That's crazy!

WTH would you do if someone came from the other way?
The trail looked a little loose as well.

Looks more like a foot path that some crazy people rode their motors on...probably a notice posted at the beginning of the trail that reads "No bicycles, motorcycles, 4-wheelers or any other motorized vehicles allowed on these trails."

Any idea where that is?

I've been on trails in Gorman CA. that had some sections like that, but not for that long.

Currently, that trail is several steps above my skill level....

They stop and talk to each other at some point. Swiss, German or Swedish is my guess--I couldn't hear it well enough to make a better guess.

I've done some crazy things in my life and I've done some stupid things in my life. I don't think I could do that except under the most dire of circumstances. I could WALK it no problem, though.

I've ridden a horse on trails like that.

A horse has it's own sense of self preservation, a motorcycle doesn't.

In our little corner of paradise, we call that a road...... a narrow one. Did you all catch the electric start, auto transmission "dirt bike", and how about the "road " changing width when the first rider looked back at his buddy. Perspective and perseption.


PS. it was all done with mirrors.... LOL
