    And proves what we all know up here...

    Americans still think God exists. :pope

    Heheh, sorry. But Americans do believe in the fire and brimstone thing more than Canadians. I've read Americans are more than twice as likely than Canadians to believe that the events in the book of Revelations will actually occur, etc. Nothing at all wrong with that belief, but it's an interesting stat, considering how otherwise similar our cultures might appear. Just making neutral observation from up north here... :wink:

    Holy crap, was that offtopic. My bad.

    Was this crossing as scary as it looks? I get a picture in my head of my XR with the front wheel wedged between two logs, and of myself lying in a pile 6ft. in front of the bike.

    That is a great, great shot. I've tried to use it before but couldn't get it clear enough when it was bigger. Maybe I'm too picky about that.

    The logs on the bridge are pretty big, maybe 4-5ft around. The log I am on is the center of the bridge and really the only one that is good to ride on. I was only going 2-4 mph. The entry and exit was smooth dirt right to the top of the log, only a couple inch step for the entry.

    The guy that took the picture was on a KTM640.:freaky:freaky

    If it's a fake, it's dead-representative of that storm, though! :dog



    (Though I guess I'm not sure what precedent that would set for FP pics.?.)

    I agree 100% on both points. It's a fun photo from a great thread (although it's not viewable currently there). I doctor up photos constantly to make them a more accurate representation.

    I just wanted to give Baldy a heads up, but he really doesn't need my help in this area. I feel like an ass for even pointing it out and I apologize to Bigbird.
