    As for the missus, she is often confused about things I do. :laugh:

    She must have been confused when she said ‘I do’ at the wedding.

    Not as confused as she is now, as to why she said it.

    Love your new bike Conner the next ride you go on with us will be beter as the fuel range wont be a problem. Love the dacals Mick give yourself a wrap :laugh:. Thanks for the lap on the XR what a beast. I thought the WR426 was a big bike. But just like you said it felt like a BMX when i got back on it. I was a bit dissapointed to get overtaken by gappy on the DRZ on the down hill while I was on the 650. Just didnt want to drop the thing. You must have the longest legs in the world to ride it .(No crude jokes please)It reminded me of the time when I rode an XR 600 when I was 13 I had to start it on the stand and could only touch the ground on one side… just. The power was similar too no need to change gears. Maybe they could save some weight and just have one gear like a Boss Hoss.You could probably omit the front wheel too you never use it anyway. It must feel rediculous when you get on the 250f.

    I am very impressed with the new ride Connor, tell you what don’t let the old Bloke on it, he’ll only crash it, cause all that handling ability will catch him out.

    Seriously Michael, nice bike for the young bloke you’re a good Dad in my books except one thing…

    The pipe is too small to be a real YZ and it probably goes chug chug instead of Brapp brapp….. :P

    apart from that it’s all good.

    The other day i got a call from TB offering me the full stainless hand made Staintune exhaust off his bike. A deal was struck and in no time it was delivered along with the oversized front disc off his bike too.
    With all those goodies to bolt onto the pig I wasted no time in getting some quality shed time in.
    The pipe was a bit grubby from the time spent on TB’s bike,so a bit of elbow grease had it looking great again. Once I got it all cleaned up it was time to bolt it all up.

    Headers on

    Radiators and plastics back on

    Next job was to fit up the disc and caliper bracket.

    A bit of chin scratching had that sorted and it was time to take it for a blast out the bush.

    You know what??

    Sounds good
    Goes good
    And stops good.
    Happy days, shed time well spent. Cheers TB, thanks for the good deal.

    Wow that pipe came up with a clean mate well done it definitely looks the goods :) Now to get the jigsaw into that side cover and open the air ways, I will re-jet it for you in Feb and bang instead horsepower :ohmy: :laugh: Did the headers blue up when you went for a ride?

    Once the pads bed in watch the front brake coming in your gate :laugh:

    Ok I will admit to a bit of a soft spot for the 2 stroke motorbicycle, but I also like XRs…….
    and GSXRs
    the rest are pretty average…
