While exploring some new trails this weekend I found an area of red clay that matches my bike perfectly! Now my KTM won't show any dirt, how cool is that?

Check it:

 

So, when are you going to get some of that mud on the bike? Yourbike is looking good, where is that new seat?

 

Nice! Actually that photolooks pretty cool.

Now if you can find green mud, you will be Deej's hero.

 

When we get some rain. [&:]

New seat is "almost ready". I could have really used it this weekend - lots of road miles searching out and finding some new trails. Google Earth is great.

 

looking good man.

 

We just might have to have a "NC" ride one of these days. Maybe when it turns colder up north

 

does that stuff get slippy when wet?

 

looks cool. we somehave red clay here in cali but it's got alot ofsharp slate rock in it. boy it tears you up when you scrub...lol

 

Yeah, man, that's nasty stuff when it gets wet - slick slick slick. Sticks to everything. Stains your clothes, too. Good stuff, you'd like it.

Dave, NC has some great riding, just not much where I'm at. [&:] The best stuff is to the west near the mountains, but that's about 6 or 7 hours from me. Just a few hours east of me is Uwharrie NF which has some ORV trails where the jeep guys take their rock crawlers. I've been meaning to get over that way, but haven't yet. It's on my list to check out, though. And a few hours to the south are the sand hills which I hear are good fun also.

But I find I need to do 10 or 20 miles of road to get in just a few miles of trails. I can patch together a decent ride, but it'd be 80% road, 20% off-road. The good news is that some of the off-road is twisty tight singletrack and really works you. The bad news is that they are little short sections. I'd love to be able to go on an all-day ride and never see pavement, but I can't do that here. Gotta load up the bike and drive a few hours at least to get that kind of riding.

 

It may match the color now, but wait until the mud is wet. Then everything gets stained one color. If youwant that clay mud, then move to Oklahoma, theres plenty of it for everyone. And still washing it off the KLX after I got stuck in it.
