    Hello everyone

    This is my bike. It is fun to ride. Maybe some of you have seen it around since this style doesn't seem too common here.

    It's had its 30 seconds of use, has it? :p

    Yeah, there are a few 'tard riders here. They tend to stand out due to their straight-jackets and padded rooms :lol:

    Hey mate yeah it was a little doughy to start with, hence changing pipes (tried a few) adding power commander ECU, different sprocket and chainring combos, airbox opened up etc. - all the standard 'un-corking' procedures.

    Regardless of gearing the aerodynamics & riding position of the bike mean you are never going to hit 200kph comfortably on the thing with stock internals, in my opinion. But going really fast in a straight line is not what these bikes are about. Being able to ride around town without wearing out knobbies, and then decide to go right to the very top of a mountain including a bit of offroad singletrack is great.
