Thread: Lending a Hand

The things you come across in the back country.

Coming back up a track we ran into some fullas trying to retrieve this.



They had ropes and pulleys across the track so we had a look at what they were up to and 5 hours later.

Had it from here to........




to here.....



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.

Did he say how it happened, I assume the track is just above somewhere

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.opppps

Front wheel hit a tree root which pulled the handle bars around and caused him to hit the gas and up and over she goes.

They are standing on the track.

Worse of all is he was only borrowing the bike

I'm with craigc. Time for an insurance job

@craigc that bike is cursed, I think I know who's it is lol. If it's who I think it is it had no insurance and the guy was told you break you pay.

Do you know the guy that tipped it down the gully or the owner?

Hamish and I know the owner. He's a very nice guy; leant it to Hamish once too.

Yeah know the owner. He is now aware it is out of its little pickle. Don't know the guy who borrowed it. Yes it did look better last time I saw it
