Title: Rangitata gorge.
Post by: Timbowe on May 07, 2006, 07:06:41 PM

Went riding yesterday. Which in all reallity is your today, Sunday, riding day! :-D

 Great track. Everything thrown in. Gnarly bulldozer track up through a dry stream bed. 1st gear crawling over big rocks to deep bog holes that caused their share of dramas for alot of riders including me. Fast, top gear drag racing grass padocks, hill side tracks, greasy mud downhills. Forest tracks. You name, it was there. (no sand sorry you dune hounds). :mrgreen:

It must take you another 10 hours to clean off the mud! Sand only requires 5 minutes with an air hose! He He!
My KX has never been even close to anything that resembles mud, I think it would just stall if I pointed it at a stream or mud hole! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice Pic Tim!

Alan :-D

Very nice! It rained here and was 58 degrees. It was in the high 80's the day before. Oh well. Still no riding. Again, looks great. Reminds me of back in VA. Alot of farm lands and excellent tracks around.

    Timbowe, you are a dedicated rider for sure.  It's cool when you see a sweet bike getting in the dirt and having fun.
    The last time I put a vehicle of mine in the mud, it took me two days of cleaning, polishing, and 4 rattle cans of gloss black for the undercarriage.  I find it tough to put a bike in the mud that's polished up like that. I guess I'm getting a little too lazy....  :-)

    Did you get any water or mud in the airbox?  I am curious how well the air vent doors seal off the box?
