G'day Kerry, my mate Dave had a ride on the XS last w'end, reconds its better than it has any right to be.We have prepared a pair of XL250's for an assult on that 25 lap race on Sat. at Nepean on August 1.Dave is a wizard, already developed the fastest Xl350 on the planet, now he wants the best 250XL. My 350 is back together, oil pump rotor had shattered at ACT last year.Will try to use 250XL this year,give the CR a rest.Last time I rode the 250XL at Condo I fell an spent 6 weeks off work.Hope to get it to make some more power (using Grasy's bike as a guide). R you going to aust titles-long haul 4 you, eh.If you get to Nepean you might be able to have a ride on the XS, its a club day.
