Waxing philosophic;
I'm not so sure about the most toys thing. I came to think a cou[le of years ago that you never attain "the dream" because others will always have more / bigger. Me- I am down to 3 bikes now. Learning to do all (at least most) of my own maintenance. I have a couple of great bikes, good boots, the best wife and dog. I'm the richest man I know.

Trees; I get tired even looking at pictures of them. I'm sure not about to try taking a sidecar in amongst them. If you like that crazy kind of thing- good on ya. I'll wave as you go by.

Ernie, I'm not talking about crazy stuff.
Powerline roads, forest service trails, railroad right of ways, levee tops, river beds, using
topo maps and compass to discover old stage routes from old USGS geodata surveys.
That kind of stuff....

A good ride for me is making it there and back with nothing broken, on me or the bike!
All my stuff is near vintage, brought back from the dead, really don't want to preserve any of them twice.

I'm with you on the "he who has the most....." There are no winners in that game.
I'm guilty of excess accumulation and almost embarrased by my potential carbon footprint,
If I started all of my internal combustion engines at once the hotspot would be visible from a satelite and I might sink my acre "junkyard" right into the ground.

I like going slow, drive a Geo Metro Convertible and a Mercedes 240D to work but also have 1967 F350 for camping.

Anyway, the Bullet would make an interesting tug but not the type you're looking for.
I was thinking you wanted to explore smaller roads and knowing there are factory trials/enduro kits available for the Enfields,
it sounded like a good idea. The original Bullets were used quite a bit in early trials competion.

Tired of trees are ya?
I spent 10 years living at 10,000ft. in Colorado, trees didn't bother me much, wife getting too cold in the winter is what sent us back to the coast.
My boys were skiing at 2 years old, figured it was time for them to become watermen.

Good luck with what ever you decide to do and enjoy!
