Two falls, a pissed off farmer, a huge puddle and a trench.

Post by geodude »

I headed out this evening after work to hunt down some new lanes for the next Muddy Puddle Run.

I found the one I was looking for but it turned out to be a little slippery.

In this video;

* Muddy puddles,
* Pissed off farmer
* I find the lane I was looking for and got more than I bargained for!
* I fall off, twice
* I chicken out of a huge puddle.
* I make a bad move and have to negotiate a trench.

:lol: :lol: :lol: That's a funny vid. You might have the farmer after you for sticking him on youtube. I can hear him now "I did not sign a release form, you didn't ask permission" :lol: Now go and straighten those handlebars out.

you keeping the DR when you get a firestorm cause I know that storms do not go well off road. Especially with poor riding like that.

I dont know, A set of knobblies and barkbusters and engine bars, it would be fine!

Looking at a DRZ400 at the moment. I'll keep the DR for as long as the wife lets me flout the two bike rule!!
