 Enduro Africa Madness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjlpx7GfXAo Nico was this doctor that rode with the blue group with an injured foot for a week, towards the end of the ride he rode his bike into a swimming pool, after draining the exhaust of water and a bit of messing about the bike fired up and away it went. Just to flesh out the story a bit more: We had and UK based paramedic/doctor who organised all the medical side of it, Kip put in place 3 doctors on bikes who rode with a team split between the 7 groups of riders, at the back were 2 ambulances. After a few days we lost our sweep/doctor so there were now only 2 riding with us all, some places the ambilances would get to late or could not get there at all due to terrain, so when Nico had a fall and hurt his foot, if we lost him we'd be down to only 1 doctor on the days ride. He toughed it out and kept riding for about a week with a bad foot, you could see the pain and discomfort on his face, but he did not let us down. The blue group were so impressed with him they bought him a new pair of Alpinestar boots, as a reward one of the Yamaha South African mechanics let him ride one of their bikes into the pool. If you have seen the photos put up by cassproductions, there was a guy (Chris) with a serious beaten up leg after a major fall, it was Nico that helped him get through some of the last 2 days of the Rally as his leg was seriously painful. We were all pleased for Nico and him letting off steam towards the end of the Rally, was also a release of tension for us too. Last edited by jeff st4s : 15-Dec-2006 at 21:38.  |

It is still not 9 o'clock yet so the adult humour has to be put on hold till later, besides I was fleshing out the Nico thread. |
