BF2S Forums Old friend's ( Goodbye Old Friend )

yeah, ATG has dealt with a lot of BS this year it seems.. Hopefully jebus pulls a few strings with his pops and this all works out.

Perhaps he died with it?

Shotgun his BF2s account.

perhaps he got it out and is cleaning it? I bet it'll take many hours to get it completely clean and running.. If its even salvagable /crosses fingers

Did that really take you 25 hours?

awesome... adventures rule lol

great job!

Well done old bean.

Don't know why you didn't drag it out in the first place!

So we arrived at the scene armed with two and one half sheets of plywood, rope, shovels, lots of alcohol and a side arm. There were some very valuable lessons learned here.
Me, I learned that despite the call of the wild I hear so strongly, it is wiser to just stay home or in areas where it is boring and there is little risk, than it is to charge off into the bush alone. Jonny and Al learned that it is not the destination that matters, it is the journey. Also that although all deserts may look the same from the road, but there are hidden gems if you look. Stan learned, well...I'll save that for last.





I had done most of the work when I was there alone, all we had to do is push the bike over into the shallow hole I had dug, push plywood underneath the wheels and tip it upright. It was onto the wood within five minutes. The mud was so thick it did not fill the hole I had dug from before. The wheels were stuck with goo, and I had to pull out many handfuls of glop from the spokes and chain for the wheels to roll. Then it was a simple matter of leap frogging plywood and pushing the bike over it until we reached solid ground, which was about four hundred feet.






The multi-national team. One New Zealander, one Mexican,  one Columbian and yours truly.



Stan has never camped before. I told him about me almost doing a face first into the fire when doing a cave man fire dance but he wouldn't listen.



We went back this morning to get the bike into the truck. Time is unkind to the railroad ties in a salt mine. I assume recyclers got the steel track, but to me there is something striking about the old rail line.



Some structures seem frozen in time.



While others are being consumed by time, wind and rain.

Poor Stan. He should have used this old one holer.





Stan learned a valuable lesson today;

You never, NEVER wait until you are on a dry lake bed to take a dump when you are with buddies who have cameras.

Especially that last pix.

Price. Less.

It wasn't me that banned you.

Your picture almost showed the guys ass flaps. It was a straight on view of his ass. Mine is a side view; no cheeks.

If you feel violated feel free to report my post, I swear I shall not feel any anger if you do.

Always love a good motorbike adventure, especially when it turns into such a good trip as what this rescue seems to be.

lol@Man wiping his arse.

Glad it all worked out. Looks like it was as much fun getting it out as putting it in there.
