    Nice Dakar Vid showing 30 years of crashes

    Some cars, but mostly bike crashes... Lots of 'em...



    I've spotted a few vintage @'s in there, very cool stuff!



    JB
    '07 KTM 990 Adventure (Crash Bars, Scottoilter, 16t front sprocket, Throttle Cam. Colour: Black & Grey)
    '93 DR800 BIG (Fully farkled!)

    Gone but not forgotten:
    '04 Tiger (MRA-Vario screen, Crash bars, K&N Airfilter, dual headlamp upgrade. Colour: orange, 'cause I'm Dutch, innit!)
    '93 ZZR600

    I'm on the Safe House List! Garage and minor toolkit available...

    think some of them bike riders were part time "Buckinbronco" Riders on the quiet- you just hang on in their sonny and ride the beast

    Ouch indeed!

    Mind you, the hand-stand at 3:46 was seriously impressive - I just hope it didn't hurt too much.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    My favourite is the guy at 0.41, keeping it together and casually headbutting the tree out the way... AND STAYING ON!

    The deep sand is really amazing, it just seems to swallow the bikes without any warning...

    Cool and painful, The one at 5 mins 11 secs was almost like mine.
    Stop and fall off.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
