But those Lee Enfields hammering your back...
I think that's why they invented the Sten.

Re: Desert riders

That's great footage :-)
Someone must have got into trouble getting them to wreck the machines for the cameras like that.

It looks like a good quality control test for Indian replica forks

Top marks to the Aussie DR's, especially after I beached my M20 on a 6 inch rut at the weekend

Re: Desert riders

The Sten gun isn`t much better. I tryed kickstarting the bike with one slung across my back and it came around and clocked me under the left ear. Glad nobody was watching.

Re: Desert riders

There are a lot of military motorcycle films on the site, if you enter military Motorcycle in the search box. The films can be seen as a series of stills which can also be downloaded.

PS

I wonder how they got them so far in the air
