After only riding street bikes all my life, I am still learning about the joys of riding in the mud and dirt.  Damn, the front sprocket area can fill up fast, looks like an archaeological dig in here.  Lesson learned! ?

Not recently but about two years ago. Stuck fast in wet clay. Couldn’t budge so had to get a local farmer to dig and pull me out with his tractor. He thought it was funny. ????

And just to add to the frustration you’re tantalising close to firmer ground!

I hit the soggy patch at about 20mph so I nearly went over the bars in a Superman style ???

20mph?! Id say you were lucky not to, would have been a soft landing though ?

I know I was so lucky! ?. It was the only soggy patch we’d come across the whole day and it looked nice and crusty as I approached it. Served me right for cutting a corner. My mate on his DRZ just stopped in time and nearly fell off laughing. ?

If someone fancies cleaning the bike and my gear afterwards it could be arranged Pete ?

Ok, something slightly different here.  These are some dirty gentlemen who have been getting down and dirty during the day but have had a good wash and brush-up for a night on the lash in a small town in the Alps.

Try not to get all funny ladies...............

I took this pic in a posh hotel loo a couple of years ago cos even the whites of my eyes were muddy, I couldn’t open my eyes very well 😂

I had to leave a decent tip in the room for the poor staff that were going to have to deal with the mountain of mud that fell of this stuff 😬 😆

It had some sort of crystal/mineral in it that glinted in sunlight, Im still finding bits of it now, I can confirm it doesn’t very taste nice, not eating mud is the right move.

That's a cracking photo @Slowlycatchymonkey, I bet every time you see that it makes you chuckle 👍

Memories are made of stuff like that .

That was the end of 17 tricky hours on the bike, I was thrilled to be in one piece, the bike wasnt so lucky 😂

You’re damn right thats what the good memories are made of 😊

I can remember when we did a rally in the Spanish Pyrenees, they put us in a really posh hotel and after a day on the trails we walked in soaked to the skin and covered in crap.  They didn't bat an eyelid in the hotel, lovely people and made our stay so nice even though we were scared to touch anything :classic_laugh:

This is the hotel.............   https://riberies.cat/galeria-fotos
