Pass on the Right in a Ditch?
#11
I had a KDX200 that was converted to be street legal in the early 90's and used to do that all the time. Like has been said though, gotta be careful cause there is some crazy chit in ditches, especially if they've recently done road work.

So I commute the rural roads to work everyday and this time of year you get the farm equipment going 10MPH. I am in my cage looking for a good time to pass when some a hole passes me and the tractor on a blind corner, but the cool thing was a dirt bike rider comes up on my right on the dirt median then takes his bike into the ditch and cruise on by at about 30MPH. The ditch was pretty deep and completely over grown with grass. Looked like a fun bike to have.

Never a ditch but I did come up behind one of those crop sprayers with the really tall skinny tires going 10 MPH, lots of oncoming traffic so I just ducked down and went underneath him between the tires, looked in my mirror as I accelerated away and the driver had a pretty supprised expression on his face.
Wish I had a picture of that one.

I have this buddy who was on a six bike group ride. The first bike missed the curve going into it too hot and the other five followed him. They were doubled up riding, loaded bikes, cutting weeds next to a ****** wire fence. Depending on who you ask you get different speeds. All of them got back up on the road , without anyone going down. For them to make that maneuver and recover from a bad mistake is wild in my opinion. Another example of the bikes doing things we never thought possible. They were telling me about in town and it was an animated conversation. I know the curve--they know the curve. It is a banked curve with loose gravel under the grass. They went across the oncoming lane and went into the ditch on the high side. I asked my buddy how he held it together because this is a hairy curve,him and his wife are full growed. His answer in front of her and me was that she must have moved her big *** the right way for once. I was surprised and laughing at his remark but she came back with a smart remark I can't put here.
