Close, yes, but no cigar :wink:

Looks like I might have to take a photo to support my claim. But if the fella who bought mine (just joined OzFS as Surfin) comes on the next trip in January, as he's planning to, then I guess he gets to take over as record holder.

However, for a time:km record, it's gotta be me me ME :D . I bought the thing with 12,000kms on it about 3 years ago.

Yes & no, Chris. I imagine the average rider over here would do more kms than you guys due to weather, distance, etc, but that's still pretty high. Most people try to sell them off by about 40-50,000.
If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?

You're right there, the weather is a big factor :!: :D

I think the CCT has been covered enough already :!: :wink:

The starter motor power cable nut (located under the rubber boot at the front of the starter motor) should be greased regularly with high melting point grease such as copper grease because of it's location :!:
