Bike Buried

kph · 7th March 2007, 13:37

i got this funny picture as an email forward.
The mail says the bike was parked at that place in 1980 somewhere in Kerala and the owner is in Gulf... dont know how far that is right.
Also i wonder how can someone wait and see a motor bike being burried by a tree.

Even i got this email sometime back. Looks original but still its baffling. Just wondering this is really possible. You can't believe these things :-)

Nice photoshopped image. Thanks

Trees dont grow out of bikes & bikes dont grow out of trees.

And more over look at the bike its so neat and with very less rust on it. How can a bike be out there in the sun and rain without much damage..he..he..

its a clean photoshop work.

If it was parked for so long nobody tried to steal it ??

Had it been a creeper we could still digest something like that happening. But a tree neatly confining and realigning to the bike's body contour is too hard to digest. Good imagination though.

Wonder, Did we have Alloy Wheels in 1980...????

Looks like the Pic is Photoshoped.....

I dont this pic is from Kerala....It is not a RD350...Check out the front suspension/shocks.Also to my knowledge RD did not have alloys. Check out that silencer on the left side...

CrAzY dRiVeR · 7th March 2007, 15:31

The engine doesnt look like it belongs to an RD...

Engine resembles the bullet... I haven't seen it, but have heard of an Enfield bike called Fury, which was the first with alloys...(but came too early in our market)

Looks like a Yamaha or a Honda parallel twin 4-stroke bike.

chanapli · 7th March 2007, 15:48

It is not RD . It may not be Enfield Fury as well, just because it was launched after 1985 for sure and the authour of the thread claims the bike was left as is on 1980!.

I guess that is an explorer from escorts.

or may be a Mini Bullet
