This place is a higher elevation from a few weeks ago......and I dont think it ever dries out it was also 87F....... the nephew loves this place he loves muck.....but its a bit too slow going for old uncle Troy.....and my bike wasnt running to well... too fat on jetting.....I wasnt a happy camper....and the kid thought it was funny.... then I snuffed the damm bike out .....:foul: over all it was still lots of fun though....did 90k rode till dark... here is a snippet... http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk82/thumpertalk2008/?action=view¤t=drenchedone.flv
Alright! I've had it with all you people that have wet mucky places to ride at this time of year. That does it. Now I'm going to have to pack up my trail bike (and a snorkel) and come up to one of these places and ride until I'm too waterlogged to go on.
Look like some pretty deep puddles over in AB.too. What's that creaking in your camera audio? I have to turn the volume way up to hear your engine and then WHAM you hit a branch and almost blow my speakers. We just finished our ride here and the place was soaked with a Thunder shower. Glad we got off the mountain.
good stuff..........the mic "squeeky" noises made it sound like a 3 masted man-o-war rather than a fine bike at some points. LOL Good to see someone else has a U-boat base to ride in besides me. Joe
That creaking noise is my neckbrace rubbing on the underside of my helmet....I must confess that I dont even know I'm wearing the thing..but the noise on the cam is unreal.... Yep it sure gets wet there and its only 50kms from my door....yet I travel 150k to the south and its desert..we definately have all kinds of riding here... love it
The bike started after 4 0r 5 kicks....must have been water in the vent hoses...?? whats your take..??
Nice Vid! It's either that or the little drainage slot in your stator cover has not been filled, on my two bikes I just used a little steel epoxy to fill the gap, but make sure to pull the cover after a ride wet or dry(condensation).
Cool video It's funny, when I hit pause, the video stopped, but the sound kept going, there ya were frozen, not moving, but the bike kept revving & the squeaking continued.
Wow...thanks....I will take the cover off and investigate... I guess I should get with the program and get a carb vent filter set up too...
