Why I hate sand

Nial,
Any chance you know a guy names Archie Paultranari? Used to ride enduros down there in the pine barrens alot. He has a shop that relined brake shoes for a long time. Rode KTMs I think.
 
Get well soon Drew.
Two things I know of if you ride em long enough they will hurt ya sooner or later .... Horses and Motorcycles!
I gave em both up some years back ...AND yep ... i`v even had my ATV try and get me, it dumped me on the ground then commenced to get atop of me and pin me there helpless! Luckily no damage to myself other than my ego which has been brutalized before by both .... horses and yep ... motorcycles.

I saw @ WL.....

Moody Blues
Don Henley
Beach Boys
John Denver
various chamber music groups

If you've ever been to the actual Waterloo Village, there's a curved, brick walkway about 1/4 long and about 10' wide. I built that.
 
As bad as sand is, sugar sand has to be the worse. Not sure I've ever gotten a big street bike through a goodly patch of that stuff, no matter how fast I hit it.

I pretty much finally gave up trying after thoroughly embarassing myself practicing in a patch of it. Hit it again, the bike promptly went into the death wobbles, front end sunk right in and the bike and I flipped right over the handlebars. Wouldn't have been so bad, except there was a good ole boy on that road who watched it. Once he knew I was ok he was rather fascinated by my notion of learning to drive through the stuff on a bike like that.

That was what I hit, including the death wobbles. Nasty stuff.
