Got out on the CRM
Mostly on the road, got a couple of short green lanes in ( sadly not many legal ones left were we rode) did 120 miles got a sore bum, forgot how hard those seats are, pleased with how it went, haven't ridden for about 2 years, apart from Dirt Quake last year, so today was just to get used to the bike and see how it ran.
Got a small weep of oil from the kickstart shaft seal so that will be replaced, no play in the shaft which is good.
Here is a pic near Jodrell Bank, next to my mates DR

And one at J&S, had to park next to one of those big off-road bikes that are popular these days.......didn't look very dirty

Re: Got out on the CRM
I think it was the original colour although it had yellow stickers on the rad panels when I got it, but half were missing due to jet washing by the looks of it so I took them off.

Probably going to replace with a set of these

Bike looks nice,I took mine out for its first run yesterday,not as successful as you,300 yards and my carb was chucking fuel everywhere lol. At least I didn't have far to push it home though.
On the subject of graphics I have just used d&d and they were spot on,very good quality and arrived within 3 weeks.

Re: Got out on the CRM
I only really want to disguise the purple a bit really, may just paint the tank, and change the air box
Going to use it for now and worry about the looks later
Nice collection btw, pension fund?

Fishy
Funny you say that as I am paying for 6 of us to go to Macau and have a bit of fun, good job I will have a wad of dollars from you to spend there
On a more serious note make sure you bring a map with you showing me where you ride, it would be nice to actually place your trail on a larger map.

Re: Got out on the CRM
I will bring a map for my secret Sai Kung ones'
here's the PLA shooting range - these are very well known - and have the longest/ most challenging trails in Hong Kong - You can ride all the way from Butterfly beach to Lau Fa SHan on Deep Bay road - all spitting distance from the chinese border... U can almost see the trails in the sat photo...- basically everything on the left side of Tuen Mun is fair game! its weird terrain.. doesnt look like anywhere else in HK - not forested - but just scrubland.. very hilly!!!
