Went out to the river again, the snow had just melted, and there was ice on the ground in places, a brisk wind was blowing, and the trails were a bit muddy.
Took a ride off to the hills were there are some rocky outcrops. Last time I was there a guy on a DRZ400E had tried to get up to the cave and had made it half way (the DRZ is a very good climbing bike), and the guy had challenged me to give it a go (as my bike had the trials engine !), and had declined the challenge. This time with just my son by my side, and some people up at the cave, I gave it a bash, as it was slick and muddy at the bottom, I had to ride in first and just putted on up, carving my way up to the halfway mark where my buddy had got stuck, without slowing, I just eased on up the hardest part, up, up and away we went, no hesitation, no big fight, just rode on up to the cave. Last week when I was there I had thought I could make it, did not need an audience for my first bash, this time I was just amazed at how easy it was. I can bet my buddies in their full sized MX bikes would have been dumbfounded :)
I like this little bike, more and more, every time I ride it. :cool:
