Ok, We tried a Japanese style 12” folding hand saw initially, not good…, a Forrest worker fortuitously showed up as we were scratching our heads, he cut a section for us to to continue into the darkness until we hit another massive trail blockage, low on fuel, we turned around on a very steep rocky trail, not pretty for some old dudes. We navigated out to a highway and fuel with about a 1/2 gallon each remaining. On a side note, you can see I ended up on my skid plate in the ditch, I fried my new Barnett clutch and destroyed a brand new Continental rear tire climbing out of the hole (ALT RIDER skid plate is awesome), all in all, great fing day! Love to beat this machine, best bike I have ever owned!

I’ve always wondered why those old bridges were built with a roof. I’ve only ever seen photos of them from North America. Anyone care to explain.

To shield how badass we are from spy scum.
Jokes aside people used to really give af about quality and craftsmanship.

Well that makes sense. Coming from a country that doesn’t really do snow I could never understand the design.

I’m not criticising the design or putting it down. I never understood why you would build a bridge with a roof. I did wonder if it added something to the strength of the bridge and increased its load capacity. Now I know why, it’s a smart solution.
