steel frame brett, but fairly advanced in 77. test ridden yesterday but something not right with carby, jetting. More rides, tweaking planned today and hopefully sort it out or will be seeking help from forum gurus. ???

Hi Dave

How come your doing all the finger work for Ricko. Stop pampering him and let him do the typing and posting of his bike.

Looks like you both have been busy since CD5. KX400 looks to go as well! I'll be looking for a ride on the big bore stuff when I get there. See you in QLD.

Catch you there.

PB

Ricko got carby problems sorted on yz today (worn, bent needle) and kwaka just about ready (look for pic in kawasaki shortly). anyway see you at cd, I will take it easy on the bourbon so hopefully i can still talk when you get there. :-[.......regards dave.
