Here's brother Phil, or Punksatony Phil.

Having divested himself of his Aprillia Mille when he took a contract in the Congo, he's just bought himsef a little ped to mess about on in the Congo. New to dirt, something subtle was needed - A HONDA CRF450! The pics below show his second outing as he gets to grips with the wodow-maker.

His name is Arrie...Stofstreep might remember.

(pity about the tree that was in the way)

My collection:
Unfortunately most of the falls had no camera around...

The first fall... Near waterval boven, had the bike for a month, had the learners for a month, someone went and put mud in the road

Proud GS owner

Earlier this year, at a quarry somewhere

Later this year, at a quarry somewhere else

And finally, our bike as it looked yesterday

Hopefully many more dusty meals to come!!

I have a nice video of the first one, just really big and don't know how to shrink and post it

Noble Steed, you must, (ike in the ad on TV), carry a bucket of sand in your left hand while riding, as I see that GS has a tendency to fall to the RIGHT!

Boertjie · « **Reply #24 on:** August 18, 2007, 05:01:47 pm »

Noble Steed, just check whether your right leg is still there. This falling to the right reminds me of the Japanese guy...

Last time I checked, all fine!

I have a habit of dropping Donkey on the right, Tulip normally drops him on the left. So at least all the scratches are well distributed.

Tulip just has the advantage of been a lady, so everyone helps pick up the bike BEFORE taking photos.

About '91 or '92. I tried to jump off the dam wall and power through the dried up dam. Turns out that the part I landed in wasn't that dry and the bike stopped instantly. My nuts hooked the top of the fairing while going over the top. The guy with me, like a true DS rider, first went home to fetch the camera.

my fat girl gets tired periodically,
her, she's taking another nap.
groenie's and mine both got tired simultaneously,
within 20 of each other!!!

Obviously a huge bonus having that IMS tank D7,the stock metalic paint job would be ism! Good one!

D7 · « **Reply #35 on:** September 20, 2007, 08:45:58 am »

that tank has paid for itself
i would have bought, at a conservative guess
about 5 radiators by now!!!!

I'm from a well-known family of werfcrashers - people known to fall down at points of arrival or departure. This was taken by LS as we arrived at the camping site on Bo-Piketberg earlier this year. Bloody Scorpions (tyres), bloody short legs, rather blunted sense of balance (congenital, not allways acquired). Bloody hell

I know there is quite a few of me down, come on guys post them already. Shark do you still have the one of the first mud trip where I fell in the mud puddle by the road just after the railway tracks.... I think it is my best ever

JourneyMan · « **Reply #39 on:** September 21, 2007, 06:18:03 am »

All 3 BM riders went down that day.

Funacide

Yeah. This is fun.

Ryperd starting to loose it and we running for camera's in stead of helping.

Myself.

The bikes

Hopefully we can revisit the Muddy Canal's again this year.
