix. At least now I can say I have adventured.

I thought motos sleep standing up like elephants? TIL i guess.

As for that road I'm not sure i'd have traction on that even on my downhill mountain bike. That looks squidgy.

    Yeah, I think the 80/20 tires would have been fine if the trail was dry, but I’m definitely looking at more aggressive off-road tires next. The trail was basically wet clay. On the plus side that meant no damage to the bike when it took a few dirt naps lol

    That sort of wet clay is shit on any sort of tires though. Like even aggressive soft hard Enduro tires, the minute that stuff clumps and sticks into the treads, your tires are gonna suck. That stuff is awful shit to ride in.
