Whatever? You have no idea how deep and thick that stuff was. Yes, I get stuck. Anyone that rides where we ride and how we ride will get stuck. It is part of the game. AND, there was one hole that I got stuck in the Scott from HighLifter made it out of. Actually, I made it out the first time, and got stuck the second time. He made it out twice. He has 28X12.5-12 outlaws and durablue spacers. The width really helps some times.I went to the smaller tires to make my bike a better all-round bike, and to ensure reliability. Sometimes I miss the big tires and spacers; however, I have not broken anything and reliabilty was my goal. I still believe that my bike set up the way it is will hang with about any Honda there is in the mud, and still ride well on the trails.

Why is it that the only pics of me are pics of me stuck, and the only pics of TexMud are of him being the MAN? hmmm... I think he has connections with the photographer.

Greg, You know I would of had a lot more pics if it weren't for some looser saying to leave the camera and we would be back to get it....

I dont have many pics of the the Rubicon in action because I keep forgetting the camera. As you can see by the comment above, I would of had a ton if someone (cough...cough....greg) had not told us to leave the camera. And there would of been some of me stuck too. Some of the other folks got more pics than I did.

The mud where Greg was stuck was very thick and very deep. I was the third quad through and the fifth and everyone else got stuck. I think that us first few folks "woke" up the mud and then it started sucking in people. All in all it was a great ride.

Ya'll know this was a chain reaction, I pushed out another Grizz and got stuck, Sims came in to push me out, and it went downhill from there. I think you are right about the connections between the photographer and TEX. hhmmmmmm go figure. TEX tell Alise that I am disappointed in her, not one pic of the Griz and I helped her up the hill over by the creek. The shame of it all. Had lots of fun, maybe the next time we will come to Lavon.
