Dave , there's always a bridge near-by . I don't thing YouzGuyz would be ridding a ROCKET through a slime-creek either , I don't think I would either . Wink

But I had to ask .

Springman's brother in law rides a Harley dresser so we'll be a well behaved bunch maybe ? Grin

Heck ! Ridding double and creek crossing never has been a good idea

I did find a vidio of a Harley Dresser crossing a creek !

The Rocket will only put in a "cameo" appearance on one of the rides. Thumper will be the ride "du jour". An appearance by Mad Hamish will probably happen as well.

I am still getting used to the Rocket.. and it is just hard to switch back and forth between the two bikes.
BUT, I figure some of you may want to at least see it.

NONE of the rides will have PLANNED water crossings that do not offer an alternate "dry" route.
You can't blame me for water that I didn't know was there!
With that said, and not to tell you how to suck eggs, but.. tips for going through a water crossing:
1. Do not brake
2. Do not steer .. unless the road doesn't go straight..
3. Have enough speed up to make it across without a lot of throttle (you ain't gonna "coast", but you don't want to have to gun it)
4. STAY IN THE TIRE TRACKS!!!!! No matter how good the middle looks or how crappy the tire tracks look.

"Slime Bridge" will just be avoided. It has a reputation.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

No , I don't want to ride it , but I want to see what it runs like.. But not from behind it directly (just in case the pavement breaks loose under it) !
