    What a Day! (pics of my day on XR500)

    well guys! The day is over, im dead as but man i had some fun, after taking the XR500Z out to some local track i have returned with
    photos
    missing 1x chain link (fixed by replacing with lockwire)
    missing front axle nut (just kept riding, didnt look to be going anywhere)
    brand new virgin Supertrapp falling off the back of her! (gunna need a stronger bracket)
    missing 1x seat bolt
    and who knows how many other bolts she shook off!

    anyways heres some pics.
    left to right:
    1)making a chain link joiner cover thing out of lockwire as mine went AWOL.
    2)me splashing some water roost at the photographer (Shadey!)
    3)trying to wheelie the beast (man i just cant do it properly, i pussy out every time too low, ah well, practise... also the clutch starts slipping and i am not even using it )
    4)trying to hang the rear out as far as i was willing(long way to go yet)
    5)Shadeys first smaller wheelie
    6)last one unfortunatly we missed the wheelie bit which was awesome and high as but he got all crooked and came down just about falling into us!

    When I got mine it had twin pipes one down each side finished off with a coby on each. Soon ditched that setup and brought a genuine article funny that I got more grunt from it with the proper system.

    Just purchased! Brand spanking new XR500 header system (stock im told, dang) so no more old welded up pipe etc, this one with the new supertrapp should see me a sealed system finally!

    And yeah FF mate! im just hoping i can replace all the bolts that are missing in time for this weekend aswell as get an alloy welder to weld a bracket onto my supertrapp so it doesnt fall off again. Other then that we are good.
