Default Salisbury Plain

First day out off-road on my KLX 250.

For those that don't know, Salisbury Plain in the UK is used as a military proving ground for tanks etc...

A perfect playground for dirt bikes !

I've never understood why people intentionally drive into deep mud, or water covered ruts. I went to a couple mud races as a kid in Colorado, and it was fun to watch, but I prefer to keep high and dry if I can help it! I keep imagining dumping in the deep stuff, filling the air box & cylinder, and then getting drenched trying to pull the bike out!

Maybe I'm getting old....

Because it's there

And emptying out the water and restarting the bike is half the fun.

Deej and I aren't too far away, but I've only washed my bike once this season
