Title: Dirty Monster
Post by: scooby on June 03, 2008, 09:15:51 AM
Just a little dirty... [laugh] I'm sure someone else has a dirtier one...  [clap]

This was taken after riding in the rain for about an hour on a dirt road (don't ask...).  :P And, it ended up getting dirtier!

Wow.  How did you end up?  Covered in mud as well?  How long did that take to clean off?

My backpack (as I was on a multiday ride) got fairly dirty, and my boots were totally covered in mud. The bike is actually still not clean; I did hose it off slightly at the motel the next morning, but it needs a major going over, which will happen later today...

Here it is on the 2nd day in front of a map of some of the roads where we were...

This is the central Oregon coast mountain range. All the roads on this map are single lane paved (except the ones that aren't... [laugh] ).

Hats off good sir! Glad to see we have some people who are not afraid to get a bit dirty.

Fresh dirt is impressive, the sign of adventure.

Scooby you are a better man than me. I will not ride my Monster on a dirt road. I'm constantly lusting after something a bit more dual purpose in order to hit the dirt.

Time to go get it dirty, again!  [evil]

I also HAVE a KTM dual sport, but just LOVE riding my monster...

I second that thought.  I would suggest taking your clutch apart and wiping the plates down.  You'll find if you don't it will start sticking.  Don't ask me how I know.  [roll]  [laugh]
