Hey Razz, I was actually thinking of you when I was out there. Next time I come up I will give you a shout. I am slowly piecing together a loop. Others have been out and about as well,(wish they would do some track maintenance as well )
Been commuting on the XR for over a month, first ride on the Gasgas for nearly 6 months.

I took the Gasser out on the trails behind my olds place at Maria SF. I took revenge with a chain saw on the log that brought me unstuck and broke my collarbone and ribs , then cleaned up the rest of the mx track and cleared some logs down scribbly gum rd. I was knackered by the time I got home. Fitness still an issue and getting some strength back . I will sleep well tonight :blush:

P3 (pirie Products) make good gear,highly recommend you go thru the Aussie distributor tho (Trooper Lu) as P3’s customer service is woeful,like 8 weeks and several e-mails to get a pipe guard for the GG :angry:
Ollie
awsome report boys,wish i was there with you. Had many a hangover from the Willawarrin pub in my younger days. :blush:
ollie
currently running Penrite semi synthetic in the GG get it from Repco.

OK Burnsey Hope your sitting down :laugh: From an Australian online suzuki dealer and if the part number is correct (32900-44E6 ?) then its going to cost $915 :ohmy:
best to make a phone call to a local Suzi dealer and make sure the part number is correct
The US site I was thinking of is Alpha – sports most of the CDI’s I saw on there were in the mid $500 dollar range as well
Ollie
Burnsy check your PM ‘s
Ollie
you may have to do a cross reference check google is your friend (something like alpha suzuki comes to mind) might be lucky with 95-98 RM250 :unsure:
When I bought my RMX it already had the CDI changed out by the previous owner, I might have a lead on a near complete RMX for you as well I will get back to you when I find out.

haha no problems mate
took me a couple of days to work that one out :blush: still sometimes you forget and it hits you hard.
“I reckon the ribs are worse than the collar bone :S
ollie
oh man I know that feeling
like said before grab a pillow and squeeze before you sneeze :laugh: you also have to control the volume and flow of the sneeze if you know what I mean, not a quick sharp sneeze but a drawn out aaaaarrrrrrchOOOOOO000oooooooo !! ps dont have a smart arse teenage daughter within earshot when it happens as they cant help themselves and crack up laughing everytime :laugh:
ollie
ride fast enough that you dont fall off
The falling off is the part that slows you down and gets in your head :blink: smooth and in control is the way uses a lot less energy. When waiting for your team mate relax have something to eat and drink,make sure you have a piss, when your racing you dont need to think about all the other stuff you gotta concentrate on being smooth. Enjoy it for what it is,remember your priorities as well, family friends income,your there to have fun and a challenge,your not racing for “sheep stations”
Ollie
surely someone could draw one up and get a water jet or plasma cut. looks like there could be a demand
ollie
How good a Bloke is Strucky !! you da man

Bugger off and get a life! 👿So I’ve got 6 to 8 weeks of no riding (f*ck it!), 6 to 8 weeks to shop for LOTS of armour, new goggles (they got screwed over by some stray vine), new helmet (smashed the peak and scratched the shit out of it in “the incident”). 6 to 8 weeks.
Razz.
Razz mate I feel your pain man :sick: I only got to spend an hour at kempsey before being carted off to Port Macquarie but seemed longer because the ER had about 5 ferals all A.D.D going off tap before I lost the plot and told em to get the F@#k out of there ! :angry: amazing what the adrenaline does for you I only had to ride about 7 km’s to get home but it sure as hell wasnt pleasant
spent 7 days at port then another 2 at ST Vincents getting a plate put in which they should have done at Port. Been 12 weeks now but still not right getting there tho hope you recover quicker than me.
great photies and Vids I know that it would have been awsome riding and to help support a charity even better. well done I got a bit of a fright when I scrolled down the photies and a big rude Dude closeup jumped out at me :woohoo:

price is a little high I reckon
I suggested WR250R also as seat hight is 60mm lower
and very Good on the road.
