Dam that is cool as hell, would be a great ride. How are the bugs though! I got eaten alive when I was there.

Well it's Friday now, better late than never:

We started about 8:30. Daniel met at my house with his DR650. My friend Adam went with us and rode my KLX and I rode the BMW:



We rode some firetrails for about 15 miles and came across this gate:



Luckily the chain and two locks were not attached to the gate:


A little later we came across this:


It was deeper than it looked:




This guy showed up on the quad while all three of us were pulling on the BMW and asked if we were stuck. His name was Louie and that's all I have to say about him.


Here's DR Daniel, notice the blood stains on the bike. He's had a few spills and had to patch his front fender and side panels. He added the red paint to cover up his patch work.


This is along the old brick road:




We went to Princess Place afterwards. I've posted some pics before:




The first in-ground pool in Florida:


Some old trees, I can just imagine Indians walking through this property a few hundred years ago:


The bikes took a break:


We headed home after that and cleaned the bikes on my patio:




I'm ready to do it again this weekend, but I have too many projects lined up.

Actually, the KLX did run through it. But it was too fast for a picture.

Great ride! Great pics! How does the Dakar compare to the Big Suzook off road. Of course I'm assuming the KLX kicks both of their **** in the mud?
