My reintroduction to Adventure riding "86 XR600R" she's in good nick for her age & the local mechanic gave her his seal of approval too. Going to run her through a reg n warrant next week, should be all go!.
My neighbour has had it sitting in his garage for the last 4 years so I plucked up the courage to make an offer that didn't result in injury. When he showed me it it still had the tag from the local Honda dealer for a rebuild it had done 4 years ago and it hasn't moved since. It came with a folder full of history etc so for once in my life I may have not bought a lemon.

Fantastic LoC she's a real beauty

i hope you touched wood when typing lemon

i brought mine with a new slug rings then i had to rebuild it cause they done a shit job. but thats my sob story.
Your one looks a rippa mate, look forward to seeing it on the road and associated gravel

keep up the photos

I think she's purdy as a button!
Wish the bank acc could match the wishlist
todo's
Fix beg steal borrow a kickstarter (sure is an exact science gettin these goin ain't it?) its got one just needs repairing, found one for $157 US
Have a closer look at a crack in the swingarm (one on TM atm $100)
Have fusion engineer fab me a rack for a givi plate
resist the temptation to install a spare hid headlight I have laying about.
stop combing every adv website for parts 25/7
Ignore Transalper pointing me at $200 unbreakable mirrors, $200 ram mounts, bash plates, Suspension upgrades, GPS's... I could go on...think HE thinks I won lotto? (Just kiddin Carl)
Yup rainbow/Molesworth here I come (baby steps)
Body could do with a rebuild first too.

[dino3310]

i got my mirrors from a trade me store at $1 reserve i figure if they brake i'l just get another $1 pair
PM "22manyrides" on ADV rider he might have a few spare kickstarts lying around or even post up on the "call all XR600" thread, those fellas have got all sorts in there mancave's - could be wayyyy cheaper than buying of the net.
nothing wrong with trolling the net i'm quite often looking at shit i cant afford after midnight.
catch up to the NADS there always into some good riding around thoseways might even have some spare parts too

hey the body wont keep up with the XR so just ride till ya F@cked have a rest then ride again

Hi LoC,
Nice pig.
XR mantra is,
Change oil every 1000mile
change oil every 1000mile
change oil every 1000mile
