And then up onto the track
Sorry about sideways pics.
Needless to say they were happy we lent them a hand.
Good shit man
Geez that bike is a bit of a mess! Good one for helping out
why did they bother? Looks f*cked to me?
Although good to get the oil/petrol out of the environment.
So was the guy riding it from what he was telling us. He is the one on the left in the last pic. He got a chopper ride out for his trouble with a few broken bones, the quad had been down there for 4 months.Quote:

The frame is still alright, most of it is just bent plastic and bull bars. and now he needs another front wheel as the one in the pics decided to roll all the way down into the gorge.oppppsQuote:

Worse of all is he was only borrowing the bike:burnt:
I'm with craigc. Time for an insurance job
