KTMrad 508 Posted October 4, 2006 From the Team Dual Dogs - 6 Days of Northern California dualsport ride, 1999. Alfred, after he fell off the side of a trail, down into a creek....he fell with the KTM 640 Adventure rolling over the top of him, luckily he was able to push the bike as it rolled with him. Alfred again, losing it while crossing a slippery log on a muddy hillslide washout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 508 Posted October 4, 2006 From our 2004 Moab trip. Here's what happens in the dunes if you don't take off, giving it enough gas on a fully loaded, 450 pound bike. I'm stuck on my Elefant 900 in the dunes at Gordon's Well, off interstate 8, heading west from Yuma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 508 Posted October 4, 2006 How much did the helicopter ride for the bike cost ????????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandiegoland 0 Posted October 4, 2006 How much did the helicopter ride for the bike cost ????????? The bid was $800, but I know that is a lower than the job was worth. He got a good deal if that is what he ultimately paid. But as Bikeslut later joked, "it was so worth it just to see my bike go flying off!" The helicopter extraction is chronicled here: stuck bike The ride report leading up to it is recorded here: Phantom Trail II, Laguna Mountains to the Desert Below Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted October 4, 2006 The pilot quoted $800 based on the GPS coordinates given... He said if it was more than an hour, he would "eat the cost" above $800... lucky for me he was a better pilot than navigator. He told me later that he misjudged where the bike was, and it took him almost 2 hours. I got another quote from BlackHawk Helicopters out of Gillespie Field. He said his small chopper was down, or else, he could do it for $800 too... his next smallest bird was $975 an hour... and he " does this sort of thing ALL THE TIME"?! He was very eager to take the job if the other deal fell through... so if any of you are "adventurous" (my new word for stupid) enough to need a lift, call them. Cherry Helicopters was the guy that did the work... he now has good karma. Craig... I believe my quote was, " it was ALMOST worth it" $800 buys a lot of toys...

carguy 1 Posted November 3, 2006 To keep the thread alive. Here is the only pic I could find with the Honda stuck. This was the Phantom II ride and I had to intentionally get the bike stuck. It was too steep to ride and no place for a kickstand. There were 4 bikes stuck on this ride. She sat like that for a week until sandiegoland & I rescued her.

KTMrad 508 Posted December 27, 2006 Thread needs a bump...make sure you guys get some photos of "Getoffs" or getting stuck, next time your out....that's if you do fall over High Sierra Adventure Ride 2005..... issues with a snowdrift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyro 1 Posted January 2, 2007 Wow, nice one Randy ! Once in a while I hit the deck, but I usually pick up the bike and dust off so fast that nobody sees it, and if they do, they can't get the camera out fast enough to catch it. I hope I didn't just jinx myself. . . To keep the thread alive, here's what I've found in my SDAR archive. I know it's not much, but some will remember the ride that this photo was from and all the 'crashes and get-offs' that happened on that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandiegoland 0 Posted January 2, 2007 from New Years Day 2007, Riding near Superstition with the Motocross Heros of Division 8 Ride-Orange at the controls of MickeyB's KTM 625, pulling Kerri's seized 2-Stroke 11.5 miles out of the desert... ...I think it might've got kicked into gear. She's a good rider and they soon got into the groove and got it back to camp. Stuff I could barely plow through they got two bikes through on one motor!! Good job folks!!!

Boston Mangler 0 Posted January 8, 2007 1/7/07... Ride report forecoming... maybe Nice shot! I am the idiot laying on the ground. Long story short, i hit a large rock because of 1) i was enjoying the cool scenary a little too much, and 2) once i saw the rock, it was too late! Surprisingly little damage to the bike, but my wrist is still swollen and hurts like hell! Big thanks to MARBEE AND SANDIEGOLAND for slowing the pace down on the ride back to SD and making sure i got home ok! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted January 9, 2007 Kevin, Sorry to hear it buddy, I guess we won't be riding this weekend...wrists take a long time to heal don't try to rush it. Suppress the urge to ride again until you're ready to rip. Ice and heat, ice and heat, alternate as much as you can. It helps tremendously. Catch ya later, Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marbee40 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Thanks John the wrist still hurts, but i am pretty sure its only a sprain, a painful one at that, i will know for sure friday when i get xrays thanks k I just realized that's my dumb arse holding your bike up and that's it's sitting on the rock that "bit" your bike. When this picture was taken, I do recall someone stating that it looked "staged"...... Looks about as bad as when I first rode up! OUCH! Hope ya heal fast, bro!
