I am with you rebore.

Normally if I can smell 2 stroke fumes I am having a good time. Not so with the whipper snipper :S

It looks promising here this morning with only scattered cloud but yesterday dawned clear and it was pissing down by lunch time. So who knows. :laugh:

I am also guessing that the whipper snipper/brush cutter is a Sthil.

I think the key here guys is to haggle. If you find a good price online go and ask your local shop what deal they can do. They may not be able to match it but may come close enough to get your money anyway. If they blow you off grab that online deal and enjoy the saving, their loss.

GOLD,,,good call Scotty……fair enough.. a dealer that is prepared to haggle, wants your business.

And I just read up TBs post about the Tenere and he seems to have sourced a fair bit of gear for it from overseas. Hypocrite.

I would say that statement is a bit harsh LC.

The only thing on the whole bike that was bought OS by TB was the screen. ONLY because none where available in Australia at the time, that was after going to Suttos for advice first.

That dial dodad thing, was bought of a guy in Brisbane who frequents XT660.com

So $179 out of a couple of thousand dollars is a small percentage really.

Hard call in my book, that one mate.

Great debate guys :laugh: Probably one of the most hotly debated topics ever on OBT. It has averaged one post every 7 minutes since the original post this morning.

[Mick DMember]

I would suggest that it is a TY175 as a guess.

[Mick DMember]

Excellent.

I don’t think it was getting heated, It would probably be one of the more sensible debates I have seen on here as a matter of fact.
