A place to bang on about subjects close to your heart that affect us all as 400cc riders. general banter is rife, however rudeness and abuse seem to be the norm, If a bit wet round the ears best go play elsewhere. Auto pruning of items 31 days and older

Bike had all fairings present when I got it,however,they were all cracked and held together with wood screws,so I took them off and threw them away.

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Just for once...respect to a man that puts a puker description on his ad.

I had one of these and did club trials (until some tw*t nicked whilst I was in the Gulf) and there is still a very good fun bike there for somone with some time who like the off road as much as the tarmac ;)
