Guess what...... theres a big red and white pig in my shed

Rode her home this evening, and she felt waaaay better and sounded sooo farkin quiet(engine).
Just gotta do some bedding in rides.

Many many Thanks to my mate for doing the meke job, a many an hour was spent making sure she was done up Right.

i cant believe how much crap was pulled out and replaced, it would have been close to a full on headfuck siezure, lucky my mate said it dont sound right and told me to park it up.
anyways she fixed and ready to booggie

Give those watercooled fancy pants bush pigs a drag, (once it's run in).
They may be quite surprised at the filthy ol air cooled pig.

fark i reckon, shes got a shit load of toke for a 600

which is great cause like budda sez "its easier to gain horsepower than to lose weight" and the pigs got plenty of that to get my fat arse around

Yes!! we have a replacement XR for son Sams one that was stolen!

Rego lapsed but that will be easily sorted,extra set of rims/tyres,spare exhaust & few other bits

Last bike was in Alexandra this bike was two minutes from my house lol

The guy was 5"4" and had to put the bike on a large block of wood to kick her over....
