It handles great with the frame bag. The only problem I have if its overstuffed it rubs my legs a bit. Its my first attempt at sewing and it worked out well. I now have a smaller tent that fits in the frame bag so everything is a little more compact.
Yeah I ride a lot of different terrain. I live around the Great Salt Lake so there are a bunch of dirt farm roads and wildlife management area service roads that are fun to ride on, and most are dirt.
This ride was on a railroad causeway across the Great Salt Lake. Don't tell anyone, I think the road is off limits
. It was an over nighter.
