    did some riding in the fields today near my house. the river is flooded so it made it pretty muddy n sloppy n FUN. had a blast this evening even though my sparkplug got coated in goo, nothing a wrench and a pocket knife couldnt take care of though and was back riding in a cpl minutes. ive been having probs with this bike coating the plugs. i started out at 40:1 but have got it down to 32:1 and its still doin it. partly because i dont flog it like i should its been bored 40 over so ive been told i think it might be gettin too much fuel in there. only had this bike (94rm250) for a month, price was rite so im back into the dirtbike game. for the money this bike is fine but far from a woods machine imo. one of those new 4strokes is already sounding better n better i hear a certain 09 txc 450 callin me from the husky shop!!

    I blew up a RM125 in a Harescramble crossing a field like that. You'd hit it in 6th gear and by the time you got to the middle you were down to 1st. Sure is nice that you have a natural bike stand and bet it was fun walking outta there with motocross boots on!

    dart, it wasnt too horrible, i ended up firing er back up ...after removing like 20 pounds of mud from my boot hahaha. lots of throttle and roost while pushing/riding got it done. all in all a good time. there wasnt no way i would have been able to push it out with no power i dont think. i almost got stuck myself takin the pic.

    I do like going through the muddy slop, but I just don't like to clean it up when I get home...then it becomes work!
