My feelings exactly - however the media and the public at large will portray this chap as an irresponsible criminal that must be ridiculed and punished.. Oh what a strange world we live in...
I would of thought an Indonesian immigrant but they would of had 6 chickens, a pig and the whole family too. Fraser
For some reason (it must be the fact he's a Kiwi and the bike he's riding) but I see this guy and I'm reminded of Cam Botherway. Cheers, Dale.
Long story. I have to save few grand first for a family issue. Then I have to save a few grand more for replacement parts and tools I currently don't have. Then I'll be doing a full bare frame rebuild. Respray the frame (thinking gloss dark grey two-pack), fully rebuild the donk, new brakes throughout, new Ohlins suspension (already purchased), new bearings throughout. I'd just spent thousands on it in preparation for last year's GP, including a new Bagster, gel battery and a pair of Michelin 2CTs fitted two days before the donk went. Never mind chicken strips, these haven't even had the mould lines running *across* the tread worn off yet... I figure it might take another 12-18 months before it hits the road but it's gunna be smick. I sit with it every night, in fact I can touch the Pig from where I sit right now. I miss riding it but in the meantime, I've got the DR. the DR650 is like when you meet a girl who does things your girlfriend doesn't like doing... : )
