Forgot to mention the bugs...

yeah those bugs were massive, and I mean were, just finished cleaning my lid, four cloths later.

Short and sweet. Down to the Waterford for an 'average' latte. You guys looked pretty happy

Ha average latte, I got home and wife made me a great flat white, just FMS. Great way to top off a minta ride.

frikken snob!

WHAT who's snobbing who?

Finally replacing the 9 eh? Is it green?

Most likely not but he can spray paint it to match the 9! lol

Yep cheers ladies! All mint, though I did manage a few exhaust scratches on Valley Rd

Nothing a bit more ground clearance won't fix...........

Ouch, nevermind you can always get fuschia ...

milikng cows... and sister come to visit to drop off my TT250. bit of work to do to get it running but is mint

noice, though I dunno if 'work to do', and 'it's mint', go together

Almost got my CR in mint condition now, but nobody else is keen to ride found it does pretty huge wheelies in the back yard a few nights ago

compression? right amount of fuel? big enough spark at the right time? if its been stored for ages its probly one of the first two, if you aint got a compression tester just clean the carb and see if it makes a difference.

clean??? ummmm.. dont do clean! I just get a big hammer and beat it till it works.

probably 5 yrs or so,

seriously. I used to own it.. It was my play bike back in the 90s. I gave it to my brother in law when I brought the XRs.

It was always a pig of a thing but when it goes it goes REAL good. just got to argue with it for a while. My brother in law used it a couple of times down the beach and then threw it under his house. It fell over and was sitting in the damp and upsdie down for years. so just needs a bit of a clean up and then it should live again. The oil in it. (all about 200mls of it) was like glue when I took it out. everything will just need stripping down and cleaning and putting back together again. I was hopeful to get it firing though before I do much else.
