It's ok on the road or levelled gravel, but yeah no so great on trails with loose rocks and logs to get over ... for that you need a good high power head torch and cautious riding style, lol
Sounds easy, no? To achieve it I moved to another country, learned a new language, took a 50% pay cut, and living here requires a lot more work just to be comfortable ... but I live halfway up a mountain in the middle of a nature reserve, it was worth it for me.
Depends on where you are, where you go, and how you live - a lot of the world lives off less than $10USD a day.
Before I moved I was getting by, now I'm financially comfortable despite having much less money.
Commutes are definitely a quality of life choice! As a kid my dad offered to let me ride my motorcycle to elementary school as a bribe to move to a small town. All the local kids would ride their horses to school so he figured a riding a dirtbike down the trails to school was basically the same thing.

Now that's a commute that would make my day just by travelling on it!

It really does do that, though then having to go to work instead of keep riding brings me down to earth with a bump, lol

At this time of year it's dark, so I go the long way around which is mostly paved road, lol

Step 1: find a job in the middle of nowhere.
Step 2: move there.

If I could take a 50% paycut and afford to live that would be a 100% gain.
Looks beautiful nonetheless.

Do I spy an X-Pro Titan?

I have no idea what that is, so I'm going to say no ... if you mean the motorbike, it's a Rieju Tango
