Took the trike down to the mudhole and decided to let her play for a bit. Here is the result. I think now would be a good time to try out that water/wisk washing combo:lol:

[userj8670]

[gizmo_22]

[225DX DUDE]

Wheres the action shots? Looks like you had a good time. Have fun cleanin it...

[oscarmayer]

[userj8670]

Oh i did have fun cleaning it. I pulled it into the wash rack, (where we wash the horses and give them baths) and got out the hose, pressure washer and tooth brush lol. Sucks cleaning but its worth it.

I totally know what you mean. The trike was actually worse but when you ride though the tall grass it helps clean the mudd off to an extent. I think if i came home a walking mud man again my girl might shoot my trike with her 12gauge :lol:

Later,

does it count as riding without a helmet if you aren't going more than a half a mile an hour?

:lol:

That dont look awfully good for the bike :lol:

[Taiser]

What bike is that in the drink, looks like a honda...200x? or is it the same bike that was all dirty in the above picture? Come on, let's hear the story on this one! :D

[Dirtcrasher]

The front tire wasn't spiked and I just went right in the drink....

It's my 86 350X, not the 86 200X thats muddy above. Took about 20 minutes to get it out, towed it back and began flushing the motor. Had it up and running well about 2 hours later. I never even changed the gas, we figured not much water got in there because it's basically air tight. It didn't tick, but the water trapped in the 450R silencer looked like a steam engine :lol:

Got home and took it all apart to grease everything. The headset bearings were rusty so I changed them and also rebuilt the forks with the 84 250R damper rods and new OEM boots while I was at it....

[tanks350x]

:eek: Thats a hell of a way to wash it off DC,, my question is,, did you go swimming along with it? never heard that yet???????

[userj8670]

LMAO DC! Thats more like clay-type mud. I wish i had some of that around here. Thats the stuff that will just cake up like no tomorow.

Been there done that, was still turning the oil milky many oil changes later when it was sold.

[userj8670]

ya i did that. I sunk mine reaaaaaaally bad. Did about 6 oil changes and also flushed the case with Kerosene and that helped alot.
