How rough is that terrain! I'd be forever backtracking to pick up the pieces that have rattled off my trike! I see that doesnt pose a threat to your trike Bill. _________________

Well i have done it all on 3 wheeler, we trailered the machines to PA ( next state down from NY ) and hit the roads, yes i mean the roads cars travel on, in PA ATV's can get away with that and so many miles were racked up riding....man that was an adrenalin rush !
Funny addition to this road ride story we pulled in to a local bar at 2am grabbed a beer and watched a bar room brawl involving two local girls...LOL...thats something i will never forget
Specal thanks to my incredible hosts Bill, Chris & Jeff in New York, these guys made my trip one of the best i have ever had to the US, NY "Spiedie's " ROCK !
Im currently out in California with my buddy Frank, weather here in CA is a lot cooler than back east, sadly my trip is almost over so home by Saturday.

lol...that's called "killer hill" not because it's steep but because of the rocks and ruts will destroy most vehicles. I've destroyed lots of ATC skid plates, tires, brake rotors, suspension links, and wheels on this hill over the years. it's never the same as rain and the spring thaw run off constantly change it. this is actually mild compared to last year. Those loose rocks have filled in last years rut that was aprox. 18-24" deep
here is a pic of it from a distance
you can't see the bottom as it is hidden by the trees.
and a zoomed in close up
the section you see on film is coming from just below the tree line to just above it.
here is the "line"
