Thank you. tangles

pete as i said i havnt been riding, my r date is this week. =]

No probs then. Wasn't having a go ... I've already had a learner rider kill himself on an R1 50m from my house some years ago. Just showing some concern and upholding the law :bunny:

>_<

yeah nice bike mate, as roo said its not a good habit to go riding without the approved licence,it sounds like your being sensible though good on you. These days there arent that many riders that actually have experience and keep there road rules in check, the state has had an abundance of young lads going out and getting their bike license,which is great for us fellow riders,except when they decide not to listen to us riders that have been riding for as long as they have been born,we dont need dead riders,the cops already pick on us enough without making us more of a target.

Like others ive had my share at sitting by the side of the road holding somones pieces together,ive had enough of the wahoo guys, ride safe guys and keep it safe for others

Craig, I had to sell my dirt bike some time ago. I just kept busting myself up on tracks and jumps too often. It was worse than crashing at the race track (Mallala) :P

Nice old school KLX (?) you got coming. It'll have some awesome torque for wheelies! Was your previous ride a KX80?

NA KDX, 95 model.

prev. bike was KX 125, that thing was twitchy as all hell, scary at times!

this thing has been bored with bigger piston apparently, so we will see how she goes when it gets here

Yeah you're right ... KLX's and KLR's are 4 stroke. I saw the bike in the pic was a 2 stroke, but knew it wasn't a KX being the road-going version.

KDX ... but its forgiven. I don't like Kawasaki's much :)

BTW ... I thought the 125 had larger expansion chambers? Only reason I guessed it being an 80.

licence:

Full licence (restricted till jan next yr)

years riding:

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
