The  Ramblings  of  ADV  Riders

Boggy Brown Lava Lamp!

The Shinko 804 hit the murky water and time slowed to crawl.  As each second passed I watched the tiny brown droplets dancing through the air.  The initial speed of the 804 caused a small spread of spray but as our velocity reduced and the 805 rear tire entered the slop, large round globules followed.  As each molecule of water reached peak arc, time itself stopped… the globules seemed weightless, as if I was riding on the surface of the moon.  But earthly laws prevailed.  What goes up, must come down.  My trajectory through the brown mess pushed the water forward but as our momentums equalized… I think you get the point, I took a swamp water shower.
