Unceremoniously off!

Well done.
I'd have set fire to it and claimed on insurance!
Seriously glad you are OK. It doesn't look like somewhere you'd want to be injured.
The chap we agist-to recently bought a massive KTM and came a cropper in one of our gullies. He's a big bloke but was trapped head-down between two trees on a hill.
Needed a tractor to pull it off him!!
I'll stick with my Yammy 200 - goes everywhere and I can even lift it.

Thanks Wade. I imagine the hole might have changed a bit in 24 years. I didn't realised that over 50% of NSW cement demand is supplied from that hole!

I can't imagine setting it on fire. I still remember watch "On Any Sunday" when I was 8, and old mate "accidentally" burned his Husky 400 in the desert. I think that emotionally scarred me.

They are big bikes. A Yammy 200 sounds ideal around the farm and single lane tracks. I sold my XR600 because I wasn't riding it so much and felt I was getting too old to bounce back from the occasional off. Thought I'd take it a bit easier and do some touring... then a GS makes sense... there's lots of dirt roads in Aus... and what do you know? Before long you're finding the limits of an even bigger bike! Aperture fever isn't just in astronomy you know...

While looking for por...er...I mean intellectually stimulating telly, last night, I came across something called MXTV.
Basically what it sounds like - a program devoted to Moto-X and off-road bikes.
Thay rated the Suzuki GS400 as the best all rounder currently on the market.
Not a racer by any means - but a solid off-road tourer.
Enough 'ooompf' to go anywhere, but not big enough to wear you out.
Just a thought!
