    He's got a special mud filter in his shed now so the bikes don't get dirty.
    KTM make it especially to stop other bikes getting dirty , they call it an EXC200.

    Tell you what NOT to use: an old, metal fuel can.
    With rusty bits.

    On a 100 mile dirt ride.
    In your back pack.



    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    True story! The bike was only a couple of days old when those shots were taken. I made sure I got Big Dave to take some shots for posterity, before it got all used looking!

    If only that were true...seems like there's always at least one of the buggers that needs a wash!

    If it's that much hassle I'll look after one of them for you - but so it needs a really good wash I'll have to get it really dirty first.

    The getting dirty bit I have no problems doing myself, but company and inspiration are always welcome!

    Now you got me thinking about a 'bikini bike wash'... I'm thinking BABES not fellow adventure riders prancing about in their grots... ewww! :slap:

    Garry where was that pic taken?

    I also understand you have been doing some work with one of the guys I work with in New Plymouth (Garry) - a small world. Shame you had bike probs last weekend, I would have liked to have seen the HP2

    Was taken on Kiwi Rd weekend before last Mike, part of our Awakino jaunt. The HP2 is going to be fine. Germans have dispatched a new wiring loom and central processor, should have it all back together in a week or two. Lookign to make it for the Motu ride mid-August. Yep, small world all right, was talking with Garry about you the other day. Good to hear he and the family came through the tornado thing relatively unscathed.
