Eendekuil , the Ride report

[adv]

My XR is quite a bit higher than your average smoker... I was actually surprised that I got through there without much issues.

I bet its a lot easier to restart with a smoker than with something like the XR?

The trouble with the KTM's is that the airbox is comprised of sections that clip together and it is at these joints that the water comes through , now the KDX on the other hand has a one piece airbox with a drain hole at the bottom that has a gland to keep water out , the only other place where water can enter is right at the top under the seat , so river crossings are a breeze .

The bottom KTM upside down shot is Stephen Bosson , brother of the late Chris of Bosson exhausts .

Just pointing out that this water crossing was not on the track!!! You guys missed a turn and a 4 meter long candy tape arrow and rode for 200 m without stickers to go and drown your bikes. Maybe next time you will look?
Was at Dirtrider yesterday and there were a row of drowned ktms.
Remember that if you are riding and see a guy with a camera, be sure something is going to happen.
You guys are gr8 sport!

Ja na ek deur is vertel Bob my, "o fok, ek't jou gemis, gaan gou weer deur" toe ry ek maar eerder die ou draai'tjie en weer deur die sement-drif en al die pad om, maar toe ken ek die pad :imaposer: eepwall: en daai 4m tape was rondom 'n quad gedraai toe ek daar verby is Calmax ot:

 

[4Feathers]

ons het besluit om die water crossing te vermy en rodom te ry.
toe draai ons links want daar was nie tape nie en by die water crossing wys die kamera man ons kan maar kom.
ons neem toe aan dat die crossing nie so diep is soos die vorige een wat ons vermy het nie.
**** - die een is toe dieper!!!
daar was baie verdwaalde bikes en quads aangesien die tape verwyde was soos gese in vorige post.
dis ook die plek waar thys van langebaan sy skouer en vinger gebreek het met die valslag.

die KTM het ons self weer loop gemaak en is nou beter as van te vore!
ons het sommer al die carbon binne die enjins uitgewas en hulle is so goed soos nuut!!

Glad to hear the bikes are up and running again Don  :thumleft:

Here's a few snap shots from my GoPro. Let's start with Dux who spent the whole day throwing mud at me. That's the thanks I get for videoing the oke in action 

Dux:

 

[Buff]

And a few more of Dux in action. If I didn't know better I would have sworn he was having fun out there  :ricky:

 

[Buff]

Here's a few random shots of the route... it was fun  ;D

My YZ was at Dux the week before to have the exhaust repacked and boy-o-boy, it was like the unblocked baffled had given it a turbo charge  :ricky: I was having an absolute blast out there in the sand and mud.

 

[Buff]

I'm not sure if this rider is a WD or not but he sure can ride his Africa Twin like a BOSS  :thumleft:
He was having a hard time keeping the power in check on the slippery terrain but he emabrassed a lot of okes on plastics, respect bud  :thumleft:
I spent some time riding behind him to get some shots, just in case he's one of us:

 

[BlueBull2007]

Lekker pics and report guys! Well done :hello2:

That bike looks lekker Dux!

Hehehe and now for a moments silence please while we pray for the bikes revival...... ;D

A small request if I may:

I know this an RR, but please consider posting this type of report in the Racing section or at least a link in the Racing index thread? I would love to be able to index all these runs for everyone under racing and I'm worried I might miss one. Thanks :thumleft:

It is Neil , a lot better than I anticipated .

 

[Buff]

Then there were these two beautiful turned out Red Bull KTM640 (I believe) on the start line  :drif:

 

[Dux]

Awesome shots bud , of course I hated every minute of the ride  :biggrin: :biggrin:

 

[Buff]

Yami Super10 was there testing out his new and my old WR450 with the new FMF pipe  :drif:

 

[Buff]

Just a few more random shots of our other mates Ian (KDX) and Adrian (YZ250) that rode with us.
