gday guys and girls, new to the site and thought i would introduce myself...
i stumbled upon this site whilst searching for spares and info on my 1975 xr 75. i no longer race mx, (cant afford the hospital bills anymore..) but am hoping to get into rebuilding old mx bikes.. like i said i have a 1975 xr 75, i also have a new generation ktm, but i wont mention that one too much for risk of upsetting those who let me post on here ;D.. well hope that you's are all having a great day.. with maybe a few beverages under the skin...
cheers, rocky..

Rosedog ah! :o Now that begs an explanation ;D.

If you think resto's are cheap you haven't realised how many $5, $20 and $150 little bits you need and how much it will cost to post them ::). And you haven't yet learnt how much 'do it once do it right' really costs :-[. And you haven't yet learnt how much it costs to undo things before you do them up :-X. And you haven't yet learnt how much simply repairs really cost :-\.  And you haven't yet learnt how many 'sexy fingers' before you it takes to really screw things up :'(.

The trick is don't keep records, don't add things up in the head, don't tell the missus (or she'l remember and remind you at the most inopportune moment) and always use the lowest guesimate :P ::) ;D.

If you are thick skinned ::), love any old bike and enjoy a beverage or two you should fit right in :-*.

So, welcome abroad Rosie ;D.
