Ha!! I laugh every time I see that.
We'll be there Saturday!
Want me to show you where your gearshift lever is afore we go down there, ski? I think 4th is a bit tall...........
Say! What's with that front end waggin' stuff? Is that for luck or sumthin'?
Isn't there another vid with the second try being worse'n the first?
...yeah...I crack myself up.

Well, that video clearly demonstrates the advantage of an auto clutched bike. As you can see, a fall on a hill and the bike did not stall. I merely picked it up, you can still hear it running, and started to maneuver so I could throw a leg back over it and ride away.
Any other dirt bike would have stalled and the rider have to try and kick start the bike on the hill.
BTW, come one, come all and observe how the great Carvr and Wibby NEVER crash, stall, fumble, or falter. I have photos of those two not crashing as well. Can't find 'em right now, the ones of them NOT crashing, but I have them, believe me!

9 times out of 10 my bike does not stall when I bite it.... I can usually grab the clutch, pick it and keep going....
I wouldn't mind trying an autoclutch but I really don't think it would make me switch.
I hear Wibby and CC never crash.... that's why I want to come for a visit to see for myself!

I never crash.
I fall over.
I wreck.
I high side.
I low side.
I biff it.
I loop it.
I launch it into the weeds.
I fall down.
Hell...I even fall up.
...but I never crash.
The KX does keep running real well, for sure. My bike will keep running after I never crash...but it's generally in gear, rear wheel spinning, and as soon as I set it upright..it quits.
I can't count the times I would have hated having an autoclutch. I can stall on a hill and because it's still in gear I don't immediately start rolling backwards. And...I can pick the bike UP..and compression keeps it from taking off down the hill. Yeah...a hand operated rear brake would help that..but that does require a hand on the bars that I might not have available.
...the hand...not the bars........

I am home. The trip was great! Well, for me anyway. No one got lost, well, not really lost. We didn't need to call search and rescue. No one got hurt, well, not really hurt. We didn't need life flight. No one crashed, well, we all crashed. Yes. Even carvr. Same spot I did last year. Lots of photos and lots of videos. Some should win awards for the oooooooo!!!! sounds they will generate from viewers.
Thanks Brad for being such a great host! Thanks Doug for all the great entertainment! Ha!

I never tried out the KDX255
But I did ride this BEAST!
Holy Smokes! What a ride!
Felt as light and nimble as a much smaller machine!
Amazing suspension
And controllable power, unreal bike!

What's the topic of this thread? I can't find 'Trask' on the SOJ map.
Are you trying to catch that projectile with a fork?? Which direction is it goin'? yeechh!

O.K. new thread started for the SOJ ride so we can tell a story and post our photos. You can just keep posting yours here Wib!
BTW, I prefer my oysters in the shell w/garlic salt, a little butter and BBQ sauce on the grill. Leave them on long enough that they pop open.
Cheers!!
