was supposed to perform a 90 degree wheelie at end of ditch to get out,, didnt quite make it - ended up in the bamboo..,

managed to hold the bike up!






had a go on a mates KLX 450 = actually kind of liked it! very torquey down low - didnt get it out of first - cos was on a real narrow track ( he couldnt get it up - ooh err missus.. )

still a bit pricey for me - but the suspension felt nice!!

Yea, to much bike is a sure fire fast route to hospital food. Less power, more control.

lack of power can also cause injury! bloody thing jus cut out as I was goin down a steep muddy slope today.. jus as I went to get on the gas - to get over a tree root - left me in no mans land basically... front slide out.. bike on top of me sort of..

I'd put a pic up but my inner thigh is practically pornographic.

why is my idlin so bl00dy erratic? starts off high then as bike warms up goes down - then later when bike is really hot goes diesellin on ya?!

Sounds like an air leak on a tired engine, but that shouldn't be the case should it
Mike

FMTB+1 Air leak.

Chuck in a LH crank seal before it seizes on you.

hmm Left hand crankseal is the easy one.. or is it? can do it by jus removing stator?

think my mechanix are as cr@p as me ridin~!

list of jobs to do growin again...

Browns good, Cadbury's or Nestle's either or, it don't sound like it's running lean.
