Where we went we didn't need roads

[Whealie]

Only for the hardy this one. The only editing I have done is to remove all the road riding. I did not video the final trail as by that time my nerves were nearly as shot as my bike and I must have forgotten to switch on the vid.

Yet still this is almost an hour long (did we really only spend an hour off-road?). (edited and shortened version posted later - page two)

It was recorded using the Sanyo Xacti mentioned in the product review section. What apiece of kit, It was still working when I hit the hedge, the water and when I went upside down on the rocks.

I will further edit it and add in some Andy's pics for the DVD version, but this is a quick edit as I am busy with work.

Good choice for a thread title... "Where we went we didn't need roads"


This is mainly because, we DID need recovery vehicles and a Chinoook to extract Kamikaze Whealie's bike from all manner of places you'd have trouble parking a bike, even if you wanted to!!

I think I was actually the first person to "Bin It" that day, and there were many others (including Whealie) that ended greasy side up, but I have to say, I have never laughed so much, at the sound of scraping frames and crunching plastics in all my life!! A hilarious and most excellent day!

There was so much rain the "ROADS" were like rivers and the soil on the surfaces proved the go anywhere part of the bikes.
