Riding Season has Begun in Idaho!
The riding season has arrived in my part of Idaho!
![]() ![]() ![]() The melting snow can make the roads here very sloppy in the springtime thaw. ![]() ![]() Here's why you don't want a low front fender in Idaho. ![]() ![]() A stainless steel, exhaust header also makes it much easier to clean the baked mud off your pipes. ![]() ![]() Spud ![]()

Speaking of which, how do you normally clean your bike?

I put a plug in the muffler's exhaust hole. Then I spray the bike with my garden hose; I don't use a pressure washer.

Your garden hose must have good pressure, and Idaho mud must fall off easily.

My garden hose does have good pressure.

Love it Spud!
It was wise to bring the Torque Monster out in that mud. I hate mud. :wink: Funny sand is fun and smooth and easy now, but I have only ridden in the mud once, on my KLX, and ate it 3 times. ![]() Your lowlands are higher than my local highlands. :wink:

That is nasty mud. But the mountain looks great.
