Did anyone take some laps around the quad mx track? It looked like fun last time I was there but I didn't bring my quad that time, just the bike.

Could not tell what one was the quad track.
Had more fun in the mud.

I don't know about this mudding :x
Hosed it off last night. Washed it today. Nothing but mud and rock in every little spot. 2 to 3" rocks up in the frame rubbing on the front drive shaft. :shock: Pull starter will have to come apart on Sunday :shock: Got muddy water in there also. Pull the foot well, pull the cover bla bla bla.
I like rocks and snow 8)

No word on Tom either

I'm feeling better. My wife took me to the ER last night, Had the leg x-rayed. The doctor said there didn't appear to be anything broken. :D I'm thinking this is an old knee injury that flared up when my knee cap slammed into the gas tank/handlebars as I came to an abrupt stop in that bog.

Thanks to everyone for lending me a hand You all are the best!!

glad your ok Tom!

That mud at prairie city is the worst too. Dont let it sit on your machine...it hardens and dries into cement. We took my old black jeep out there once and did the serious mud thing...it never recovered. for years every time I worked underneathe I had dirt and rock falling in my eyes and jacking up electrical, etc.

Awesome Tom. I'll post the photo when I get home....but we were looking at it, to see if we could tell how/where you got hurt....and your knee seemed to be OK...as far as bent properly before the "blow"....no funky angles.


NOTE TO TOM....when Ken and Bill go through slow....DO THE SAME THING! :)

Tom,

I think that's an excellent idea

and here's after you smacked your knee...as you can see...no bad angles, which is good.

and...after Mr. Bill First Aid is applied...

From that first shot, you would have almost expect to see him past the handle bars.

I am sooo glad that you are Ok.. I'm sure you're a bit battered and bruised!! But, I'm wondering if that is a result of the actaul quad escapade OR the thrashing your wife gave you after she found out nothing was broken!! :twisted:

It goes on and on...
More rocks found under motor, mud and rocks filled the rear brakes.
Had to take the caliper off and clean pads, remove rock around pads, and clean out the brake piston behind the pad it was full of mud :twisted:
Mud is evil...
Matthew wants to go fishing in the local ponds so front brakes on Tuesday...

Pull starter was OK just condensation. Good to look in there greased the starter bendex.

Ken give the rigs a very good looking over.

Tom you walking or do you have some days off?

PS Tom and nocoad you guys should not be as bad as me and Ken we were in and out of the swamp a couple times.
Come to think of it you both just mad half passes :wink:

I think Bill would throw someone off their quad if he thought he could take out his first-aid kit..
