wet ice on wet ice......I beg to differ.
I have never been on anything as greasy as those hills.
Hell, oil on a road race track has better traction!!
. . .not that muddy, but really damn slippery!
But dang I had fun! This ride will be a blast with drier weather.
Great properties to ride on, thanks to all the land owners!

This was only my seventh organized dual sport event, but by far my favorite.
Hey- many thanks to the boys who helped push my butt up the sweet quarter mile mud slide. I wanted to thank you again in person at dinner, but because I did a little too much pre-Bucky celebrating on Friday night, I never made it back to the VFW after the ride for the post-Bucky celebration. Thanks again though!

Lots of fun on the greasy hills. I was going to give Matt's bike a shot up this hill that I was at the top of, ready for pictures, and promptly crashed it with the gobbed-up mud on the tire. Anyways, nice finish to the hill with a stander:
Spin to win!
Lots of this on the hill. Actually watched about 8 bikes take the hill. 2 made it all the way up. The difference between the other 6 (and me) was how far they made it up before having to do The Walk.
madwrench said:BTW, re: the pics on of the old Chevy pickup. That truck belongs to Speedy Pete (who did the MC duties after dinner). Someone asked me about the truck, and I told them it was Speedy's, and his wife Rachel, who happened to be standing nearby said, "WHAT?!"
Oops.
It rained and rained the week before the Bucky, one of the club members that put it on told me that if he could have called it off on Friday he would have. Too many things had already been put in motion though, so on it went. I think some of the club members were dissapointed because they had to cut some of the off road sections out, and the rest of the off road sections were really muddy in spots. They knew what a great trail they had before all the rain , and I think it was disappointing to present a trail that was only a part of what they had put together. To me it was awesome the way it was ! I can only imagine what it must have been like before it was shortened, and before some of it got so muddy. BTW the shortened version was still 90 miles long, and I thought some of the mud was fun. The route consisted of woods sections linked together by twisty Wisconsin backroads. Gotta say, some of those twisty backroads were almost as fun as riding in the woods. A big thank you goes out to the land owners who graciously allowed us to ride their land, and the folks at the Madison Motorcycle Club who worked so hard to put the ride on. All the money made from the Bucky was donated to the American Legion In Cross Plains Wi, (where the event was held Chilly wet morning.
Sound check station. Muddy.
