Glad your man enough to admit it

Hey congrats mate, you got some more details on it? What year, where are the pics? I wont make it out to Woodhill for a ride on Sunday, I'm gonna be at TD5 in Taupo.

Although I'm hoping to get the rear suspension rebuilt on the CR this week, in which case I'm taking it with me and riding round Taupo on Sat - bit of a commute for you to come down but you are more than welcome to if you like! Forest riding on Sat, track riding on Sun, life is good sometimes.

(Gonna be nervous as fuck driving down though, imagine crashing and writing off your car, trailer and both bikes in one foul swoop! Damn thats a scary thought . . .)

Gald to hear you've finally scratched your itch and emptied your wallet.

Interesting to see you picked the Honda even though you liked the KX better when you rode them. And how did that compare to the KTM you tested??

Should get my fly wheel weight this week but Danger was a bit busy to do my forks (just rung him). Thats not a problem so I'll put them back in.

Yeh 01 CR's rule. B4 I bought mine (all I could afford) I googled all makes of bikes in about that price bracket and the opinion was that 01 Honda was the best of the Hondas in the surrounding years.

Well it came down to the CR was available (the KX seemed to just go on and on for me waiting for it) and the fact that the KX was an ex race bike just had me worried a little bit. That KTM the guy decided that he didn't want to sell it to me for my offer and tried to sell me a 04 KTM instead (bugger!!). The CR is like new (only done 15 hours) and it has a pipe, bars and tripple clamps with it. So all I want to get is some radiator guards, bash plate, and a flywheel. It came down to yes the bike is older, but it's like new and so that will do me!!

CAn't wait to ride it. I'm really tempted to go to ardmore tomorrow.
