| Re: I hate mud. I loved mud when I raced MX. Mud seemed to fit my style of riding or something, but I would usually place well when it was muddy or pouring rain, sometimes even bring home the gold.
So did you fall down and go boom?  |

Maybe they got tired of helping me get un-stuck... |

| Re: I hate mud.  I knew there was something yet to come when I saw your 'more protection' thread when you mentioned you hadnt really washed it yet...and it looked like mine does AFTER I wash it
Did you not fall down because it was a physical impossibility (ie: mud appearing out of your triple clamp and suspending the bike  ), thats the stuff I love, but yeah..it's an acquired taste. Wouldn't be much riding up here until about Oct. if I didn't like mud and rocks  |

| Re: I hate mud. Figured I'd attach some recent images to make you feel better
The foot shot was in ~40 deg. water. I had already 'swam around' enough to get the chunks off, but for some reason felt like taking a pic?
The tailshot of the bike is about a 2-3 in the scale of mud grandeur for this area, it was just silty river mud. Typically its 2000 year old animal dung mixed in with topsoil, and that crap (even with 2300 psi) needs a danged air hammer to remove.
edit: realized you could indentify the swingarm and tire still, downgraded to a 2-3.

...and as long as it gets picked up quickly, before the aforementioned blood and brain matter have had a chance to dry

Just sounds a helluvalot better then "we'll be parking at the park entrance and we can throw the YZ in the back of the truck, unless you think the civic is ok for 10" of draft on the fireroads heading in?". |
