Cheap laughs.

Did you ever direct your mate into a water hole with assurances of it's depth, knowing all the while it was a bike eater...?
Roost him out of a mud hole?
Lean over and flick his kill switch?

Cheap laughs are sometimes the best...

I stood on the other side of this hole waiting for Rick.
When he arrived, I assured him it was a mere splash.

As he tried to start it, the fatigue must have addled his brain and he got my name wrong - he muttered something like "Thanks Munt" or Lunt or maybes it was "Thanks Bunt"

I can play this one, 'Joe, just ride through this one and I'll film you.'

There's the famous Woodman and the "Just go across the top and I'll film it" incident...

MarkS must be related, he's a Munt too.

Check out from 30 seconds where he's navigating me around a big puddle.

There are a few Munts around.
I know one in Plimmerton, and one that owns a Bike Magazine...

I laugh whenever I think of that day. We were plotting a route for the 1981(?) enduro champs and someone had this great idea "let's make the experts go under the bridge". So we told Phil that it was easy and promptly watched as he went over the bars and dropped the "mighty" XR200. You can see that my PE is parked in the background, far enough away that it was too far for me to walk back and get on it and try to go under the bridge!

The good old days - wow I even brushed my hair back then. Thanks for posting that Phil!

Posted this before - and it's lacking a motor, but it's two wheels and a drive chain right?

Thompsons track, on the eastern side. "You can ride through that easy! Just hit it with plenty of speed" My dad claimed. Didn't quite click as to why he was saying that whilst standing on the sidelines with a camera in his hands...
