    Nice save, I had a similiar one yesterday but ended up slipping off on the shore of the puddle and getting just a little wet(er).

    I'm amazed at the water holes at pachaug a lot of them are just flooded rock gardens so you have to be ready for a bumpy ride through the water ,
    believe it or not the hole we avoided was longer and deeper
    (thats what she said ).

    Re: I got wet

    Is that the same water hole I had trouble with 2 weeks ago, or is that the water hole I went swimming in last spring on the KTM?

    after riding a season I've determined that maybe we should trade in the dirt bikes for jetski's...

    Re: I got wet

    Nice save!

    As you might already know, I hate getting wet on dirt rides... especially early in the ride!

    Picked up a new to me KTM450 dual sport... looking to get back into riding dirtier trails than the KLR was comfy doing.

    Weather is looking perfect for Wednesday - hoping to get out there and get comfortable on a big bore off-road bike again (used to have a Yam WR450).

    Took the KTM for a quick spin on some power lines and was reminded just how powerful these things are.

    Fortunately, the KTM suspension is nicely tuned for the woods.

    Lol, Yeah, Tony, it's pretty damned wet out there now. Many water/mudholes are unavoidable at this point. I'd love to get some riding in this weekend, but it's looking like rain, rain, rain.
