Wheel hop, the great destroyer!
Well I have been dropping the clutch - a LOT - but I have the grandma gear on....and it's just a torque beast....not a lot of wheel spinning or hopping, just torquing away - it is great on grass and dirt.

Well - that is my point in a way, folks are concerned their bikes might be damaged. So far my 20 year old bike is not complaining. Wish I had better brakes though!!
