Redneck MacGyver
Over the weekend me and one of my buddies went out on the klrs, he took me too some great spots with all sorts of terrain and obstacles something I thought I was ready for but quickly realized I was wrong!
First was a spot with some serious hill climbs, the pic does it no justice this was the tallest hill at about 80ft and a min of 60% grade. 1st fall

I made it about 2ft from the top on my 1st attempt then got out of the groove and dug a trench, luckily the bike just gently laid over since the back tire was half way burried. 2nd attempt more speed more momentum=hill conquered
When then hit some asphalt on the way to a "mud bog" trail, it was basically just a old dirt road that was so rutted out you could drive at the bottom of a rut and be eye level with a guy riding next to you tires. No pics from this place but this is where fall 2&3 happened. I tried coming out of a rut and the back end just came out and laid over, on my 2nd attempt I figured I would try and give it hell! BAD IDEA!!! This time I hit the side so hard that my highway bar dug into the side and threw me over the handle bars but in the process my reproductive organs introduced themselves to my mirror, they proceeded to get in a fight and the mirror lost by getting its base broke. I stood up never before feeling a pain like that and proceeded to puke my guts out!!!
Time for a cigarette break...
We eventually made it out of there went and ate lunch then went on to Windy Gap ORV trails. They have everything from haul ass trails to goat trails. By this point my confidence is actually better on the dirt even after all the spills so I say Abu what the hell lets hit the goat trail, BAD IDEA!!! It's considered a expert trail which I didn't know at the time and it had rained the night before. The 1st 2 miles of this trail is just one giant boulder field all covered with nice slick mud. I took about a 1hr and 2 more falls for me to get down the rocks and after that I was completely exhausted and about ready to admit defeat!View attachment 44350
But I caught my 3rd wind and we pushed on to some of the best trails and scenes around north gaView attachment 44351View attachment 44352View attachment 44353View attachment 44354View attachment 44355
All in all it was one hell of a day and I can't wait to do it again even though I never knew it was that much of a workout and completely exhausting, just makes me want to quit smoking and and start working out again. And for all my falls and as much hell as I gave the bike I'm surprised it don't look worse! Thanks to bark busters, engine guards, rad guards ets etc etc View attachment 44356
