Hey Doc,
What ever happened to the GS185 twin??? If you bring that you are sure to be the only one around. That Ram Air cooling will be perfect in the heat of battle.
Come on!!!!!

CG..that tank was pretty good to start with..a victa fuel tap has that issue sorted but I've just got my mitts on a nice chrome isolated type that'll zippy tie to the frame downtube..the fitting was a bit of a shit but ya get that  ;) cheers

:D VMX42, the GTS185ISDT replica is tucked away safely awaiting another time in my life when I am stuck in between projects with nowhere to go or when my projects run out. ;) All it really needs is the tank fixed, some wiring (about 1 million miles worth  :o) a battery, a chain, some Araldite for the leaky fuel tank or swap it for some god forsaken ugly plastic tank I'm sure to have kicking around, buy a couple of pods and she's done. I wish I could bring 5 bikes but logistics says 1 will be enough. The RM400 would be my second choice..hmmmm..decisions decisions!!..and all because of you Graeme  :P..you mentioned you'd like to see some big bores and mine is all but primed for an outing and i'd really like to ride it again too :-\ hmmmm..will have to think about this..maybe it'll be this one..

You know, I don't think I have ever seen an RM400C in the flesh... Yep, you gotta bring it along Chris.

 ;D yeah me too AJay..I love my pre 75's and TM's nowdays but 400 has been my fav for a long time. Besides, it's having it's 30th this year so it'll make for a milestone celebration! 30 years!!!  :o..wow..time flies..and it didn't kill me unlike the saleman cum lowly delivery person reckoned it would..I didn't kill it either so double celebration ::)

Bahnsy, are you not taking a 400C also?

my guess Doc is that the track will be more suited to the big bore machinery so the 400 will be garunteed fun while the 125 could be a gamble.

yeah thanks Pokey, but but I was sure there was an appropriate rat sticker placed somewhere!!  :o

 :P oh that's right..it has a Go The Rat crossbar pad that's not visable in the pic..even a VMX sticker on the rear guard..has to be good for some brownie points  ;D oh..an it has a ficticious number being E34..go the Valiant!!  :D

I replaced the front wheel for the stock item on the big banger last night, was cleaning up the rear this arv but she has 4 or 5 spoken brokes (LATE EDIT: make that 8 spokes..see wanted ad in Suzuki ::))and a bald sprocket  ::) will run with the DR rear if I have to but I'll try and get her 99% box stock for the occassion :) Vandy I'm expecting the track will be fantatic on anything and I do have serious fun on the 125's..I've not ridden anything but the little blappers for the past few years and I'd love to take both!
