Safari bike pics - past & present

mike cramb · 07-09-2007, 07:30 AM

Got a PM tonight from Safari Berg saying wouldnt it be a good idea to start this thread. Now I dont know why he didnt do it himself but lets not let shyness get in the way of a good idea. Besides this forum has been getting a little boring of late and could do with some nice pictures to brighten it up a bit.

So who is going to post the first pic c'mon safari berg we know you want to show it off.

While we are waiting heres one from the past thanks to GT:

I'm old enough to know that the Oz safari used to be called the Wynns safari and recall the dominance of the early XR600s.

Being only 15 at the time I recall when steve chapman built a USD forked XR600 with a monster tank.

The chapmans were great riders.

So if there are any ealry XR600 photos that would be cool!

No thats not mine. Mine was "apparently' ridden by Andy Haydon

Just got the bottom end together, and all the flywheel nuts and Clutch nut torqued and ready to go into the frame . . . . . .

Pezz :)

Nope, this is yours, seems to be a semi-permanent state its in

Of all the photos I took, these series, in 1999, near Humbert River in the NT, are my all time favourite, my only regret is I forgot to give them to Bob to put in his book.
