    Put a new shock on the car...
    soft surspention it turns towards the
    car easy / hard surspention it turns
    away from the car easy... I will take
    a C spanner out 2morrow and play with
    settings... see if I can fined a medium setting...

    Easy to ride "now"
    Its amazzing on gravel.. just slide it around corners
    but it needs more power or a less grippy rear tyre...Both
    Its surprised me where it will go..I can't pull 6th gear on the road
    its just a bit to fast for saftey..A couple of teeth off the engine
    sprocket should do it... give a nice low 1st...

    A good learning curve....

    I will build another.. Darker style on either a KLR650
    or XT660..

    I'd go for the KLR - then when you go without the car you'll hardly notice the difference

    Klrs aren't CHEAP either. I prefer the term "well priced"
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
