Stripped all the street stuff off my Hodaka ACE 90 and added a racing piston and stinger exhaust. What a noisy bike, but a lot of fun off road. Even though I only weighed 163 pounds, I could pick it up.
Flying across a sandy field, it started to bog. Despite a lot of hurried downshifting, it came to a halt. The bike was axle deep in soggy clay. I dismounted and with a lot of pushing and throttle, I was able to move the bike back to firm ground. Then I had to follow the holes my feet had made to retrieve my running shoes.
