    Yeeee hhhhhaaarrr!

    I should have gone to the TOMCC meeting today... I didn't

    I should have finished weeding the garden (as if that is ever finished)... I didn't

    I should have cleaned my car - screw that...

    So I finished off Kermit and went for a wee ride.... bwa hahahahah.... I kid you not, everyone should have one of these. If you are in a grump, go ride it, you will be grinning like a loon within a lampost - a man fell off his bicycle trying to get a better look, within a km I got 2 thumbs ups and 1 honk and 3 smiles. Kids fall about laughing - oh - hangon, they do that anyway when they see me on any bike..

    Anyway - Kermits ready for summer... Can't wait for highschool, I'm gunna be the coolest kid there...

    Um - I took a great picture of it but thanks - shes a bit rough in places but its for fun and its so far from 'original' its not worth getting excited and spending too much - just a tidy and try to make it look like the real deal.

    The wiring... gawd.....

    They jump 400mm dirt ramps well

God its a laugh, non damping (I mean none, nada, zip, NOTHING in there at all) front and back and brakes are... well they get a C for attendance but they really aren't paying attention. But wot a hoot, it makes me wanna be bad....

    Well done Paul, thats an awsome ride.
    it bought a tear to my eye, as I had one the same, but when "she" left, "she " took it with her.
    I know that hundreds of learner riders had these wonderfull little machines.
    The green one ws the best looker, I had a red one.
    Ahh the happy memories of the Maverick

    Well done Paul,
    Another wee gem saved, your a right branch of UNICEF, for just one dollar a day, you too can get one of these little beauties back on the road and keep her there.

    I am re-learning the fun of small capacity bikes too, my current fave in my fleet is a wee Monza 500, and before that a flirt with an SRX400. The Mk1 gathers a bit of dust while the wee Monza gets all the attention.

    I like the colour too, it is a little, dare I say... 750 Sport-esq


    You and V have a nice break over Christmas and don't wash the car, it will problably start giving you trouble if you give it love- how many kms now? 300,000?

    Ahh the T model. I used to have one of those, sort of (aborted 1st bucket).

    Makes me feel slack that I haven't finished (or really progressed past gathering bits) on my Stinger.

    Looks good.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
