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.....

Add 500 feet of elevation gain, routine washout, downed trees and branches and Bigfoot's
feces to all of that and you have my road.
