    When I was 17 I rode a RD250LC from Wauchope to Sydney in cyclonic conditions, wearing ugg boots, jeans and a padded Tycon Jersey, the Ugg boots were a sodden wad around my ankles, the jersey weighed about 10kg once it was full of water and I near froze to death. :pinch:

    As far as shit gear goes, two notable examples come to mind.

    Firstly a pair of Oneal boots that lasted 2 months before the “leather” delaminated and both soles started to fall off. Cassons (The Australian Distributor) wouldn’t warrant them as they reckoned the boots had been water logged. I refuse to buy any Oneal gear since then. :angry:

    The 2nd was a pair of Rjays wet weather pants that didn’t even last the 2 hour trip to Buladelah before they split in the crotch. To Mudntar’s credit they gave me my money back. :)

    Ha! Now you can blame your crash at Wauchope on an incorrectly functioning throttle!

    cant believe how hard it is to find parts for such a common bike.

    They are common, trouble is they are a tough little bike and most of them are all still goers!

    I will have a rat around this arvo for the top triple clamp.

    I bought a set of 2nd hand big wheels and a longer swingarm for our KX85 off ebay in the states. $300 for the parts and $350 for the bloody freight!

    It is off my daughters 06 model. Her’s has an after market top triple clamp on it. If I can find it, it is yours if you want it.

    I am pretty sure I have a top triple clamp of a KX85 you can have for free, if it is any use to you.

    Pulled the XR’s pivot pegs apart, replaced a broken spring with an old one I found in the shed, greased them and put them back together again.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Actually after the Scrapheap ride and the accidents that happened on route to Comeroo I might stick with the 640. It is pretty good on the rough high speed stuff. Just ask Mick :ohmy: :woohoo: After he rode the most intense 100km ever on the NX :laugh: :laugh: Funny stuff that. I looked around to make sure he was still behind me and all was ok, only to see this faint glow, which i thought was his head light 😆 but it was actually his eye balls reflecting the afternoon sun :laugh: :laugh: Funny stuff!!

    Laugh all you like laughing boy! I don’t think I have ever been that scared on a motorbike in my life! That was probably the most unenjoyable 100kms I have ever endured on a bike. I was expecting all manner of wildlife to appear out of your dust and take me out. And you are right, I bet my eyes were popping out of my head, similar to the Toe Cutter’s in Mad Max… :woohoo:
