    I'm sick. I think i like slopping around in the mud more than dealing with dust. Fall riding is in full effect already in the NW, slick rocks covered in clay grease with a layer of snot leaves. Love it. I wonder how many calories are burned up riding this stuff?

    I never like dust. Dust makes me sick...I get dust boogers in my eyes and nose and I cough.:eek: I love mud. I have fallen down in the worst of it, but somehow I have always managed to keep from getting any up my nose.:thumbsup:

    That last shot is awesome.:notworthy:

    I also like fall/winter riding better then the hard packed dust covered clay we get in the summer. Give me three weeks of heavy rain and I consider the trails to be perfect.

    And I don't mind the white dust either...

    (Sorry about the YZ and KX pics but I don't have any mud pics of my WR yet.)

    Yep its now dusty in Oz. Did a 2 day ride with mates in the Watagans. 36 C both days and dusty as all get out. Come on Autum. I really will get to the NW USA one day and ride there, same as Vancouver-been there skiing but I recon the riding in those parts either side of the boarder would be a real joy.

    Woodschick,

    How did the two WR's get along? Sibling rivalry? :)

    Best thing about riding in western Montana is that you so seldom run into other riders that dust is rarely a factor other than the guy in front of you. Dust isn't usually bad even in the driest summer.

    Yep, I totally agree this is the best time to ride up here. In fact in a couple weeks I'm riding from Seattle to Yuma AZ, and I ain't comin back!

    I know that but from the safetey of the fringes. Bulldog like a nutcase right through the middle. You could call it a waterproofing and a chain and sprocket durability test.

    unfortunately if you did this they would call it trail closure.

    The 250 thinks it's the best looking bike on the block but my 144 knows the score :thumbsup:

    Eric and I would be mortal dangers to each other if we were on the same bike :lol:

    I'll post a ride report today if I can get out of bed and sit up straight long enough to get it done... (cough-cough-snurf-sniffle)

    What?? Are you admitting publicly that you don't read each and every one of my posts daily? I don't believe it... :mad:





    :lol:

    Yeah, Eric got a leftover `09 WR250 from Bill in Salem. He wanted a 300 at first but he had a great time on the 250 the Wagonwheel Tours guys so graciously let him ride up at China Hat. Now we have just as many Huskys as we do GasGases and my ride reports will look a lot better :D
