I wasnt trying to kill myself, it's just gravel rash, and Blake was behind me on his TTR50 and came up and asked if I was dead, I said no, and then he said, THAT WAS COOL DAD! :)

Should have said yes only to lol at his puzzled look

Nah he had a huge stack and when I got to him I asked him if he was ok and he said, "No I am dead!" :) just a lot of dust and bruises for him, and a lesson learnt about throttle control, but that was aaages ago when i first bought him the TTR, he is able to do small jumps and powerslides and the like now. I just have to get used to this whole "powerband" thing :ermm: The CR has bucked me off several times now, my god it is fun but!

OK so a bit of history on the bike, it is a 2002 CR125R setup for motox racing. It never got to the track. It has a list of "upgrades" to it, I chucked the list in with all the rest of the paperwork. But apparently it has bigger jets, bigger carby, bigger this and that, so it is fairly powerful.

So I had been jumping this small jump all day. Had it down pat. Round the corner in 1st, full throttle, powerband, ramp, enjoy air, get off throttle, land.

Only issue I had was I was in 2nd, and by the time I wondered why the powerband wasnt coming on where it was last time, I was on the ramp, and powerband kicked in as I left it. The front of the bike reared up and I mustve hung on to the throttle, meaned it was at 100% when the back tyre decided to touch the ground. I close my eyes, scream like a girl and let go of the bike and wait for the pain :)

Well I cant atm, it is still out on the farm where I broke it, it should be back tomorrow so will take some pics of it before I fix it and post them here. Apparently the renthal handlebar i snapped was a pretty tough one, so at least I did a good job :)

Still I went for a long ride round the property with a mate of mine on his 600 and only time i couldnt keep up with him was when he could get it into 5th as i dont have the ability to go very fast, it is geared for low speeds, but other then that I accelerated faster, stopped quicker, and could throw the CR around a lot easier than the 600. We swapped bikes for a while and the 600 just felt huge and horrible to ride, glad I picked up the CR for $1,000 :ermm:

Pics of this new ride :D

For those whom missed it, I bougth a 2002 CR125R and took it out bush for a ride last weekend and you know me, I stacked it :)

Broke the handlebars and the brake lever.

So the previous owner gave me a crapload of spares when I bought it, including a heap of spare brake and clutch levers and a set of stocker handlebars.

Righto, so after pulling everything off the CR's handlebars it seems the stock bar is too small for the clamps, as you'll see in the picture.

So just going to pop down to the local bike shops and see how much one is.

The Yamaha TTR50 is Blakes bike. Kayla's bike is coming soon, as well as one planned for Nell :yes:

Enjoy the pics!

Not going to happen, I am over jumping now, I had much more fun chasing the other 600cc trail bike that was out there over paddocks and through the bush :)

Farks sake. Had my brother house sit for a week while I was in Melb.

Mother farker used up all my download quota, 20gig, so I am stuck on dial up speed till the 18th, and what's worse, the selfish farker didn't even leave any porn on my computer to compensate me for it.

i hope they play. got nothing else to do. sitting at home, or walking around with a face mask. look like a twit.

the test wasn't pleasant either. they stick this swab about 3-4cm into each nostril.

    • Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S
    • I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily  
    • Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.
    • I would say 100% that it doesn't matter at all. I have an Al bonnet and I drop it sometimes, push it others. Have done so for 25 years and there's no way to tell that either has caused any problems (because there are no problems).
    • yeah, a black 4 door HR, stock AT RB20DE. Was a pretty good daily summer car, it was kept in a garage during winter but previous owner was fighting rust so most of the car was covered with rust undercoating, the trunk, floorpan, it started to rust underneath so I thought it would be better to find other chassis that was taken care better and do rust preventions myself, at least I would know where keep my attention at. Plans are simple, enjoy the car as much as I can, mostly on summer of course, winter here is long and not kind to 90s JDM, I wanna keep it mostly stock like, I'm not a huge fan of GT-R look or any body kits so gonna keep it as metal as possible haha, something more balanced look wise and yeah, work on performance, I was thinking about RB25DET but 20DET actually feels fun, as long as it's reliable I think I might keep it.
