This is the last lot for tonight. Taken at a ride at Catombal bike park in 2008 – Ekips and his broken KTM250EXCF
And a timely snap of a mate nearly binning his KLX
More to come another time!
Cheers,
ECKS
From a trip to Biketerritory near Narrabri. My first encounter with Blue and Bundyroy. I was recovering from a nasty crash involving a wallaby, but still had a great day and snapped a couple of decent photos.
Love the sign!
Now a magical trip back in time. Taken in 2007, when my DRZ was almost new. On a ride with my mate Darren near Yeoval NSW.
Same location, Darren on a different XR!
Day 5, just some scenery
Day 2 of the Safari, a photo taken as I drove along on a beautiful morning from Geraldton east towards Mt Magnet.
Ben Grabham came into the first service with a completely destroyed rear wheel
Ok, this is chopping around in time as I remember the good pics scattered through the event, but now you are looking at Day 3 – a marathon day of 800 competitive kilometres or so. This is Dave before the start of the last selective. Taken at about 4 in the afternoon and he still had 200km to race for the day!
So, continuing with the Safari 2009, here is Ben Grabham on Day 4. The previous day he had a slight incident with spokes in his rear wheel – yes there will be a photo of that too. However, Day 4 was the start of Ben gaining back the hour he lost to Jake Smith. If he looks serious, trust me, he is!
And Ben taking off for the selective
Taken the same day, this was my view as service crew for my brother-in-law, Dave. I was solo crew and it was pretty tough – obviously not as tough as riding, but tough nevertheless!
Cheers mate, welcome to Old Bulls!
Watch out for Menace…

What kind of inflatable doll are you using, man???
Cheers, though! TB was saying “F#@k off ECKS!” in that photo – can you tell?
Dave followed me back through the transport to town and finished in position 42. Bloody well done!!
Top effort to Crash on finishing at all, let alone making a decent show of it like he did!
Congrats to Chris for his effort this year and to Caeser – that guy is fast!
Here are a few at the end of the show, just to round things off.
Then Dave came through, he was looking pretty good too, but then he looked up and saw me and it threw him off track – then off the bike! I love this sequence:
It was OK, Dave got the position back by the end of the selective, about 5km later on. Here’s Dave coming into the final time control:
