    I think I'll leave this here... whoever this poor bugger was, he strikes a cord with me (mainly coz I've had to get myself out of the shit my stupidity put me into, plenty of times)

    Call me a grumpy old fecker but... (cue Nordie any minute)

    His tyres are completely inappropriate for the riding he's doing and I'm surprised he doesn't put his back out using that technique to pick it up.

    But you're not old.

    Better tyres or a lighter bike would have been easier...
    But he's having a proper adventure

    I wouldn't sell mine for $5000, for $6000 maybe. But then again, mine had a few things done to it since I got it and that's not counting the hh-racetech cartridges that are about to go in. I am surprised nobody has clicked the buy-now yet. It's one of 3004 made, last time I checked they weren't making any more.

    Well, I am not an old hand and this is not really knarly off road stuff. But the R80 went around this track quite well. It's mainly firm sand with some softer sections around the corners. I went around a few times and managed to stay ahead of another rider on a dirt bike. I talked to him later and he has been winning quite a few races in his age group. I forgot to ask which primary school he went to, but he said he was eight.

    Given that R90S's don't come up for sale that often, and even less so in bits there's no real price indicators. So that means, whatever the seller wants for it, or the buyer is willing to pay.

    Hi guys, while we were away I saw a post on a thread, maybe ADV rider, showing a shortened torque arm on an Airhead GS.
    I can't find it
    Does anyone know where it is. ?

    Cheers
