Cool vid! Looks like some great ridin' out there, especially toward the end.
I see marker ribbons, do y'all race there as well?Cool vid! Looks like some great ridin' out there, especially toward the end.
We put on a enduro once a year. The riding is great as long as it not dry and dusty. We have 50+ miles of one way trail. Most of the trail is open like you see in the video but it does close up in parts.

Well sir, you certainly have my attention !!
Next time we get together ask me about the time I got my '79 CR125 hopelessly stuck on the mud flats on the N side of Lake Somerville!!That's what I thought too! Imagine my surprise when I came over that ledge and hit the gas, haha I mean geez we haven't had but what 1/2" of rain the past 3 months. The surface was all parched and cracked, couldn't believe it was only a 4" crust and a two feet sink hole of muck underneath. I didn't get muddy when I fell over and weight spread out, as the surface crust would hold. Only when you tried to stand and all weight to your boots, then you'd sink slowly same as quicksand.
I laid there laughing for a minute waiting for my son to arrive, then laughed for another minute with him before getting up.

Wound up being a 2 day ordeal getting it out!

Same for me...D606s and I love 'em.Dunlop D606 front and back. I sometimes use a Dunlop D756 on the front for better off road grip but it's not a D.O.T. approved tire.
That ain't no joke, I was about 1/8 mile behind playing catch-up, at least 65 mph and I saw M start duck walking!!I tried to made it look like I had slowed down so that Rman could see what was coming up.
Hit the brakes thinking "what's his problem?" Split second later I was duck walking too!! Take it easy on Lavaca County backroads, lots of surprises!
Same here, D606's but I find them a little noisier than the Parrelli MT21 @ my normal running pressure 16-18 psi. (although if I know I'm going in the rocks I will run them at about 25+ psi and then they are a little quieter when I hit the pavement sections).
I just bought a set of these:
Shinko 244

But I haven't mounted them yet so I'll hold my tongue for now until I have tried them. But I hear they are great for the price.

. I have been running the Pirelli Scorpion Pros and love the traction and handling off road. They handled the soft stuff, sand and rocks at Big Bend quite well.....Except for the large rock that destroyed the rear tire 20 miles from the pavement. But even then, I was able to ride the tire out of the desert with no problems. They are aggressive as heck, but i mainly do off road riding anyways. I'd say 75% off, 25 % on. They are a little on the expensive side. I also have a set of trackmasters at the house, but i have yet to ride on them. They came with the bike when i bought it.
606s are noisier? With my helmet on and with the sound of the motor and the pipe, I couldn't hear a 44 magnum fired 50 feet behind me...of course my hearing isn't what it used to be.Same here, D606's but I find them a little noisier than the Parrelli MT21 @ my normal running pressure 16-18 psi.
