Big Fat Ugly and a Honda how unusual!!

In all seriousness I rode one of my mates 1985 500 (it had a fly-wheel weight) and it was most suzuki like.

Is this where I tell the crew about the xr we had as kids Craig?

Based on your comments about scarey's cr500 it won't be long until you add some more red wings to your collection!

Water pump housing is the only bad part of one of my favourite bikes. I have my racer which is very tidy and another waiting to be transformed. I have been collecting nos parts for a garage queen.
They look fast and go faster than they look. I had one as my race bike at 18, so they are special to me.
