    Well today while getting the big rig ready for the uralla 4hr I thought its looking good enough to share … its no show pony by any means but its a ball to ride and no standard trail bike

    Tyres – kenda washugals front and back .. love these tyres!
    Exhaust- pro circuit t-4 slip on
    Suspension – re valaved front forks and set up by pro moto
    Brakes, artrax 270mm front rotor, artrax 240mm rear, hell performance braided lines front and back
    Drivetrain- ranthal 14-51 sprockets, DID x ring chain

    That’s about all the interesting stuff and I got future plans
    – strip the motor down and make it a freak, cam, raise the compression ratio, head work .. the good stuff
    – matching carby work to suit the engine work
    – steg pegz
    -maybe a sticker kit … maybe
    – twin air power flow air filter
    – FMF mega bomb header, FMF 4.1 end section – all titanium
    – sakui battery ( apparently the tits when it comes to battarys )

    So I only got one pic so far but here she is

    I love the rookies outlook on the whole racing thing. B). Not only am I mad enough to think about going more than 4 hours flat out but I want to do it on a evil monster that could rip my face off at any moment. Lol. Love your work mate!!!

    If you want pain banoweera has it in spades. Be gentle on those poor rocks. :laugh: I think you raced there In the sprint series so you know what it is like. It is the home of pinch flats if you ride hard. Give it hell for us old farts on 250’s. 😆

    Yea raced 2 rounds there so far, first round had a cracker but 2nd round not so good … 3rd corner 1st race got way out of line and we went for a trip over the hangers with a cartwheeling 450x chasing me, knocked the wind out of me and thought I broke my ankle but all good now haha
    I installed some nice new heavy duty tubes as I’ve been there 2 times and had 4 flats … safe to say I am now pretty good at tube changes haha hopefully won’t have to do that tomorrow
    Mate can do but what’s this crap about been on 250’s ! I’ve been reading your thread with great interest !

    You do realise that the likes of cory and LC think we have gone just a little soft with the whole 250 thing. Well it sound like you are very experienced with the rock at uralla. I hope the motorcycle gods will be shining on you with some dust suppression as low visibility and rocks don’t mix.
