S never did take a good photo of the caked-up mud on his bike, and the hotel photo doesn't include what the bathtub looked like, heh. I learned, after riding for 11 hours in the rain in Texas, that fenders can save a LOT of wear-and-tear on the bike, in addition to keeping me much cleaner!

Although, all that said and done, running through mud in the rain is much more dirty. :^)
