went to a friends

I have a friend that had about 2 acres with trails cut here and there as well as perimeter.

but we have not taken a ride there in about a year and he has been too busy with other things so it is a bit grown over so we volunteered to run the trails to beat them back down. that was fun for a bit but we have to cut up a few fallen timbers to complete some of the trails.

then I tackled the mud pit. last time i tried this mud hole I got stuck all the time because i had crappy tires and a crappy carb.....things were different this time :wink:

still think it bogs down like that because i am not using enough throttle in the beginning???

why they do not make bigger fenders on sport quads I will never know

but then I wouldn't look this great for pics if they did now would I??

If there was an Olympic medal for mud it would be worn by a proud Canadian right now. 8)

We love trail riding, but we're not big on mud.

You have rightfully earned the "greasy mud award," MidLife! The mud here in Idaho is much thicker.

It would be good for the fist few feet or one tire revolution. Then it would be covered in mud and rendered useless. :wink:
