Pete Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Really bad here Alan....lot of rain and very high winds. So I was cleaning up the TT-R. TA hasn't been out of the garage for about 2 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcooled Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 it's been the same here for a while too pete. today is the fist good un we've had in a while. i thought i'd better make the most of it and get a decent run. no doubt it'll be pissing down and blowing a gale again tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Easy to ride aren't they? And when you tell people they just don't get it! Come to the weekend bash last week of June in Mid Wales! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcooled Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 i just might do that you know! i'd like to try a big trip on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 You can meet up with everybody then Alan. Plus bands, discos, the enduro run across Mid Wales. And I should be back up in North Wales by then, so we could meet somewhere like Chester and ride down. I'll be on the TT-R to do the enduro.

liquidcooled Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 the route i took today was up the coast to girvan, then through the forest park for ages, back to newton stewart, then home to portpatrick. not very interesting i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted January 16, 2005 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2005 It's a Helluva lot more interesting than me sitting here waiting for the ICE to melt off everything! ....as i just made it home on Friday night from work before all the freezing rain came. Being on a bit of a limited budget lately, I've been keeping an eye on this...... XT that I found & another plus is that it's the 1st bike I've found in Oregon.....only 2 hrs. drive away......so fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcooled Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 thats a seriously cool xt scott! i hope you get i! i would go for it myself if i was in oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted January 16, 2005 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2005 Yeah, all the other bikes I've been interested in are too far away.......would end up paying for the bike again.....in fuel costs or shipping charges! The only issue with this XT, is a small oil leak near the shock mount (frame carries oil)......which I think can be cured with a bit of JB Weld. I like all the new UFO plastics including the handguards! .......which BTW, I dug up my old Answer velcro-on handguards from my old Bultaco the other day......got 'em on the Maxim now.....looks a bit weird, but definitely saves me from the white finger syndrome with the freezing temps we've been having lately.
