Oh Dear God what a saga.

Arghhhhh I just want to ride it.

Also spotted one of these at Beard Bros. today. For some reason I really like this helmet.

Better calm down and get used to it Cap, it’s the life of a KTM owner

Good taste in helmets though mate.

Oh sweet Jeebus, I think I actually fixed it!!!!!

Finally got the filter in (little toilet roll looking thing that cost $49 from KTM!!!!!)

Got it all back together, oil in, coolant in etc etc and took it for a ride. Goes like stink,,,, Thank God.

Spare plastics to be cleaned and painted black. Still waiting on the new rims to arrive, haven’t even heard if they have been sent yet :angry:

Nice work El Capitano, pleasure and pain hey (well more to the point pain then pleasure)let the riding begin.

[MalMember]

Good stuff Capt. Nice to see you got it all sorted.

[Rod WalkerMember]

Thanks guys. Now I need to mark a track out in my top paddock to blat it around. Can’t see me getting it registered anytime soon, if at all, so paddock riding for me.

Anyone close by that likes grass-tracking

Cheers
Rod

Looking good Capt. Bags not riding it with a jousting stick under my arm!! :ohmy:

Grass tracking mmmmmm :woohoo: :woohoo:
I have something like this in my yard

[Rod WalkerMember]

Oh Schwing!!!

Ummm, and how would one obtain an invite to come over for a ride?

Just how far away from our place are you? Those look like the same huge power lines that run through my top paddock.

Don’t be jealous Krusty. If a poor dumb simplton like me can achieve a yard like that than anyone can..

One of our members designed and marked out the track and did a great job.

Last grasstrack I actually raced at (back in the mid ’90’s) was at Oberon.
It was freezing. Snow, sleet, driving wind. God it was miserable.

I remember huddling around my XR’s engine trying to keep warm between races

Hmmm, we have a spare paddock up the back. I wonder if I would be allowed to put a track in it

[Rod WalkerMember]

Can you believe it??? First ride and I bin it

Went for a blat up the back, was idling along at walking pace and didn’t see a small log in the grass and dropped it. Scratched the paintwork and put a split in the radiator shroud.

How embarrasing.

This is why I can’t have nice stuff

[Jason GreenMember]

at least you didn’t damage the radiator

Be careful Captain, they sometimes get dirty too. :silly:
