Bogged on the first day of summer
Wayne has a reputation for getting stuck and he’s outdone himself this year by bogging a quad bike on the first day of summer. Worse, he left his helmet at the scene of the crime and by the time the kids and I came to the rescue, his gear had been given a beating by the local hoons.
Cows may be vegetarians but don’t for a minute think that this in itself bestows innocence. They are merciless with unattended vehicles. This time the helmet, fuel breather line and rubber boot for the brake assembly were squelched deep into the quagmire but I’ve seen much worse.
In fact, a local fencing guy swears one (or maybe a gang) of our “ladies” opened his ute door and took off with his cheese and Vegemite sandwiches, leaving only a trail of slobber on the gearstick and driver’s seat.
Moral of the story: never leave valuables in sight or your vehicle unlocked.

Poor Wayne, Cows just don’t respect for intruders in their paddock.
What he really needs is one of these, http://www.argoatv.com.au/ Remember the banana splits tv show!!

I love it! Don’t think I’ve ever bogged our quad bike but I’ve certainly stacked it. These darn cows eh?

Hope you weren’t hurt, Angus – an overturned quad is a bone crusher.

No, thrown off both times – luckily

Phew. Glad to hear it. We fitted both our bikes with Quadbars but still got to treat these heavy beasts with a lot of respect.
