Bahahaha. Didn’t know you were on the site! There’s a reason it looks just like it! Because it is! I’m in Monroeville so you know who I am. Pud has mine right now so gg could use it at the beach this weekend. He’s gonna swap the brakes to hydraulic for me. I resemble that remark!

Sorry, learned my lesson on deer hunting on my bike. Pedaled up the mountain one morning , got to the top and as I un latched my rifle from the handle bars a young buck stepped out on the trail and stared at me. I loaded and fired quickly and he went down. I walked the bike up to him (85 pounds), laid it down and lined him up with the frame. Tied his front hooves to the handlebars and his neck to the center fork over the front tire and straddled him on the center bar in front of the seat. Stood it up and fastened my gun and got on!Easing down hill was easy, got some funny looks from a couple of guys going uphill. Nice I wasn’t getting bloody, there wasn’t any blood. I noticed there as a big notch out of one of his antlers.......suddenly......he shivered and began to jerk his head up, but I had him tied pretty good! I was doing pretty good , until, he got his back hooves on the pedals......I lost all control as we tumbled down the mountain trail and crashed in the parking lot in front of a group of hunters. He had no problem freeing himself at that point and vanishing in the brush. Bike was ruined, I’ve hauled a gobbler, being sure he was completely dead, but never again a deer! Man I'd like to have that sorry bout your loss tho that'd made me sick

I picked up a cheap bike this summer for a couple of 1000yard fields I walk across but it's accessible by truck if I kill one

I think if they are under 750W they are considered non motorized vechicles. At least on federal land. I would assume the same applies at state WMA’s but not sure. I would really like to find a confirmation on this

The WMA regs on the back of the maps say no motorized vehicles. So if 750 and down isn’t characterized as motorized then sounds ok. But unlike more than a few other states, Alabama doesn’t have a specification of what non-motorized is. So when a person is on federal land that’s in the confines of a state administrered WMA it would seem to me the state rules are deferred to. At the very least there is not clear direction

Regarding the mud, it helps if you are a little taller. Some of our "vertically challenged" individuals have a harder time reaching the ground. I’m vertically challenged as well, haha. I had a shock absorbing fork on to begin with but swapped it to lose a few inches of height, have a low rise seat and the shortest stem on the handle bars. This frame is a big frame. But with those mods, I easily flatfoot. The shock absorbing forks are a waste for climbing hills, wasted energy for guys that pedal. Lock'em out
