I am riding this Saturday and the next weekend for two days, the Friday after that I am having shoulder surgery, but if the oh in the zoo business is a challenge to run at the front you had better practice little man because you have never come even close before :laugh:

Hey TB
Why tell the story you have already told the story here no more to tell, you seem to know how it all goes and what happen as well. Please do tell me so I know as well TB.
Cheers
Dr DAlright I will tell you what I heard
How come the chrome on the forks had cracked? They didnt know why but had seen it on some KTM’s before
Did it have to be rechromed before the black stuff applied to the fork tubes (cant remember the name of the stuff)Yes but they didnt charge you for it
You had both the forks and the shock shaft done with the coating You told bme about the shockWhat did it end up costing to have the black stuff applied and the tubes repaired and then revalved and set up, would have been at least a couple of grand wouldnt it?
lots and lots revalved etc as well
What year model is it 09 they shouldnt have failed the chrome yet should they? No not on a late model bike that has done so little work like yours, but guess its not red is it
Look forward to our next ride mate and seeing the bike in action if I am riding backwards, ah I am sorry for that :laugh:

Hey TB
All I hope is that the terrian is real rough and rocky so we can see which is quicker and less to manage to keep on the pace.
cheers
