I have. Get off the main drag and its nothing but mud and deep holes. Especially during the monsoon season. No place for a big Harley . It's for profits and nothing more. The rest of the world isn't built on a petroleum economy like we are , they want to use as little gas as possible. In my opinion anyway. Too each his own.
