Can't really call it off roading, cause it IS a road, although dirt.  Went to one of the local county lakes to scout for fishing, and for a shake down ride on something other than asphalt.  Was as much for me as it was for the bike, to see if we both hold up, lol.

I decided I need to wear my. Newly acquired back brace, or its gonna hurt too much to make it a fun experience.

I have my fishing rod holder on the back, but need to make a short video of it.  I had my 4 piece rod in it and all seemed to go well, so that was good.  Sunday was my first time fishing local in about 10 yrs, so it is taking some getting used to again.  Sundays trip was with my 2 sons, my daughter and granddaughter.  One some put us all on a 31 ft charter out of Morro Bay, CA.  We limited out on rockfish, and each came home with a one gallon zip lock bag FULL of filets.  Memorial day dinner was a fish fry.

This was a special occasion, since it was my Christmas present from this past Christmas.

Here is the bike shots.  That is just a small sliver of the lake accessible by vehicle.  Boats are required to get to most of it.

Will try to post some more pics.  For some reason I click post, and the page reloads to a blank white page.  Hitting refresh only give me an error message.  Very frustrating.

Ok it seems I was not selecting the actual size of the pic to be posted.  Hopefully that is the issue.

Looks like I may need to make a rod carrier for the right side, for my fly rod.

Mine scoots along dirt roads without a problem. In fact, the limiting factor is probably the old nut holding the handlebars.
