Cool, I had the pleasure of riding one of these things while I was in Aussie a coupla weeks ago, around their roughest MX track according to my mate who took me there, nice bike, very forgiving, though it was a bit softly suspended for what I was doing with it... :devil2: but not bad when I can hop on one after having not been on a MX track in over 15 years and only have 1/2 doz guys faster than me.....
Congrats man, lemme know if ya need someone to keep her running for ya.... :dodge:

Are you living the dream or what? Bastidge. I've recently started showing my wife pictures of motards combined with lots of useful information (i.e. propaganda) about their importance in developing riding skills that help motorcyclists evade accidents:innocent: I still owe her a bathroom for the race-bike. I feel a new kitchen and dishwasher coming. Three cheers for banks loving me in debt.

I think I might give up drugs and alcohol, and do a bit of exercise. Looks like there might be something in it.

Would a carbon-kevlar g-string clash with the visual aesthetic you're going for there? Safety is a priority.
