    a few blokes from Tamworth have been on a 12 day trailbike tour of South Africa.I just heard today from a mate that one of the Tamworth blokes went off a 50 metre cliff……50 BLOODY METRES!!!!!!!:ohmy:
    Apparently they had a bit of pace on,they were all shi@ hot riders but obviuosly didn’t know the country and the poor bastard went over the edge and bounced just once before he hit the deck…they reckon he is still alive but only just,hes in a coma and they flew his missus over to him on thursday,gotta a couple of kids too,not lookin good,poor bastard….:(
    You blokes beeing riders an all,i thought you guys might understand why i had to post this post….
    Take it easy..

    That would have to be someones worst nightmare,especially being so far from Home:( Hope you get thru it mate.

    Sometimes you just have to tone it down,it could quite easily happen here as well,no sense in going 110%,not worth it.

    That’s one of my fears when I am out riding, I am always axtra cautious where there are drop offs, particularly when they’re on the outside of a corner, better to be slower than go over the edge. All the best for him and his family.

    I hate hearing stories like this,even more so when kids are affected.I cant stand the look on my wifes face when she says be carefull when im leaving on a ride.stories like this are to close to home.

    I almost did something similar when i was a young(er) bloke. I was in the bush above Bill Delauny oval at revesby and we had to run back to the ground and I almost ran clean off the cliff onto henry lawson road – scared the bejeeesus out of me :(
