    Just as well I rode the slow ones before the KTM’s, now I know what fast is, something Honda’s cant do, I just kept on catching up to the Honda’s with Mick the other day, and I wanted to use the top 3 gears as well, but the lead rider kept on getting in the way on a Honda….but you get used to the moving speed bumps, Welcome Dr D, dont listen to them Man, they dont understand, after all they dont ride a KTM do they

    Hey Trailboss Just Joking about the Honda’s being slow Mate….NOT

    Mate I have used Toluene before and you only need to mix about 1 litre to twenty of normal fuel, when I raced I bought the Toly from the local BP Fuel depot and it was as cheap as chips compared to other octane boosters, dont go past the 1 litre to 20 though as it will shorten the life of the rings

    MadMacs, hi there buddy, no mate that is not a 520 it’s the 576 beastie thats the bike right at the top of the post,,,
    Ollie Mate thanks for the Karma Dude and some right back at ya, I learnt a long time ago you can never have too much space because you can never have too many toys, I have a few sheds with all my bikes , boats and cars in corners all over the place, but still need more toys, My friends think I need to go to rehab, but like the song just recently… I say NO NO NO.
    I also think my boys are the luckiest kids around, but I am the luckiest Dad because they love what they do with me and the bikes and it is these times I will cherish and remember forever

    Stay Upright and,,,

    He who dies with the most toys wins

    Guys there is an even easier and safer way to do it and thats freezing water inside it, The trick is to get the dented part of the pipe under the water level and at best the lowest point also and then freeze the pipe in that position, it will not happen it the first freezing session and you will have to thaw out refreeze a few times ,but you will notice that the thing slowly moves out, the biggest technical drama is the missus getting upset about exhaust spooge all over the frozen meat and vegies, so do what I have done and go to the second hand dealer and buy a tuckerbox chest freezer just for exhaust fixing, no burnies this way, no upset missus, and a straight pipe, it is basic physics, water expands as it freezes
    Good luck Guys:) :) ;)

    Which one are you talking about, trees are real hard(the latest effort), but I think embankments( the first one 5 years ago) are a little harder, or so my nephew’s head told us when it spoke to the windscreen, funny that windscreens crack when you hit them with you head hard enough

    Diesels are the handicap we give the rest of the world to make it fair and give them half a chance to stay in front of us
