JD - I sympathise with you.....

Many years ago when I was working in South Africa, I lived on a dirt road - about a mile from the tar. At the time I was (apart from my company car) running my pride and joy, a rather nice Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV and a Velocette MSS classic motorcycle. When we bought the house, the road really didn't register with me regarding the downside of driving the Alfa and Velo on dirt.....

But it wasn't long before reality struck - driving a classic car or bike on a dirt road is the pits - add in holes that can swallow your suspension in one go, gravel that ruins your paintwork / windscreen and the local 4WD idiots who are determined to overtake you no matter what.......
In the end, I really didn't want to take the car and bike out of the garage. It was just too much hassle and the driving pleasure was outweighed by the problems described....

So I can relate to your conundrum, tho' I don't have an answer.....
