Muddin' on the Yamaha............
Went out riddin today on my dirtbike. Rode for about 2 hours then I decided to hit this mudd hole. It looked like it wasnt to bad maybe 8 or 9 inches of water. But what I didnt know leid beneath. Got maybe 3 or 4 foot into it and sunk it above the tires in clay. Not only was it clay but we soon relized that it was one big sewage spill. It took us 3 1/2 hours to dig that thing out and get it home. Thats 3 1/2 hours of digging in sh!t. Soon realized that the clutch wasnt working right and was acting like I was pressing it when I wasnt. We now beleive that the clutch box is filled with dirt and water and will need time to dry out and be cleaned. I am just thankfull that I didnt flood the motor with that sewage water...................

lol i tryed to jump a sludge pond back in ny with my 500 honda dirt bike. where i used to live was and area full of oil wells the slugde ponds are made buy the oil well drillers these ponds are nasty as can be. they are the drill waste -what ever comes up when they drill a well- mostly oil,mud,water,ect.. well after a while they get a crust on the top 12-24" thick about half way up the bank the bike lost traction. i landed 8 feet from the far bank. the bike went from 50+ mph to a dead stop i don't have to tell you were i went. but i had to go get the lease dozer to pull that bike out. i got lucky the nasty did not get in to the carbs.but i had to get a new clucth and lower bearings oh yeah when i hooked the chain up i was only up to my waist in this crap -i was well lubed for about a week and several gasoline baths later.-which suck TRUST ME-
but i got my bike out. still wish i had the red rooster. loud as all get out but it would haul mail .. zooker
