If it's the nobbly scorpion then that's what I have as well.
Feels like you're riding over a never ending cattlestop (err without the sliding).

Those are the ones!!
Thats almost exactly what Sam said!
Your new bike had a bit of a baptism of fire Wednesday night!....nice nice bike btw

[cruza]

Heading out after lunch to make up for the wnr........ awesome day out there. probably round the bays and head for fav' pub over the da hill cell is 0212346602. any slackers who aren't workin like me welcome

[brp]

The new Pig is one awesome tidy beast!!
Sam has got himself one hot bike....but yeah the bikes not the only thing thats hot atm!!(gotta work at getting the starting technique sorted)
He mite need some tips from you or budda.....

Its running very aggressive Pirelli Scorpions - they must just be on the verge of road legal!

We sooo owe you a drink brp!!!

"Nice action"

Mine came shod with Scorpions knobblies (wonder if standad kit) thought they were great when hooned over to port levie

Now to make it go oink oink - nice long strokes till the kick start goes hard
- pull in decomp lever and gently run the kickstarter down 1/4 to 1/2 a stroke - while still having the decomp lever held in come back up 1/4 to a half and release the decomp lever - the pig is ready to be started (as a guide when the kickstart lever comes up it should be (around) in line with the bottom of the large circle cut out of the frame to house the large nut holding the motor in) you will know when its right cause it will feel so easy - no need to have the force of kicking a bigbore 2 stroke - more just pushing a lever down

Always have no throttle what so ever - idle is meant to be 1400 RPM (high eh and obvious hard to gauge with no rev counter) - so if you find it hard to start tweak the idle up (left side of bike)

Enjoy U2

Yep, pretty much everyone had expressions like that as we realised it was moving towards us much much faster than we thought!

Glad no one was hurt, especially Sam with his bit of impromptu cross country. Did get a bit worried seeing the lightning hit next to the road alot of you were on

Yeah, I think it was more a case of trying to portray confidence! and actually feeling like "Oh shit!"

Who has the rice pudding?? I want some!!!

[Footless]

Hey all, haven't been around for a few weeks but the first lady and I are planning to attend next week for the last one of the season.
Do we have a destination yet?
Really looking forward to it!
