Smile Old Scratcher, are you two related?

Ck the pix on the W650 Forum. This is either an ancestor of Scratch's, or burying the rear wheel of a Triumph in beach sand is a national pastime in Aus!

Anything involving the beach is a national pastime out here Bob.
Though I haven't heard that bogging a bike is a hereditary skill.
So no. She's no known relative of mine.
Which is a shame, as we could do with a few more good-looking genes like that in the Scratch blood lines.

Good thing she's not on a Scrambler with those "milky white" naked legs.

I'd like to know what the pic was doing on a W650 forum?
Back when that was taken, owning a Kawasaki was tantamount to treason.
So was this pic taken from one of the mini-subs that raided Sydney Harbour?
No wonder they failed!
Our bike bogging techniques would have had them completely bamboozled.
Aussie ingenuity at it's finest
If we can't stump 'em with science
We'll baffle 'em with BS!!!!
