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

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