Default Grass growing grizzly!

Guys, i discovered the funniest thing while cleaning my grizzly..I do alot of riding in an old pasture where the grass is atleast 3 feet tall, so basically when i am riding i collect alot of grass seeds on my atv.Today while cleaning it i notcied alot of grass seed on the a-arms (the skidplates catch it) and there was grass growing...like 2 inches of nice thick grass! Anything similar ever happen to you? I just found it very funny that my grizzly was growing grass on the a-arms.

How long has it been since you last washed it?
I did see grass growing on a telephone pole from where they sprayed grass from one of those hydro machines along the highway.

I know the feeling.. used to get rye grass growing on the plastic rack thingies on my dads T'wolf. We used his bike to put out the rye before deer season. That stuff will grow anywhere!

Yep, I had to mow around the base of my hitch before. Dirt & grass seed collect on the rear portion of the skid plate just forward of where it wraps up around the rear end of the frame (the area of where the hitch is attached). The rest of my machine gets cleaned (either with a hose, power washer or a wet trail thrashing) to keep any clump of dirt on it from staying long enough to sprout life.
