having fun on a cross-bike

this summer it was the first time in my life I actually got on a motor bike, I never had the urge to ride these things, apart from the occasional scooter, but this was the real deal, switching gears with your left foot, and going trough muddy pools and dirt lanes..... I ended up soaking wet and covered in mud when I wanted to cross the final pool of water that was lying in front of me.... as I choose the wrong pool of muddy water (there was one on the left and one on the right) the one I had chosen was a little tiny bit tooo deep for me... should have stayed on the left side, now I was mudman with even mud in my ears ..... we had fun though ..... ah, be warned: the exhaust can get hot :)
