[QUOTE="grw3am, post: 1057742, member: 66602"] [b]Look at the trees....[/b] I assume you mostly trail ride with the TT so here is a tip I learned from a vet a long time ago. On trails that have a wet, muddy chewed up centerline, quickly look for alternative lines. Depending on the area of the USA you live, look for pines, spruce, fir, etc (any tree that would make a Christmas tree or one with needles) and try to ride toward and if possible through that area until you are past the mud. Those type trees will not survive in low heavy soils but require a well drained sandier soil that will allow you to hook up and go. You likely will have to blaze a trail and it probably will be gnarly for a short distance but you will be amazed what a slightly lifted front end will mow down. That torquey TT230 will handle that nicely. You probably already have Bark Busters/hand guards which are necessary for this or the brush will engage the front brake and the clutch. I would suggest practicing this before really needing it. Be aggressive, lower your head and go. I agree with the person advising using a taller gear and I have had good success staying light on the seat and dabbing when necessary. [/QUOTE]
