    I finally decided to try the chainsaw mount on my 125, my WR250f has been my dedicated chainsaw bike for years. It works very well for that so I have not messed with what works. I wanted to get some seat time on the 125 so I decided to mount up the setup I let buddies borrow with my small saw and quick mount that goes on with 4 hose clamps. It worked very well, I was really happy. I still cant believe how well it worked... These bikes never cease to amaze me. Also with the lectron I used just at 1.75 gallons in 52 miles, almost 30mpg! That rules, pushing 4 stroke territory there.

    The early morning clouds were really cool.

    Our largest tree for the day this one was elevated about 3 feet and about 36" across it was a bit scary to cut.

    This trail doesn't get ridden much, at times it is hard to find.

    We could have stayed home and watched some sporting event on tv, but missed them all for stuff like this

    We even stopped for a swim in one of the nice lakes later in the day

    Saw some small rocks

    Some had trees growing out of them

    Another cool lake at the end of the day

    And then we rode right under the waterfall where the water left the lake

    All in all we hit 5 lakes in 52 miles, not a tough way to spend the day.


    Here is the video from that one trail yesterday, it is a long video for a very short trail. This 4 miles took us 28 minutes of riding based on the video. Clearing the trail as we went it took a little over 2 hours.

    Beautiful country! Thanks for posting. Great way to carry the saw, I used carry one years ago in a paper boys sack.

    I remember the first time I rode that SOB of a trail and got to this point heading across thinking there better be a freaking trail on the other side!!! Buddy Adam was like "how did you see the trail", Answer, "I didn't was just hoping there was one".

    Scott took me there last weekend. I had no idea that that little slice of singletrack heaven is only 40 minutes from my garage. Thanks SO much for sharing it with him/us. Fabulous.
