    Going Crazy

    Well my bike has been off the road now for about 3 weeks and I am hating it! The forks have got some serious stone chips and after looking for an easy (and cheap) way to fix them, I finally got some second hand ones from OZ. Hopefully they are here by the weekend and I can get back out there...

    Its a 250. To buy new stanchions was going to cost me $450 each. I managed to get a set of whole forks from a wreckers in OZ for $500. I just hope they are in good condition - its a bit of a gamble buying them sight unseen...

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
