As the title says, it started with this:
Then I got this:
Then I had a rush of blood and picked this up:
and for some reason this
and today this:
I have a problem!!!!
The Chinese 250 is being sold. Should be sold this week.
Not sure about the XR. It’s monster and needs a bit of work. If it doesn’t sell this week I will hang onto it and take my time working on it.The KTM I picked up today. Itsa veeeery niiiiiice :laugh:
Needs a clean up, new brake pads and new rims front and back. They are cracked. Just hunting around for a decently priced set now. It cam with a full set of newish orange plastics and a black seat. I will paint/dye the orange plastics black and store the plastics on it away.She is at the moment. But now that I have the KTM to ride I am thinking of hanging onto the XR and taking my time to rebuild it. She needs a bit more work than I first thought. I had a ride Saturday and she started first kick everytime, ran rough but was all go. On Sunday would not start, sprained my ankle, took all the skin off my shin when she kicked back etc etc
I pushed it back into the shed and gave up. Probably start first kick again tomorrow This is true.
It is a new show we are working on for next season. Quads vs quads vs dirtbikes, all armoured up etc etc. The KTM will be getting a make over and take part in the show. I will be sitting out due to a bung arm so am co-ordinating it.

Yeah, and maybe the Tenere would fit right into the show just nicely
all you need to wear would be your Black Gimp Suit :laugh:Thanks Bruce, sure is. I really have missed them.
The KTM scared me today with its go. Had a quick ride and it was great. Easy to ride, goes like stink and lofts the front wheel easily. Just have an issue with it bogging down and stalling. I can’t seem to get the HotStart button on the carb in the right spot.
Changed the plug in the bombed up XR630 I picked up and it now starts first kick everytime and goes like a rabid dog. Damn thing scared the crap out of me. I was screaming along in 3rd and cracked the throttle and the damn front wheel came up!!!!
Not sure I want to sell it now :woohoo:
Mind you I could also seriously hurt myself on it as well
Well, here is the KTM after playing with it for a week.
This has been a very quick tidy up to get it serviced and ready to ride. I shot the frame with the engine still in. Polished up the alloy bits and painted the original orange plastics. Pulled the exhause sytem off and painted it with heat paint and polished the alloy muffler. Black rims still to come and some more tidy up work on the brakes, sprockets etc.
This is how I got it:
And this is how it sits at the moment:
