Hi guy's,
Just a quick post to introduce myself. I have been riding since the early 70's my first bike was a 250 Ossa SDR a great bike of the day which I enjoyed riding very much did a couple of enduro (I would love to find one and restore it to ride again). Then along came a TM 400 Suzuki moto cross followed by several others including a xl500s Honda which I still own and ride in the forest around Imbil  3-4 times a week. I have just moulded a new seat foam to try to raise the height of the bike and have added bar raisers also. I had my left knee replaced  2 years ago and am waiting to do the right,and my shoulders are also stuffed, so trying to raise the seat height to make it easier to get on to the pegs (not so much bend in the knee's).
Regards Rod.

Hi PCMAX,
As for what state I'm in I'd say old and decrepid as for where I live.
I am in Imbil Queensland, about 40 k's inland form Gympie in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. There are some very good forest roads leading into Hoop and Bunya Pine forest with plenty of excellent single trail.
Regards Rod.
