    Good luck with it Chris. I would have felt more comfortable, if you had the time to hang around and let me put fresh wheel bearings in it (front and rear). Keep an eye on them and remember you may not be as lucky next time! XR600 Wheels dont grow on trees. Anyhow have fun mate and I hope all goes well. Cheers

    If any of you guys up north of here can Help Chris out with some short term work, contact me and I will sort something out. For visa purposes he has to find some work in a rural situation but he will consider any offers to help top up his coffers.

    Good one Sack. :laugh: Good onya for….. 1. selling him a top bike and 2. following up and making sure the young fella was ok, once he encountered a problem. Good after sale service is hard to find on a 2nd hand 16 year old bike. ;)

    Yeah mate, I am looking forward to a visit from you. Would be great to catch up. It would be close to 20 years. :ohmy:

    That’s Gold!
    Keep posting mate. I am keen to hear how you adventure unfolds. One minute your a random Pommie backpacker and the next you have 1000 other blokes following you travels. Forget Facebook mate, keep us in the loop.
