What do you wear in the hot summer?

Been there, done that

Did he have any issues getting it running again? Maybe he will ride better if he gets rid of the pink gear

Actually, he's wearing orange and brown gear with a red and white helmet. There's just a teeny bit of pink tape where his camera mount is on top of his helmet. It just looks washed out in the exposure. His bike wasn't going to go another inch under it's own power. We pushed it back up through the boulder field and waited for an unsuspecting 4X4 trucker to come along. My friend got to have a ride in the truck back to his car and then brought the machine to my place on Monday. I poured all the water out of the exhaust, kickety-kicked all the water out of the motor and the carb had been acting up from scum before the dunking, so it was overhauled. No water seemed to get in the fuel tank and I changed the transmission goo out for fresh oil. Then the bike lit up as happy as can be.

Hey, man, that wasn't me! It was the Dame! I would have given you a tow, but that's about it I've drowned my bike out on the trail before. In fact, I did it 3 times during one enduro! I've always just pulled the plug, flipped it over and pumped out the water with the kickstarter. Put it all back together and ride it outta there. Change the oil when you get home and you're good to go

He actually dropped it twice and it got away from him and bobbed downstream a bit. It was drown at the bottom of a ravine with a steep trail out. I suggested that we could flip it upside down, but he didn't see the logic in that. He is a great guy but like a little kid sometimes with his learning curve at trail riding. Being that it was 4:30 in the afternoon and he didn't have a spare plug or a tow rope, not to mention any useful tools, we just decided to make it a quick way out for everybody since we could. In fact, I was the only one in the group that had tools, but my tow rope was in another tool bag safe at home.
