   ...Liked the idea   
   of a Rokon two-wheel drive motorcycle but nearly had heart failure   
   when viewing the price. It's even doubled since I last looked😬 Still   
   think it would work great. Could have carried it on rear of the truck   
   using a hitch mount. Though can't fathom leaving it unattended anywhere   
   with that kinda price tag...

   ----------------------------   
   Although Rokons are made nearby I've never seen one on the trails. My Suzuki   
   185 would go almost anywhere, rabbit path to Interstate, just not as fast as   
   others so on long club trail rides I tended to fall back with the wives. The   
   invisible slippery rocks in a river were a challenge but I made it across   
   without falling and up the bank. The most capable rider had a Bultaco 125CC   
   Pursang and the skill to make the most of it.   
      
   We practiced the stunts of Trials competitions such as full-lock turns   
   balanced by the throttle, and stopping with feet up. I got as far as   
   climbing over a tree stump.   
      
   If the mud was impossible a folding camp saw cut sticks to 'pave' a firmer   
   trail.   
      
   The Suzuki was well suited to conditions here, street-legal plus capable of   
   narrow twisting forest trails. It's previous owner had ridden it in   
   California Enduros but I don't think it was powerful enough to be   
   competitive and the trials universal tires limited its sand, mud and snow   
   traction. It was fine for exploring.
