Gawd that reminded me of that scene in The Neverending Story.

Sorry for your loss. Hope all turns out well and you get your bike back/get a kickass new one at the Insurance company's expense and defeat the Nothing.

heh, the pictures don't tell the full story.

Imagine being alone. Imagine sinking a foot deep when you pick that bitch up. Imagine the bike falling on you, as you are now almost knee deep. Imagine pulling a foot out of the glop and leaving the boot. Imagine 95 degree heat and soil too unstable to walk. A bike too caked in shit to push even if it was on solid ground.
Leaving it wasn't easy, but I'm not going to die for it ffs.

ATG he's AU's resident troll. It's just what he does.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

And, he is poking a grumpy mod who's half drunk and generally annoyed.

But, since you guys explained it, I'll live with it.

Well shit, now he's got me thinking this may be some sort of karmic retribution; I mean, what if I ban the twat and because of that my claim gets rejected?

I pardon him.

Also, the mud was very caustic, my forearms are rashy where I got muddy.
A few days in that swamp and the Green Stallion will be dead anyway.
Going for total loss on my insurance claim. Oh God, please let it be covered.

@vilham, if a bike + rider is heavy enough, no way you'd risk a truck.

ATG you could do it with planks and all that you know, if you know the extent of the mudflat
good point but you can see the edges of the river bed quite clearly on the pic.

That is a berm. On the other side of that berm I actually think you could drown. I think a jeep could safely get about 300' feet away. The guys who have pulled vehicles out of the muck tell me yanking it out will total it if the mud doesn't. Force of pull on the frame, something like that.

surely you could rig a multi point around the chassis to lessen the load on the bike?

The tow guys are surly and slap a steel cable around the closet point, laughing under their breath and secretly calling the hapless strand-ee a dumb fuck.
I have to use insurance covered people.

Maybe it was karma, hence the Zen monk you encountered. I blame the monk.

Bad luck though, hopefully your insurance covers it all.

More pictures of lovely downtown Saltdale.

If you zoom in on Saltdale you can see two train cars.

They are storage cars full of ammonium nitrate for the local mines that are still active. Yes, high explosives. lol.
