I think its a Carl thing, just ban all Carls and you should be ok.

 

[Burnham]

There's a thought .

 

[sotc]

C'mon now, elk do that also

 

[Burnham]

Elk ride ATVs in mud bogs?? The things I learn here...

 

[arborworks1]

Haha. Willie must be into the good stash when he is hunting!!

 

[Paul B]

Elks rut, or do they make ruts?

 

[sotc]

Haha! They wallow

 

[sotc]

Should be outlawed! It's just not natural!

[MasterBlaster]

You have way more fum than me, my friend. Enjoy!

 

[SkwerI]

Carl, you need a jet ski for those routes.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I never knew they could go into the water so deeply. Amazing!

 

[Cobleskill]

The axle housings must have a check valve on the vent tube to keep water out.

 

[sotc]

Nuts

 

[lumberjack]

It was massively fun, my first time riding with those folks (all from my town). The camera guy, the country sounding girl, the guy I jumped in to help, and one other dude all graduated from high school together. There were near 30 folks in our group I'd say, 550+ acres in that riding park.

Actually they have bellows, a closed vent system.

 

[Greenhorn]

Thats insane, so what component(s) fail or will fail after water of that depth? My guess would be electronics/ignition, but it would take awhile. Used to have a old school kawi 160 3-wheeler that would just start floating at a certain depth, that was fun. I babied my honda rincon, but my buddies would do similar stuff to that.

 

[lumberjack]

Any time I take a new electrical connector off, it gets loaded with dielectric before going back on. All the electronic boxes are water proof already. The most affected thing I've noticed from going in water is the muffler's packing which is a wear item anyways.

 

[tntree]

Carl you nut wouldn't a boat be more efficient?

Nice of you not to spray that chick when you pulled them out

 

[arborworks1]

Are the brakes drum or disc? The hondas we used to ride with would trap water in the sealed drums and ruin things quick. My disc pads just wore down from all the mud and grit getting jammed in.

That video brings back some good memories!!

 

[lumberjack]

It's got inboard mounted discs front and back, good times for sure!

You can see the rear rotor in the last picture I've posted.

 

[arborworks1]

I see it now. Did you silicone the pelican case for the tuner?

 

[lumberjack]

Nope, although that was my original plan. I popped the back cover off the tuner to see what kinda protection it had against water. The whole circuit board is encased in epoxy, so I cut a tight fitting hole for the cord to come out under the cases latch and thus far it's working well.
