    Definitely clutch Mick! Might have to look at bolting on a postie bike centrifugal clutch to settle it down a bit!

    Let us know how it goes for you, I’ve liked the Shercos since I rode the 250 a couple of years ago. Been tossing around the idea of a 300 for my next dirt bike – of the new /near new bikes I’d like I think these are my pick.

    That is coming from someone that TB reckons is also “punching above his weight”.

    Good luck in the future! ;)

    Mick you are so outclassed by your missus – but you know that! I reckon you and Drew should start a club!

    Oh, by the way, Hi to Mrs Drewpy! smiley-happy020.gif

    That is actually very well said. I agree with his statements 100%. There is absolutely no excuse for the carry-on that we saw over a film. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Boss!

    Mine would be my 92 Suzuki DR250, mostly for sentimental reasons. Went everywhere, did everything, comfy to ride. On the hunt for a DR350 to be my bush bike now! That said, I enjoyed my 07 WR250F.

    Oh you poor “old” thing! And tall too! Next you’ll be handsome, have a beautiful wife and daughter, great job and lovely house! ;-)

    Mate, not being a tall rider myself I can only pass on my experience from others, but the consensus seems to be that, yes, KTM and Husaberg seem to suit taller riders. Husky’s tend to feel cramped, but tall bars and high rise seat helps. Bar risers also good.

    In terms of a tall seat, a few blokes I know have modded the stock seat with foam they bought themselves. The downside is that the seat often ends up very flat from front to back. Oh, and your shorter mates won’t want to borrow your bike!

    I’ll shut up now! Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

    Haha! That’s awesome Scotty! What’s Billie, a Golden Retriever? Beautiful dog mate! Not bad imagery either considering the bouncing around it was getting!

    In my experience it is best to have gaiters, and the more rubber-based the better. I think the harder plastic ones scratch the forks. I have not had any experience with the neoprene ones but as the posts above indicate, you’d have to be pretty careful not to allow any buildup of crud in there. It will surprise you how much the gaiters will save the forks, even from small stones. That said, JRD once had to replace a fork on an XR400 when a rock hit thrown from the rear wheel of another bike hit the fork through the gaiter. And that my friends is the extent of my wisdom for today! B)

    I use petrol. Just a teaspoon in and swill it around and tip it out then slide it on. Never had a problem.

    Same here, but I do also use grip wire. It often helps to wrap a layer of insulation tape on the bars before putting the grips on – better for removal.

    Well TB, let’s just say that when the chips are down you’re on the list of people I reckon I’d want in my corner!

    Must get my shit together and tee up a ride – no deep creek crossings though!

    Deadliest Catch right there boys!

    Did you have trouble swallowing with your nuts retracted so far??!

    I take my hat off to you!
