Yeah this is sounding good. Lets see who can get one in the most obscure place and get a pic.

Yeah sounds like a good idea,we did a similar thing with our newspaper,we got people to take the paper on holidays and get photographed reading it in front of a famous landmark.

[Mick DMember]

Yeah I had both the 250 and 350. My old man gave me the same ultimatum regarding a job.

I saw an XR400 for sale at Rock MC at Port Macquarie with Old Bull guard stickers on it.

TB is right big bore XR’s certainly lend themselves to wheelstanding. I used to wheelstand my XR630 all the time untill I flipped it and dusted myself up a bit. Now I am a bit hesitant, I seem to have lost my nerve a bit and dont pull long balance point wheelies as often on the 650.
Getting the feel of “balance point” is necessary if you want to change gears on the back wheel,which you will need to do if you intend to pull a wheelie for any distance.

I always sit down and wheelie and have never really mastered stand up ones.I have seen some great stand up wheelies but one of the best wheelies I have seen on a ride was TB on the fiddy at Kempsey.It went on and on and we would have had to been doing over 100kmh.

Yeah the stickers where made by Phat graphics from Wauchope,who did the OBT guard stickers for us.
Yeah the paint will peel and blister,but we have a good supply of CAT yellow :laugh:

Yep that is the engine that had the top end noise, it has only had the cam and rockers replaced.
It is running sweet now,no noises but it does blow a tiny bit of smoke at times. It starts first kick with no choke and idles sweetly.

[Mick DMember]

No and yes.

[Mick DMember]

After much blood, sweat, tears, head scratching, beers,phone calls and arguments :laugh:

The completed article

Thanks to all for their input into this project,now watch Tripper go out and mess it up :woohoo:

Good for you mate,if you are happy to do that, I am happy for you. I personally haven’t even been on a small percentage of the trails available around here yet.
