Hi, after lurking in the shadows of the forum for a while, thought it would be good to join now that I finally bought a bike. I went with a sentimental favourite. A 1981 Kawasaki KLX250 similar to what I rode when the bike was new and I had hair, strength, fitness and no fat gut. This last element could prove to be the undoing of the sluggish 250 motor. On the other hand, I'm hoping that there will be at least one other speed challenged old codger at the Brisbane Motorcycle Club that I can have a dice with.
I can't believe that all those years ago I rode at this track and was chased away by the police because we had snuck through the hole in the dump fence. 30 plus years later it's a motocross/speedway track. To think back then it was either Tivoli, Maleny, Conondale or Echo Valley for a race, nothing this close. That's real progress!!!
Open for any advice on who and where to get KLX bits and what to do to make this bike perform.
Also hoping that some of those old enduro boys from the late 70's early 80's are still about.
Look forward to any comments. Regards, Adrian.
