    I live in South Hutch and enjoy Dirt Roads and know a bunch of them. Just give me a shout would love to go play out in the dirt and always up to meet new riders.

    Piute, what type of tires are you running on your SOHC? I've been kicking around the idea of dual-sporting my 72 CB750, and I've heard the Dunlop K70 (factory tire for that bike) works great on dirt roads.

    They're great! If you want a more knobby tire but still performs good all the way around, check out the shinko 244. I've got both on my rides.
    I'd feel better about the 705's on a CB though.
