Yes, I know they're a bit gravity prone but...

  1. With the 90 degree twin, there might not be enough room at the front because
    of the front pot. 21" is better in loose dirt, cuts in better and more
    stability when the dirt is trying its hardest to throw the front wheel off
    line, plus they ride corrugations better. That's one reason why even the
    big twin emu chasers with 19" fronts are a compromise. Honda even went to
    23" fronts for a couple of years on their dirtbikes (long time ago now
    though)

    No, the F650CS (Scarver) is belt drive but the F650GS has chain.

    Now, John, you wouldn't have some kind of bad-tempered, toothy
    pet would you? A snake would probably be ideal.

    Hi John, it was a very pleasant coopers or three. Pity about Adelaide
    shutting down at noon and having a hell of a job finding an eatery
    (how much boot leather did we use?)

  9. Funny you should say that, Bill. I've just parked an old boat I bought next
    to the chook shed...

    Got to be a new sign of old fartdom - a thing with a motor that can't
    fall over but isn't a car.

    Dunno what Pisshead's excuse is then...

    Dunno Zebee, boats have a rather nasty habit of falling over,

    Bill

    Don't talk to me about boats...

  17. Does that include the palindrome suburb?

    I liked that place. Didn't see you there, but chatted to the CBX1000 owners
    group.
