cmarico Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Gday everyone. Chris here and getting back into riding after a break to have kids etc. Last bike was a 93 KDX200. That bike copped it and kept coming back for more, year after year, without me ever doing a top end. One day I decided to do some maintenance, stuffed it, and she sent chunks out the exhaust. That was the end of that. Got into roadbikes for a bit. Got out of roadbikes. But the dirt bug never left me. Just picked up an 08 exc-e300. Under 100hours, TSP head, fresh top end, tubeliss and a few other bits and bobs. Living in Coronaville, means the best she's gotten was a putt putt around the block. Can't wait to get out of iso and see how it goes. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmarico Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hey splints Yep rec reg is all sorted, though I need to sort an issue with the lights which is frustrating as I can only troubleshoot with the motor running and the neighbours tend not to care for it too much 😁 Brownie points shouldn't be a problem, she's practically pushing me out the door. Think she can tell I'm itching to get out of the house haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you break down its handy to use the bike as a torch to walk back to the car with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 I remember being checked @ Larby a few years ago, young bloke had a Honda CR 125 with racing number plate on, he had drilled a hole mounted a small halogen light on it, which i'm pretty sure didn'y work. Cop didn't bat an eyelid & said have a good ride fellas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
