    I need an incentive!

    The 640 is in several pieces as I "service" it (loose interpretation of that verb) and I need a reason to pull finger and spend money on tyres and bits and stuff.

    So......... what I need is a ride in the next 3 or 4 weeks or so to aim for, who's in for the west coast, just a day so the usual, aim for Kawhia and usually miss but have fun on the way.

    Any suggestions, volunteers, dates and promises of attendance.



    Brent, you out there????







    Well, I'm waiting!

    oh dear...reads like someone has the winter chills chorusing through his veins...

    snap out of it, seems like you've got a couple of friends that wanna ride with you, sort your shit, change your attitude and remember the fun you've had in the past.....double it and that will be the fun you are still to have.

    C'mon you lot there's not a lot of incentive being provided....I need a ride planned!


    Basic service is done and we are stripped to the basic running gear, both suspension units to be out and serviced tomorrow, service the carb and re-jet for the new pipe.

    I need it back on wheels tomorrow night so I can get it to the exhaust guy to make up a short adaptor for the new muffler (bodging a SXC muffler on).

    After that it's set up the lights properly, new tyres and back on the road.

    I have a cunning plan a foot.
    So cunning, that you could pin a tail on it,and call it a cunning thing.

    It involves staying at an exclusive get away, and some imprompture beach racing on a private beach. Some gravel, a short farm crossing and beer.

    Me n Kanny are moving into our new home next w/end, so it will be 2-3weeks after that.
    Cunning enough for ya

    Ride a DR650 is an Incentive

    Hi Iain, you can ride my spare DR while the KTM is off the road, after a wee while that would be plently of incentive to get yours back on the road.
    Missed you on the MMM, you would have loved the sleeping quarters at the camp ground in Matawai, 8 of us all snug in a f..kn shipping container.

    I'm keen for a ride in couple of weeks when your back on the road. Woodhill next week.

    Cheers
    Al
