    I haven't been back to the dead quad yet,going to have a yarn to my neighbour who is a senior sargeant of the law and will see what he says. Never touched it just took the pic and kept walking.Don't even know if the wheels would be any good.

    What no one knows is that it is actually @Dundees trusty steed that is buried under that rubble from his post.

    He is too shy to come forward with the true story! But I hear tell that it happened like this.....

    Dundee and is mighty dog Bo where out hunting the pack of killer hares! He managed to manoeuvre his trusty steed and Bo into an almost perfect snipers nest.

    The only disadvantage was a steep bank of two feet dropping away at his rear. Seeing the pack he ranged them at over a 190 yards and was ready to engage them and take them unaware's!

    But his down fall was the Watties sauce that he had been consuming bring forth a mighty windy fart!

    The pack of killer hares heard said fart and spied our valiant bushman knight on his trust steed with his faithful hound, they charged towards him with murder in there eyes!

    Dundee engaged them at range with his Excalibur the awesome P14 taking them on like the Russian gunners taking out the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava!

    But so swift did this killer pack of Hares advice that our bushman knight could not reload fast enough.

    Needing to find higher ground so that he could keep his head above the ears of the killer Hares (As you well know these ears are very sharp and can take out a Goodman's eye) he clambered up onto the back of the quad bike swing his Excalibur for all he was wroth and extinguishing the swarming pack of killer Hares!

    But Low he had not realised it was a ruses and that he was being flanked!!!

    But his mighty dog Bo came to the rescue with a dive of NOOOO (please que music from the movie "Body Guard"! Thank you!)

    Bo's mighty dive cleared the flanking killer hare but the collision also caused the quid bike to shift... it slide down the hill creating a huge avalanche (Two feet high some say) Our valiant Bushman scoping up mighty Bo and with Excalibur akaP14 in his other hand he dived clear!

    Now all that is left of the huge battle of the killer Hares and the bushman is the memorial of the two wheels of his trusty steed sticking up proudly out of the rubble that has buried the pack of killer Hares!

    In Years to come passes by will look in wonder and awe at this monument! Like Stonehenge a visitors centre will be built and the sight will be fenced off to stop scavengers and salvage dogs from desecrating this monument to feats of awe!

    The disbelievers will cry folly we want to excavate the sight so that we can prove their was said battle!

    But with the huge fees from the visitors centre no one dear!

    There is a clue though that only the swift of eye will know that this ever took place....and no its not that you can understand the mumblings of the mighty Bo dog! ptsd poor sole

    It is if you look very closely at Excalibur you will see a hairline crack caused by the final killing blows.

    @Dundee What every one wants to know is are you going to parade the victory kilt of hare scalps at the Toby shoot

    ps only thought the story was as long as the range of the mighty p14 just showing the boys how to truly hijack a thread
