Hmmm no one has mentioned the 310 Husky?? any reason?
Yeah someone told me to by a TTR but it weights 131 kg!! Seeing as I often ride alone and have to get the bike on and off the trailer by myself 30kg extra is a lot. I once got trapped under my crappa bc I slipped putting it on the trailer and the whole 145kg fell on my back.
Then that same day it fell over in the trailer while driving home and I couldn’t lift it up.Thankfully I’d thought to change into a short tight black denim skirt and low V neck shirt after my ride…..needless to say I didn’t have to pick it up OR tie it down
But I’d rather not rely on random men driving by to pick my bike up for me :laugh: :laugh:
I rode a KLX250 and that was comfy but when it came to the tight single stuff it was a bit too bulky. Was probably just me though.

PTW
:laugh: I see you’ve heard about my riding style :laugh: I just like to see the track from different angles thats all.
The only thing that puts me off a Yamaha is someone told me that the older models have cheap rims and crappy brakes. Seeing as I tend to um take the harder route up hills I’m worried it might be a bit delicate for me. Is this true? I could get a Husky
KTM is a possibility why oh why do they have to be such an ugly color!?!?!

What a great thread. My parents (sorry guys) where HUGE music nuts for all the stuff from the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s. I had a record player up till the age of 16 bc thats all I needed as I only had vinyl to listen to anyway. So the body might be young but the mind is old
Kiss , Pink Floyd, ACDC , The Skyhooks, The Bee Gee’s back to the Beatles, Hermins Hermits etc.
Murph. popping a tab and listening to music :laugh: love it.
But what about the folk stuff
America?
John Denver?
The Seekers?
Best taken with weed I think rather than LSD :laugh: :laugh:[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm4BrZjY_Sg[/video]
After that wrap it sounds like something I’ll have to do then :laugh:
hmmm if its that physically demanding I might give my knee a few more weeks of healing then. Still having twice weekly physio from my last riding experience
.My struggle is over :woohoo:
It seems there is a complicated appeals prosses required when you want to challange a decision made by my MOF (Minister for Finance).
It involves lots of complaining (by me), showing the MOF the cost of fixing said clunker compared to possible retail value (stuff all), and finally crying (trust me guys if you cried for your MOF she would give you anything
).So the MOF has agreed its time to let the clunker just die. Strip what parts I want off it and take the rest to the Motor recylers.
I kind of lost it when I was fitting the parts I’d ordered and the bolt for the speedo just spun around in the plastic when I tried to fit a Nyloc nut to it. Not only that but the cable for the speedo was the wrong one and wouldn’t fit. :angry:
But I really lost the plot when I put the new handbars on and realised that um the old ones weren’t that bent ..no….it was the WHOLE FRONT END of the bike that is bent!!
That was it for me. I was on the phone to the MOF in full stage three appeals (aka crying my eyes out)
So any suggestions of what I should and shouldnt salvage off it? Or does anyone think they want the engine (would make a seriously high powered go cart

Just keeps dragging bike bits out all over the place :laugh:All very handy bits too
Great work guys,,, get the chinger back together and go from there OG
Lots of people would have given up on it way earlier than you :whistle:Cheers
:laugh: I wont give up on it !
My Minister for Finance passed a ‘One Bike Law’ that states, as long as there is one motorcycle under my ownership (or any of the other family members ownership…slippery bugger) no other motorcycles will be financed until the current motorcycle has been disposed of for a sum of money that the Minister finds acceptable.
He added in ‘sum of money’ bc I was thinking about walking away from it. So you see not fixing the bike is akin to agreeing never to ride again.Haven’t actually told the Minister how much it is costing to fix though
I’ll wait till I’ve sold it to break that news…..I’m not totally stupid :laugh:
