Living here in AZ, theres alot of old rail tracks through the mountains. This looks like alot of fun. Build it, pack up a cooler, some extra gas, and just go riding all day long through the hills

That would be cool as long as the tracks are actually abandoned.

You can tell at a glance. Tracks with lots of rust on top are abandoned. Shiny ones will get you run over.

I'm sorry, but that looks really boring. Put a shifter kart drivetrain on it if you wanna actually have some real fun.

I'm down. The wild west is awesome so long as you don't get stranded way out there, esp. at night when temperatures drop.

I used to work out in the desert. Sweat all day, then freeze at night when the temps drop and your clothes are still soaked in sweat.
