Ted,
Nice, but please do something about the graphics and seat cover. Then it will be 100% cool instead of 99.5%   :)

Very noice big ted, pipe looks a little dull could do with some chrome? Shift lever looks o be one spline too low, maybe you should lift it up so you can only toodle around in 1st? ;D

Seriously though, that'd better be on the ute for a trip up here next year!! I'll swap you a ride on the PE

way cool Ted! 8)
is that an 83 or 84?
i had a good ride on the 83 model back in the day. took me a few laps to adjust to it as i was on 125's back then but i do remember a pretty big grin :)

Nice bike. I be-grudgingly like them (but it's not the makers fault). For some reason whenever I see a 500 Kawa I think 'works bike'.
I think the condition of your shed screams out 'sicko' however. :D

Up to the usual outstanding standard Ted. I agree with all of the others who reckon that those eighties KXs reek of 'works bike'. I've been playing with the idea of getting a CR500 for quite a while now but every time I see one of these things I change my mind. :-\
It looks like you'll now have to get a CR500 and an RM500 to make up the set Teddy! ;D

Post by: Rossvickicampbell on July 04, 2010, 04:15:17 pm
Firko I agree - I love my Hondas but unfortunately a CR500 wont make much difference to where I place - thought I might do something different from all the front runners........................so I am looking for a KX500 instead of a CR - I reckon they look great to!

CMD I was going to give you a whipping for deserting Team Red via mooting buying a KX, but given our new found 'gang' affiliation I shall pull the uppercut :-* :-*

Love it, it makes the hair on your neck stand up, enjoy it, get it dirty.

Post by: ted on July 10, 2010, 04:24:13 pm
Hilly...Both are very fast. But i think the way the 465 is set up it is a bit more tractable.The KX feels lighter and smaller though and has better brakes. But for fun factor i`ll take the 125 anytime.

Hi mate who built the pipe on your KX & how much $, it looks like a GMC pipe. Real nice bike must owe you lots.
I'm sure I've seen you at Louee on it carving up all the young dudes on their moderns and I have been told
you nail the 130' table top. Got any action shots of you on it?
Title: Re: My new Pre 85
Post by: ted on July 10, 2010, 08:16:21 pm
Nah mate, No Chevy pipes here. This one is the real deal. Me and me mate made it from some left over chimney flue he had after he burnt his house to the ground. He figured he wouldn`t be needing a fireplace in the next joint. He went onto FaceSpace and typed in rad and gnarly and got the design.He says it comes with 2 power bands.

Owe me lots...pffft.
The clown i practically stole it off doesn`t know jack shit when it comes to motosickles. His interior designer boyfriend told him a green bike in the back of his truck wasn`t a good look....burnt orange was way cooler.

Yep that was me clearing the table top at Louee. Pity you didn`t witness it first hand. But i won`t be doing it again `cos i cleared it by that much i landed on the start line on the thumper track and had to go and win that race as well. Took me ages to get back to my esky for another cold beer and a smoke

Can`t get action shots `cos the new pipe generates that much roost that it looks like i`m inside a tornado. Here to race...yep
