I can toss it around/easy to maneuver

Two years
I prefer to spend more time on the dirt than the road - the only reason road features so highly is because I commute on it.
I love the way it rides.

And next weekend it goes off to have her sidecar fitted... but you didn't ask that

Not yet, just some sand paths
Rides great, easy handling, looks good and sounds great! (and lets not forget its affordabillety)

 

[Irishguy]

A few months.
Every time I ride it, because I love on a Forest Service road out in the middle of Nowhere, Alabama.
I like the riding position, and I like the whole form factor of the bike. I like the utilitarianism of it. It's like a 2 wheeled version of my 1997 Jeep Wrangler, my favorite off-road/running errands vehicle.

first one -2019: one year and ten months
second one - 2020: just over two months.
the first one will be mostly for off roading and the second will be for adventure riding.
haven't done much off-road as the sleet bike is down right now. The slate has been off-road at all yet.
I like the simplicity of the bike. I feel confident enough to work on just about anything on it.

just over 2 years. haven't been off road yet. affordability. it's such a utilitarian bike. I take it grocery shopping, running errands and commuting. don't have to worry about shinning any chrome.

Haven't been off road? We should all stand around and gasp Of course it depends on what you mean by 'off road' - I prefer to ride dirt roads than sealed and have tackled a couple of fire trails but not this single track stuff the young turks talk about.
