Title: Getting Down And Dirty!
Post by: High On Octane on July 22, 2013, 09:01:41 pm
Played around in the dirt today, and even a little mud!  I'm still trying to get the hang of this video making business, but here's my best effort.  Even did a little slow motion action with a little air time.  :)   Enjoy!

The only guy in the world that can use an old RE 700cc road bike like a Scrambler. And survive with it. Great video.   ERC

Well, as my friends tell me, I'm not like most people.  In fact, this isn't the first street bike I made dirt road capable.
Observe Exhibit A. 1983 Suzuki GS550 ESD with Dual Sport tires.  I took that bike all over Rocky Mountain back country, this pic was taken on what the locals call Holy Shit Road.  It's a fun one!

The view from this dirt road when you turn around.  Elevation about 12,000'

Thanks!  But I'm not worried about getting dirty, I have free access to the car wash across the street!  Besides, I didn't get nearly as dirty as this from last year.    ;D

Fun!

Yes it is!    :D

At 1:50, I thought you were doing to get wet! A little target fixation there?. Nice save!

Actually the front tire hit a rock buried in the mud and almost washed out on me!  I did get a muddy foot tho.  Lol
