Out of control
 
I've mostly stayed off the technical dirt this summer because it's been wet all the time. Well, yesterday I decided to give it a try. We have an area south of Bismarck called the Desert and I drove my Magician down there to test myself. I'm 71 yoa, but I'm in what I thought is great shape. It's mostly deep sand and lately mud.



The one time I was keeping my weight back to float above the sand, and all of a sudden I was at full throttle in 2nd gear sliding around trees, etc. Need to remember to keep a finger on the clutch because I couldn't rotate my hand to slow the bike. Would have made a great Funny Home Video.

Did you have to order new riding pants, or do you think the hashmarks will all come out in the wash? :lmao:

Been watching Ariemann1 since someone posted this video. Skip to 10:19, he's GETTIN' IT in the sand, ending with a sweet slow-mo shot. Is that what you looked like?

While I was under control, I looked like that, but then I went around a tree with my right foot down and couldn't find the peg again. It had folded up. I'm zip tying it down from now on.

I wore sweat pants under my riding pants, but luckily no bowelcident. My riding pants were pretty nasty on the outside from sliding in the mud though.

probably more of a pucker up moment then a loose goose juice.
