RE: Playing with the KLX in the Swamp
A little Adventure ride this weekend.
The videos are on the Hyperlink above since you can't put video in these posts.
[hr]
Robert(Swampy), Laura(AdventureGirl), Bill and I rode in the woods in Swampy's special trails.
We were sworn to secrecy, so I can't give the location except for somewhere in the swamps in Florida.
Getting ready to cross my first log of the day...hmmm not too bad!
Then this MONSTER log showed up in the trail.
We built a ramp with dead logs to get up the side hidden from the camera.
I think bill is saying "What? It's only a log!!
I see how nice and clean the bike is here!!
Almost there!!
Bill doing his mud thing!
Thick globby-chocolate-stucky-mud.
Spin that tire Bill..you might dig your way to China!
Laura doing her mud thing.
Another happy water crossing
A little "whoop".
Cool bridge in the middle of nowhere
Bill with his Bridge crossing.
Looking for traffic in the middle of nowhere
Bill doing his thing
Coming around a corner, letting the rear drift

Nice report Lauren, looks like a lot of fun, well......all except the mud.[8D] Not a big fan if you haven't heard. Don't get me wrong I don't mind getting wet or dirty, but that thick mud plugging up the tire, no thanks.

Hey Lauren, just one thing I notice in some of your pics, you need to......lets see how do I put this without sounding likea perv.......um close your legs against the tank and squeeze. Get used to doing that, and sitting up close to the tank. It makes riding a lot easier. That was a close one.

Having good buddies to help pull your bike from the muddy drink.... Priceless.
Been stuck in clay mud before. And whats worst, it was in the ditch between two hills, just by myself. Next time, I bring the come-along winch with me.
Deej, your sig pic cracks me up everytime I see it.
