The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

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.
