Go here http://www.sibirskyextreme.com/sibirsky-extreme-2010/ and down the very bottom there is a slideshow with some photos. Also if you go here http://www.sibirskyextreme.com/photos2/ there are more photos. The BAM (and Vitim bridge) in particular are the most jaw dropping.

Seriously cool! So cool in fact that I am planning an expedition to do the BAM next year BMW x-challenge is a bit out of my budget so we are just going for DRZ400's.

It was tongue in cheek
I think I've seen all the photos Walter has ever put up on the web.

Some of the places where he takes photos at are pretty pedestrian as well.... Don't think I'll ever want to go there...NOT!!!

Q Has this bike had side impact ,does it look as if the swing arm & front forks are bent.??? chedd (107 ) 4:44 pm, Fri 11 Mar
A Tim here: the bike ran in to a flock of sheep ... forks look straight and there's few signs of any impact save the slight twist to the rear subframe, but you might consider having the bike surveyed if the answer is crucial to you 11:21 am, Mon 14 Mar

Wondering if this is the one from the D.B.

Ask Clint.

Nope. Neither is Hwy 35. It takes more than a couple of sheep to write off a 640 but.

What was the guy's score? One of mine was a lamb but it was a good size & the other one was pretty big so I reckon that makes an honest 2.

Cheers

Pretty shure that was,nt Dave Kurigers bike.
Was going to ring him & make him aware of the auction, in case he wanted it for spares for his,(Don,t actually know how it faired in the crash) but forgot. ---- Oh! Well!!---nother senior moment.


Getting back to Colebatches report on the x challenge set-up. Was really interesting abought the saddlebags I thought. soft -verses-hard , position on bike , various brands ,diff.materials & mounting points.etc.----- Excellent .
