hey fellas, Dave only wears those gloves to protect his surgeon like hands from the filth that comes with working on a honda :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I actually heard something like that said last night, I figured he was pissed so I didn’t hit him with a rabbit killer.

Continued…

Obviously Tripper no longer trusted me with the job of restoring the XR,either that or he couldn’t wait to ride it. He employed KTMBULL and KTMRAT to take the engine out of his current bike and put it into the newly painted frame.
Here is the old beast.

She is very rough around the edges but the engine is sweet.
It has a full Staintune stainless exhaust. A 630 kit with a Ballards Big finned head.
And numerous other blingy bits and pieces

We had a working bee on it last night in my shed and the plan was to swap all the good bits over to another frame.
Here is a frame I prepared earlier.

Also it was decided that the swingarm was in better condition on the donor bike too, so it had to come out.

I was very concerned over Dave’s choice of gloves though. He is a KTM freak, it disturbs me to imagine what else he uses those gloves for.

Dr Dave (AKA KTMRAT) preparing the patient for its new heart.

Engine specialist Bill ,preparing to tear out the power plant for transplant.

Tripper didn’t do much at all, he pretty well stood in the background, drinking beer and picking his nose.
I suppose he did through in the occasional one liner.

Dave shows off the progress so far. (wish he would take those stupid KTM gloves off)

No matter where you leave a tray of oil, someone either ends up kicking it or dropping a bolt in it, these two idiots dropped two bolts in it, before they thought to move it. The rum was just starting to kick in by this stage.

The engine,ready to rip!! Heavy bitch too, I don’t mind telling you.

Me and Bull thought something was funny.

It was at this stage that we downed tools as things were getting silly. It was 10pm and I am sure every swear word and roar of laughter coming out of my shed was being heard by my neighbours. After the boys went on their merry ways, I snuck inside the house to an icy reception from my missus. So you can imagine why I still haven’t told her,they are all coming back tonight to finish the job!!!!!!
Trouble brewing…..

Good to hear you have them and are happy!1 Yeah you will probably have to fiddle with your rear lever and brake pedal positions. I had to when I fitted them to both XR’s.

[Mick DMember]

Yeah that looks phat TB, can’t wait to throw them on my bike and see how it looks and goes. :woohoo:

We will do a ride somewhere if they dont hold it or if the type of event doesn’t suit.
There is a Bago ride gaining momentum this Sunday,I think Itsagas and the Rat are hitting the bush here early Sunday.

So does this mean it’s on this weekend??? Or will it be run in a few weeks?

I just checked the calender of events and the Pony Express is scheduled for Nov 7-8 that is next weekend. Although I am getting conflicting info as to what type of event it will be.I just posted a thread regarding the Pony Express on their website forum,I will see what comes back from that.

and what would Moose do??? Laugh him to death?? HU HU HU HU

While we are on the topic of Moose, he got his nickname way back at school ,because he laughs like that Moose out of rocky and Bullwinkle. Bullwinkle was to long as a nickname so Moose it was.

This is certainly topical today.
