Bike left in the bush

Did’nt young Diddel have to sleep out in the bush once when he broke down :laugh: I’ll be a hard call to make on what to do.

That is what the OBT network is good for!! Rallying troops when shit hits the fan.If it was in the bush here,we’d get it out.

Man, I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing my bike was unattended out in the bush.

Me either. Especially with a ktm. No key. They would even be able to ride it away. Wouldn’t even have to go to the effort of go and get a ute to pick it up. When I got my bike I rang KTM and asked if there was a ready made ignition you could purchase and fit. I was told that KTM are performance racing bikes and as such a key is not important. What a crock of shit. If it can be registered it is not a performance racing bike. As you may have noted the arrogance of their answer still gets my goat (asked the question in 2008). Maybe I should just let things go!

Anyway all the best with getting your bike back. I would be taking the ute out and a couple of mates and some beers for them just in case the hill proves too hard. Don’t want it out there for a second night. Check your insurance is up to date before you find out if it’s still there or not.

Well happy to say today was a good outcome,after a sleepless night and anxious day at work.All that needs to be done is go and colect my car from where i parked it to walk back in to my bike.
The bike was were i left it,so after rolling back down to level ground, disconecting the switch on the stand,it ran fine,so after clearing some lose rocks and branches of the track pulled on the helmet blew the bugs out of the smoker,and then when it ran smooth, took a run on the hill climb out.I knew that i probably only had one real go in me cose I’m not a yong bloke, so had to make it count,got off line in a couple of spots bounced off some rocks almost lost it once but made it up.I was stoked cos a RMX is not the best bike for rock climbing I can tell yu.
Any way thanks for yu help guys, i still have a bike to ride.
I took a couple of pics.
Cheers Teza.
This is where the bike spent a lonely night.

This is about half of the hill.

Good on Teza, thats a fine looking example of a RMX mate a credit to you and a fair old hill for a self confessed old bloke :laugh:

Yeah! thanks Trailboss,The RMX only has 2000 km’s on it but most of that is off road so it has plenty of scrapes on it.I have to tell you though, while I like the old moto x feel of the thing, I’m ready for something with an electric leg and a bit more low down talk.

[RoyMember]

A case of what goes down must come up. Well done and I agree with TB, the bike has been looked after.

[jamieMember]

Good story tezza i like your adventures,decent looking hill climb too.

[terryjhaynesMember]

Yeh, thanks guys,just happy to have been able to ride it out of there. Just one of the down sides to riding the tracks on yu own. Any way thanks to the OBT crew for helping out,and look forward to geting in on a ride real soon.
Cheers Teza.
