the all aussie dribble thread!

[lumberjackau]

Yeah Possibly, there's a few bikes around on gumtree I'd swap it for if the bike made its way up to me

Ah, so that was you, I saw the ad then couldn't find it again
I have an XR500, it came in on trade for some other stuff I had

 

[chippy]

I'm in Stratford.

What change over are you thinking?

I bought it new. Genuine kms. Needs new fork seals, have a new set with it but havent got round to it, and the starter relay is jambed on. Need new battery too.

Got a Ballard's bash plate, lever guards and HD handle bars. Yoshi pipe, metal sintered brake pads, all the good gear. Oil changed every second ride. Set up for trail riding.

Are you pretty keen on a bike? I don't have a bike, but I have cash money. Cash money can be used in exchange for goods and services, which includes motorcycles

Yep , money talks and bullsh#t walks,,, as long as the cash exchange is a fair swap for goods intended, I mean both sides should be happy with the deal.

Cash is handy at times ,but only if there's something to buy ,and everything I find that I'm keen on is in bloody Victoria ..so cash is not much chop at times, I don't get a fuzzy felling with a few pieces of paper in my pocket and no pisss up on the horizon lol

I have too many projects in the shed, trying to finish this one up so I can get into a few others, besides, she who must be obeyed tells me the bike must go

 

[chippy]

Neil, have you got an AV090?

 

[chippy]

The old 600 thumper are just no match for the WR.

Mate had an XR650 with the Wisieko high comp piston, set up for Enduro racing, and it wouldn't touch the WR in anything, except for weight on the trailer, beat it hands down in that department.

I've got a couple of KTM's here, a 250 and a 300, 2 strokes. I'm quicker on the 450 most of the time. It's my prefered bike by far....makes me a better rider than I really am. Very wide power delivery and awesome throttle control......

The 2 strokes are prolly quicker in single track and on the mx track.

 

[WidowMaker_1]

Heres a swap I'd take delivery off ,just saying

yes but not for sale, I have 3 actually oh and a 070 Chinese copy (actually owned by Gmax who sent it to me on a kind a permanent loan). to play with and modify as I have done in this vid of it. Its got a 090 tiop end with a 90 carby and removed governor.
I will see if I can find a vid or 2.

id love the old 4 banger but way to far for me there a sweet old bike.

 

[WidowMaker_1]

Air cooled thumpers are awesome. Do a 100mph on the fire trail all day long without raising a sweet, made for dakka ..built old school tough with mountains of torque, the TT600 is as quick down the quarter mile as a E49 charger

 

[Stihl working hard]

There lined up with junker thumpsters lol

Don't they always

Nice.

Now days, if you were felling and bucking, would you go with a 661 or a 090 Neil? All things considered.....

 

[WidowMaker_1]

I can answer that , 395xp ..same as me? Sorry Neil but I think I'd be close to right on that

Just a 395 mate, I never actually fell logs with the 90 professionally, I cut off logs on the dump with them but I was the boy then and the men did the falling and dozer work.
When I had learned enough to be allowed to fall properly I did do a fair bit with big saws like the 084 and especially the 3120 but have also done my time on 2100's and 1 076 too.

ps, yea I could easily work with the 661 too, but I'm a Holden man not a Ford man...

 

[WidowMaker_1]

Holden ? Wtf ....where's me block button

 

[ausneil 1]

hahahaha, Kaine you beat me replying, bloody same answer,,,, fancy that.
