Playing in the mud

[mindaugas]

I was riding in my OBW with my wife and mom on our way to waffle house, and I saw a Mercedes boxy SUV something or other pass by caked in mud. Low and behold, a mud pit! I made my wife turn around and bring me back home so I could get the VX. Even on my horrible tires it did great. You can't see it, but there was a fairly deep puddle in the center. Watch for the big splashes

Damn it; I kept waiting for you to "climb" that big hill from the bottom, but instead you drove all the way around the top and only came down it. Disappointing indeed.

I know I didn't want to risk going over the top with no visibility and there's a huge drop from the road, so I'd have to get up the mud, over the curb, and onto the road with slicks for tires.

Just saw your vid on facebook page...nice.

I love when 6-spoke rims spin at just the right speed to look like they're turning slowly backwards. You shoulda' taken the hill, but I'm no hypocrite, I haven't bogged the VX in a couple of years. It sounds like you have a very supportive crew; that's important. Thanks for the vids.

I love 6-spoke rims..........

Hmmm, I thought they were 5-spoke. Damn "New Math".

[workmeistr]

I can't count. 6 lugs, 5 spokes, that took some math.
