I went to lowes the other day and bought an electric pressure washer for about $180 and it has the perfect amount of pressure to clean the dry clay off the bike. You have to watch the stickers though. Some of the local car washes get mad when you bring muddy vehicles in.
Just as Motoguy said getting used to riding on the back tire is taking some getting used to. I don't think I am cornering as fast as he is and it still makes me nervous on the trails. I definaltely want a more aggressive tire settup before I increase my speed on the trails. Practice makes perfect or broken bones I've heard.

Blue header. This baby got HOT. Well, lets see, I was travling at 0mph, with the enigne at 6000-10000 RPM and about 30% throttle with wheel and drivetrain caked with mud and spinning in place.

Thanks for the suggestions, but if it happened once, it will happen again. This won't be the last time I get the engine hot enough to blue the pipe. I acutally don't mind how it looks with it that way. It shows that I use the bike for it's intended purpose.
