There are actually 4×450`s in the top 10 at the moment (1 aprilia & 3 WRFs)
The rest of the ten is made up of 609 Katos :blink:

I think next year will see even more 450`s in the overall field.

Oh crap that is bad news – considering I just bought a Kawasaki.

I will give Cessnock ago Eagle – I hope that I dont need to though

I find Cessnock heaps better service, Cherie up there has found me parts that Newcastle have told me are UNAVAILABLE,,,, figure that one out :blink:
And she gave me a discount as well which cancelled out the extra fuel to drive up there

Whenever you need something mate for the KLR, give them a ring, you might be surprised

[Dwayne OMember]

TEEnCEE signs do the OBT sticker kits Smithy,,,, TB will be able to give you more detail!!
They also did Chops DRZ & recently KD`s Motard DR

[Dwayne OMember]

Sad for anyone to have this kind of thing happen whether business or personal :huh: :dry:

But as for parts etc, I prefer to give them a wide berth as I have had nothing but runarounds in the past :angry:

I go to Kawasaki Connection Cessnock first now

[Dwayne OMember]

:ohmy: That is soooooo unfair Murph :angry:

What an awsome spoy that is, and you get 6 weeks solo too :blink:

Half ya luck you lucky bugger, have a good time

[Dwayne OMember]

You sure are having some hard luck of late AB :blink:
You can honestly say that you have given the TM the initiation of fire though :laugh: How many MurphsBergs can it stand,,,

Keep at it mate, you will get it sorted.

[Dwayne OMember]

Mick, We also have some lady members that we call Bullettes :laugh: figure that Old Cows don`t sound too inviting :laugh:

Sue is more than welcome to join up here too, she could maybe hook up & ride with Menace`s beter half Sammy(Trubble) too.

Plus another KLX rider is always welcome here in my book

Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]

:ohmy: Isn`t that PINK QUAD Puddles` ??? :laugh:

Nice collection Smithy, all look like weapons!
Thanx for sharing

See you on the trails one day.

[Dwayne OMember]

You are becoming quite an expert now Murph :laugh:

Great pic, bet he cried when he did that :blink:

[Dwayne OMember]

Welcome aboard Mick,
So you have come across from the Green Forum I guess ??? I am a member there too as you probably have worked out

There are some Vicco members on here that would enjoy your company on some rides down that way for sure,,,, They are a funny bunch too, led by our resident Superhero MENACE (Spidy) :laugh:

Cheers

P.S. Don`t forget to let the guys on here know what ya ride

[Dwayne OMember]

Wonder what happened to the last pic, Motos Pie Mod ????

Was it a bit rude Murph ??? :laugh:

Mal. I had a pm for a phone call to Murph to assist with the Photobucket stuff, They had it almost licked, just couldn`t quite get the multiple pic thing, so I helped em out

Looks like you are now out of a job :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

If yesterday was a guide, this ride will be a bit warm too I think :blink:

Plenty of fluids will be on the agenda :laugh:
