Last Friday me and my son Wiley and a couple of friends went out for a ride to enjoy the 70 plus degree day. Others might have been shopping but we were riding. My son Wiley normally rides a Honda Recon but this particular day I decided to let him try my 2014 Grizz. Needless to say that was a mistake. He's claimed it for his own now! LOL! He's a good sized kid for his age and is a good rider. We covered almost 50 miles and he didn't struggle in the least doing all the same stuff us big guys rode. He did learn valuable lesson about mud riding. Our group stopped by the same mud hole that claimed rwreuter's Grizz on our last ride down there. Wiley couldn't contain himself. He had to ride through all that mud. The kid never slowed down enough to get stuck and boy did he love ripping it in the mud. I don't think in the 5000+ miles I've put on that Grizz did it get so muddy. In fact sitting on the sidelines watching him ride through the mud I couldn't help but think about Wgc and his love of mud, watching Wiley and my buddy Nick would have given Wgc bad dreams! LOL!....Anyway on the way home all Wiley could talk about was the fun day of riding he had on the trails and in the mud. We didn't get home until late that evening, so I didn't unload the machines until the next day. This is where Wiley learned a valuable lesson......Ole dad gave Wiley the opportunity to wash all the mud off that Grizz. I bet in total it was 4 hrs of cleaning. The mud had dried and was almost like concrete and packed everywhere. Needless to say he's rethinking how much mud he goes through the next time we ride, but he still wants to ride the Grizz! Here's a few pics.
