    Fix up your bike, Padmei, it looks like it's been totally Gonzo'ed at some stage.

    I would have thought the MX/SX guys would've liked a bit of extra argy-bargy in the first few corners!

    Cheers, Dave

    More than once, I was watching Nordie's latest vid on Youtube last night and it looked like it was gonzo'd several times last weekend alone. If he's not careful it'll start looking like Woodmans.

    Come on Wolf, get that XT out and do some riding. I'll be up there with my bike in a few weeks, I could take ya some places and scare ya, Or we'll get you getting that front wheel off the ground

    Which is why hand armour that would encourage such bad behaviour is banned...

    Will have to ask any potential purchaser if they are kb members if and when the klr is up for replacement.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    I bought my bike to ride, drop, tinker with & look at - in that order. I'm not into cleaning or having everything looking new & pretty. The ball ends were cut off so the guards would fit betterer.

    Paul was quite amazed when Padmei got the rear off the ground up some of the climbs

    I've got footage from that coalish climb on Waitahu River Road on the way back with both wheels off the ground and Padmei is vertically above them!

    I'm up for it - providing you're up here on a weekend that I don't have the kids. Those weekends also correspond with pay week, so I'm likely to have the money for fuel...
