Unfortunately those racing slicks (actually near new tyres) are clawing at thin air now :D
Our other tractor, 4wd 80hp, wouldn't budge it last night. Will have to track the digger back out from the back of the farm and pull it out with that.

That reminds me of my mate on his Dog Rooter 400, and after I passed him thru a bog on my KTM 450. Haha

I was always that guy when riding with my mates. They could ride better than I could walk. Had a chain come off in a big mud hole once cause I suck, and tried to run it in the wrong gear. 3 mates backed their bikes up to me in order to help, or so I thought.........I looked worse than the poor bugger in the above pic:D

Just been having a dung out and came across some old photo's of mine. Here's one going back to Dec 1981.
The Seismic survey ship I was working on hit an uncharted reef at 6 knots, water depth by memory went from 600 fathoms to nought in less than 100 meters. We were working in North East Sulawesi. Middle of nowhere.Attachment 24405
Getting off was another story
That's a bugger moment.

Not quite an Ooops moment but scary when a submarine surfaces next to us and two bods on top of the coning tower get on a loud hailer and tell you to bugger off.
Early 80's in Indonesia.

Coming thick and fast, another grounding, this time on another ship in Indonesia.
MV Western Islander, 115 feet long and 35 of us crewed her for 2 months at a time, a good little tub. Shit we went to some places on her that tourists would never get to. It was a shallow water seismic survey vessel fitted with aqua pulse guns, I was a Gun mechanic on her of and on for a couple of years. It's hull bottom was 11/2 inch plate, engin room had 3 x v8 supercharged and turbocharged gm's absolutley screaming there nuts off. Anyway we ran aground often.

Had a close one on the forklift yesterday. I was taking a stack of ten or so old pallets to a fire in the neighbours yard, approaching the fire I figured Ill just drive right up, plonk them on top (it was a pile of hot coals at this stage) biff it in reverse and jitz it outta there. All went perfectly to plan until I gave the her too much herbs on the gravel yard and fuckin near got stuck. Luckily pulsing the gas pedal got a bit of a rock going an steamed us out just in time to watch the flames lick up the pallets:x_x:
