Well after getting rid of my late mint 99 plate AR back in 06, i kinda regretted it, so i am back with a vengance.
Allow me to present this winters project and object of desire.
My 1997 CRM250AR Plan of attack for this bike, well essentially its good solid bike and the motors sweet (the CRM 2 stroke engine is very very reliable). It will never see any off road and is going to be a pure road weapon.

Full strip over autumn / winter.
Frame refinish and powdercoat.
Engine refresh
Forks rebuilt and annodized in a slightly darker gold and nitrided legs (where does this) with heavier springs.
already got a set of talon gold motard rims to fit.
get the DEP re-chromed
Replace loads of worn and corroded small items with new genuine parts.
Get shock rebuilt.
Strip and check loom (they suffer from water ingress when used off road and rot inside out) and refinish.
try and source a MUGEN CDI (i sold mine with my last AR)
try and source a set of new original panels in the black / red scheme like on my last AR

Your a nutter!!

Nice though.

Tony took your wheels for that today.

cheers Kris, i totaly forgot and never even thought of Tony collecting. mad eh.
As nice as it is, its not a contender for spain next year - odly enough i think the RVF will get another slice of that pie considering just how well it coped last time, and its all still geared up ready to go.

ahhhhh so thats what the wheels are for, nice mate but where the fuck are you putting all these bikes

dude - not a problem, due to running out of space, and my mums place being full, i have rented a 20ft new play lined steel shipping container in work for all my old servers and kit. well i got a couple of servers in there anyway, room for around 10 bikes though

Well he popped in and I thought he might be up to see you soon. I need to get a bike sorted for next year. Just got too much on with the house at the min.

That doesn't actually mean you have to fill it with 10 bikes though mate. Hehe love it!
