I dunno who took those. But it was the first 89 KX500 out of a box back in the day, and I had a lot of success on that beast both off and on road.

Probably because your arse cheeks had a firm grip on the seat Oscar! I know mine would've.

Actually, the pucker factor kicked in when I hit the stream ford just around the corner, having managed to slow down to a "mere" hundred or so...it took me the rest of the day to relax my sphincter.

Yeah I bet. I would've had to have gone back to wash mine in the creek.

Kev Turley (you may remember that name from back in the day in Wgn) got a pic, I'll dig it out. When I got home I had a flat spot on my front rim...

I know the ford.... Not quite as spectacular as yours Oscar, but here's topo, and he was probly standing up, or leaning back, knowing him

I ride a Husky TE450, which I use for trail and lite adventure rides.

I mix standing a sitting depending on the terrain I'm riding. General gravel and smooth single track is sitting, forward on the seat elbows almost 90 degrees. (Remembering on modern enduro bikes you can get well forward on the seat allowing you to get your weight nice and neutral for controlled power sliding, I like sliding!).

When I sitting I'm always ready to stand up very quickly for any adverse terrain (ruts, deeper gravel, whoops, mud holes, can't see track etc) then back on the seat.

I generally sit on steep ascents and stand on descents.
