'Mud Trail'
There is something special in riding through woods, following narrow muddy patches of road. The calmness one feels being in the natural surroundings is mixed with the pleasure of hearing the engine and inhaling fresh air. This is where humans lived in the prehistoric days. The thick forests were providing shelter and food. I think this might be some deep coded reason why forests are so tempting to be in.
A decision is to be made. If I go right, my wheels will probably get stuck in the mud. 300kg motorcycle is not the easiest thing to turn around in that circumstances. It happened to me once some years ago. Apart from getting completely sweaty, one also gets to feel quite helpless in that situation. Not to mention the nightmarish washing of the bike...
Soon the road gets better, and then it worsens. Some stretches are completely covered in mud, while others are completely paved. I think the worst sections were washed down by rains and recently renewed, while the acceptable ones were left as they were. Cheap solution, indeed. Well, it is a hiker's trail, so no complaints are in place. :D
A family is walking in the woods. Hope the children don't get scared of me and the noise. :D
Riding on mud trails calls for a dirt bike. From time to time I see guys riding mountain trails. A very special group of people who love to feel the mud all over themselves and the bikes. The thrill must be immense. But, mud is a no go for a heavy cruiser like mine. That's a fact. The downfalls of remaining a gentleman... :D
I park and turn off the engine. The rhythmic engine low rev sound is replaced by silence. I walk through the fallen leaves. No thoughts at all. I am sensing the nature around me and feel great just for being here. There are moments when one feels happy just for being able to stretch legs and be at peace. This is one of them. So easy to see beauty and love in everything but sometimes so hard, too. The secret lies in accepting the perspectives, I believe.
Enjoy your day! :-)

I envy you at this point! Haha. Sometimes I get to think about it. The lack of technology and fanciness in the wilderness can be even more relaxing than being on a huge plane.
You are among many of the big time steemians who gives me real inspiration to be like you or if not that at least I can try to take original photos and decorate the same the way you do.
looks nice!
In short there is no replacement of NATURE. So whenever I catch your post I feel freshness and reality in your words. Being a sportsman you must have some sense of humor and I really enjoy your smarties in this regard like:

All the best, please keep sharing positivity and nature with your Heavy Bike @velimir.
I can feel you @velimir! Thanks for sharing your adventures. I hope I can find the time to hike again on beach rocks or on the hills.
Great time you had there. Those woods trails can provide some of the most scenic and adventurous riding, i hope it did for you.
The forests are sure tempting. Despite all the bugs and tripping hazards and briar patches (and poison ivy!), the woods tend to be a peaceful place. I might spend eight hours without seeing another person. Away from the rush and noise of modern life. Time passes more slowly. Twilight seems to last longer. The tranquility of the deep woods, with the sigh of wind through the treetops, is something to witness.
Thanks for sharing @velimir

Adrian,

Nothing like a bike ride, you just don’t know they relaxation and tranquility one gets from rising unless you have actually ride a bike.
You post some great locations
Nice post
... This is where humans lived in the prehistoric days. The thick forests were providing food and shelter.. Living in the forest comes with challenges that only those who have the gut could dare (live free or die). To those who could dare, it comes with many advantages as well - fresh air, nature, peaceful existence, pollution free environment... So for some of us that wouldn't dare to live there.. A once in a while visit would be nice.. Just like you did. This must be a nice experience for you.
wow great photography👌👌👌i like your post in everytime.please dear carry on your update.
thanks a lot...
Kindly visit my blog.
Great adventure. I am really enjoying this blog , though i discovered it recently. Support me as i am new on steemit : upvote this post, upvote my comment too. Thanks
You are very adventurous, riding the bike in this terrain takes courage and also makes you feel the fresh breeze of nature and you appreciate the aesthetics of nature. Your tour is truly awesome. Ride on!
Some years I rode only in the dirt. I absolutely loved the light bike and thrashing. It gave me some skills on the road that I couldn't have gotten any other way.
At age 50 I gave up on the dirt. The falling down didn't bother me, it got to be hard to get up :) But I have usually had a 'second bike'. A KLR for some time and now a Suzuki VStrom. Great on dirt roads and fire lanes. I just love back country camping and exploring.
I love that you take your bike off the common road. It's where life is lived, on the edge of things.
Thanks Vilimir. Another terrific post that I deeply enjoy.
I love to ride my passion
gotta love that chrome
I agree with the idea that visiting the forest calms and refreshes the brain. Clean air has a beneficial effect on our body. In the forest, you can be alone with yourself and your thoughts. But the best thing at such moments is to disconnect the thoughts and the beholders of beauty around oneself.
Each person sees the world around him, so there are so many conflicting views on events and things around.
Have a good day:)
no offense but The logo that u have chosen is not that much attractive.
Roar that engine next to them 😈😈 JK, don't do it, the parents might get angry
很不错的样子
I love your way of photography! Nicley done my friend.
Bad broken roads makes our travel very painful.
But still you enjoyed this day.
Keep traveling and keep posting. Good luck
I love it, wish i cuold be there!
I love to see the forest in your post because the forest in my place almost no longer exists. Although we know generally as the lungs of the world, economic resources, flora and fauna habitats, disaster controllers, water reservoirs, and to Reduce pollution for air pollution.Because of its purpose for the life adadidalamnya, it is fitting for us to maintain and preserve Forest.
Driving through the woods is one of the greatest experiences I ever had with a bike. But not when conditions are like that. What would you do if you had stuck there in the mud?
I like the way you have shared your experience in the woods with us, your storytelling is spot on and the pictures make the whole tale to come alive!
i like bike traveling , this traveling so beautiful ,,, thanks for sharing
