    Yes, but slowly. So they dont fling the mud around and it doesn't jam up under the guard.

    A trials tyre also has a lot of flex and will squeeze the mud out.A correctly fitted trials guard will also be closer to the tyre at the bottom so it slices the mud off,doesn't pack it into the guard.The only mud that will stop a trials bike wheel from turning is wet leaf litter,it just packs in everywhere.

    I've wanted an Indian Enfield for decades (so has my wife) ,you could have them lined up...one for every occasion.

    I reckon that stinky blue mud that smells like the bottom of a sewer would clog it up. Pine needles mixed with sticky clay is bad , too.

    Yes it'd be nice to have a bike for every occasion.

    I'm surprised there isn't a Palmerston North agent yet. Mind you I'm enjoying scooting about on the Gb400. Saw a nice GB500 last week that had been well looked after in Masterton. The salesman comes up to me a says" Its original and hasn't been restored". Made me smile.
