wet clay + shot rear tyre = fail
 

Had a bit of trouble getting up a clay hill today, in Hants, UK. Good job I had friends to point, laugh and take pics of me NOT getting up the hill. Only 2 out of the 6 of us made it up, both being CRF's (250&450), while me on the EC 300, KTM 250exc, WR426 and a tank of a bike, an 85 XR600 all failed.



Heres some pics for your amusement:D

:D :D :D Good pics, don't worry it's really wet here atm and I tasted some nice mud yesterday too :mad:

That looks slicker'n pig shit ....
I bet even a new knobbie would have a hard time!!

The guy on the XR 600 must be 10ft tall,fart flames & piss bullets to take this sort of terrain on!Good fun!

Looks like fun. Thx for the pics.

What tire psi were you running?

Thats one place I would not want to have my trials tire on my GG!

15psi in the back

probably a bit high....

i always carry the camera...that way i don't get caught in the pictures...

looks nasty... but nice form... way to "stick" the landing
