[idl1975]

i hope he never runs anyone over that would be nasty and just think of all the furry animals that would be stuck to his tyres i wonder if it would pass an MOT

What the hell happens when you encounter a few meters of clear tarmac????

Holy tenere batman, that's a nice XTZ!

cheers, i spent a fair amount of time this summer restoring it and modifiy it
she's running open pod filters and arrow race can so makes lovely sucky and blowy noises
i've made panniers up for it meself from alu sheet and angle, just need to brace the rear crash bars and sort he mounts out
now in the process of sorting the fueling out, will look the dogs danglies when finished
i've even got an 850 engine to go in it in the future, but promised meself no more power until the brakes work.....

Mercy! That's lovely. I'd love one of those Dakar-tastic!

shes bigger than she looks
i've replaced the seat with a lower one and the lowest point is still 36inches off the deck with my 14stone(ish) on it
i'm on tiptoes (or 1 foot flat) at the lights....

In search of TRX exhausts, I just saw on the SP Tadao website what appears to be a dirt-tracking, sideways XTZ... Unfortunately it's all in Flash.

All year round easier in QLD than it was in melbourne.

yes, snow, ice and hail have all been conquered.

Here up in the north, it's hard enough keeping my Volvo with brand new snowtires on the road

Hi Tim,

Yep I ride all year 'round. Don't mind riding in the rain, but really hate the transition time when it goes from dry to wet. Oil and sh1t hasn't washed off the road and people still drive like it's dry - very dangerous period. After a while it all settles down though and you get into the groove.

I've ridden up to the top of Donna Buang in mid winter when it's covered in snow (on the Pantah, not the TRX though) and was up the top of Hotham a couple of weeks ago where there was still some snow, but none on the road. Friggin cold still and some ice on the roads in some corners.

Edit:
Here we iz on Hotham, the white stuff's snow:

Rain, hail or shine man. Well, possibly not hail, ahah.

I don't even have a license to drive a car man, I hate the bastard things. They tend to make me claustrophobic.
