Well my bike has been off the road now for about 3 weeks and I am hating it! The forks have got some serious stone chips and after looking for an easy (and cheap) way to fix them, I finally got some second hand ones from OZ. Hopefully they are here by the weekend and I can get back out there...:niceone:

Its a 250. To buy new stanchions was going to cost me $450 each. I managed to get a set of whole forks from a wreckers in OZ for $500. I just hope they are in good condition - its a bit of a gamble buying them sight unseen...

Hope it goes well :) It's horrible not having a bike!

I haven't done a proper road trip for over 6 months now... Just about to go insane(er) esp. with summer on it's way!!

Thanks for the offer. Hopefully the ones that arrive will be in good condition and get me back on the road again. I envy all you people I saw riding today..
