Well Kat I can’t wait to tomorrow night being invited into the inner sanctum of the OBT APC team and getting to share the final preparation and last night will be awesome

Welcome Burnsy, Coffs easing back into it with a 530 :laugh: you will be right wait for the STM to get on board the crown prince of Coffs
There is a big ride there in Nov that is worth putting your hand up for.
Hey how did you find OBT?TB
Ollie wrote:Yep I can see both points of view. the majority of sales of bikes goes to Plonkers like us :laugh: who really are probably better off on a 4T. When a 2T shits itself maybe $1500 to rebuild ? If a 4T goes big well the dollars are twice that amount. With the reduced emissions of the new 2T’s I cant see nothing but a rosey future for the 2T and the slow demise of those god awful smelly loud 4 strokes :laugh:Just my opinion
PS that GG 300 is very very Noice !

Blah Blah Blah :laugh: That doesnt answer my question to your statement that was “One day the japs will realise the way of the future is the 2T ” How does that dribble answer my question mate

Glad to see him back on the bike, he certainly is a tough cookie.
Hey don’t knock stalking until you have tried it :whistle: Factoryphil, Chicken and I spent two weeks at Alice in 2008 as official Honda factory race team members (drove trucks, looked after customer race bikes, drank piss etc
) and I am sure I speak for the other two when I say you won’t find two more down to earth, fun, honest, tough guys then Ben and Damien Grabham. They are championsTB
And then sold it

They have just reduced them to $269 as well :blink: ummm I am away from home at the moment, easier to ask forgiveness then permission eh :laugh: :laugh:
TB
What do you mean by the 3 year bracket TB? As in no use after 3 years?
Your fluoro one will keep you safe from hunters in State Forests!
Yeah the shells have life can’t remember if it’s 2 or 3 years but it’s three for me. I like the fluoro one but I havent bought a helmet for 6 months so I better get another
What’s wrong with having 9 helmets anyway, I gave three away TB

How is a two stroke the way of the future? Or even a 4 stroke? Ummm you would think the money making marketing giants like Yamaha, Honda etc that are into EVERYTHING already that makes them money would be into producing a two stroke if there was really major market demand. Think about it honestly, they have the technology (it hasn’t changed since they stopped or since JC played fullback for Jerusalm) Maybe a it’s a small niche market that is already covered by the 5 odd euro makers that are covering it? I can’t help but think if there was a true demand they would be into it. Pride doesn’t pay the bills and they are only in it for coin don’t kid yourself the Japs have back flipped on everything over the years.
Just my thoughts
TB
Or is it a conspiracy :laugh:
