Years ago, I went off-roading with two of my friends to a place called Jawbone Canyon in California. It is located in the high desert north of L.A. and very sandy. My one friend had a CR500, the other friend had a KX500 (don't quote me on the name, but it was the 2-stroke). I was on the KX owner's other bike, a 4-stroke 250 Kawasaki something or another. All three bikes had rear paddles. It was probably the worst ride I had ever been on! We even switched bikes, and all 3 felt like I was going to crash at any moment. In fact, I had gone on a long weekend off-roading with my friend with the CR500 and other friends months later, to Pismo Beach on the sand dunes, no less, and the ride in Jawbone Canyon was worse for some reason.
