Yes,ridged frame chopper,foot clutch, no front fender, mechanical rear brake only.Hard rear tire (for mileage,not good for anything else).Crown of the road will put you down if not real gentle with the clutch,recommend 2nd gear starts even 3rd if you have mucho torque.Gearing down gently helps stopping otherwise down you go again.I went down 6 times in 80miles.Not recommended and to be avoided at all times.Cold can be dealt with,snow and/or ice literally a pain everywhere.Almost forgot,no sudden moves you will be moving real slow so go ahead and hit whatever is in the way,better than sliding under it.

Ran into some going over Colorado's Wolf Creek pass in early May of 2013. Favorite picture of the trip.

There's a thread on ADVrider in the basement called "Post your blah blah blah (profanity) GIFs here".

It's a treasure trove of some of the strangest sh*t you will ever see. But some of it is pretty cool as well. If you have about 20 hours to burn, check it out.
