Title: Went for a blat yesterday - Putty Rd - 4 Left 3 came back Post by: MonsterDorf on November 30, 2008, 09:49:19 PM Not as bad as it sounds. One of the lads speared off into the scrub some 20Km south of Half Way House.
Did 200m or so parallel to the road and then flipped the bike in a wombat hole and felled a couple of small trees. Front of the bike looks pretty ordinary, rider is OK except for a bruised shoulder & ego. We dinked him up to half way and headed back for a van to pick up the bits :( On a positive note, the milk shake at the 1/2 way was nice :) Title: Re: Went for a blat yesterday - Putty Rd - 4 Left 3 came back Post by: sydmonster on November 30, 2008, 10:47:29 PM [thumbsup] As long as owner is here still to tell story... - Chris
ps, be carefull out there guys, riding within your limits... and any time wombat and a vehicle are involved its never great. :P Title: Re: Went for a blat yesterday - Putty Rd - 4 Left 3 came back Post by: craigo on November 30, 2008, 10:50:13 PM Glad to hear your mate was alright. Managing to run parallel offroad on Putty for 200m could have turned out a whole lot worse in the scheme of things.

I have a bit of a new sense of mortality following my recent spat with a car. When its all rider error that make it sound even worse! Pleased to here he's OK though |
