Cambrian Rally 2007 - 20th and 21st October

[Mr K]

If I'd won, my master-stroke of running on "intermediate-wets" would have been hailed as genius.... as it happens..............

 

[Mr K]

Obviously it wasn't my lack of ability that was holding me back, so I joined some other degenerates with KLX650s and Team Ballistic was formed. We were all of the same thought: More power!

The pinnacle of KLX650 evolution, I am proud to say was "Luggage": Devil pipe, strange doings in the air-box and an Acerbis tank to allow me to puff and pant faster and longer ...... at the time it made sense.....

I loved that bike....

 

[Mr K]

Sorry about the thread hi-jack...

But, this way lies madness.......

 

[Mort]

Sir, I salute you
They are indeed made of steel.

 

[Mr K]

I feel we did rather well considering....

 

[Mort]

And I made a living out of them

 

[snoopy]

You said you had a DR650? What happened?

 

[Mr K]

You said you had a DR650? What happened? And how long ago did you do the Cambrian?

Did the Cambrian in 95 and bought the DR650 coz it was lighter than the KLX ......

 

[Mr K]

I was famous for a short while....

....and lived the wild-ride with "Crasher Cornish" and TBM.....

 

[Mr K]

I am aware that my ego is rapidly taking over this thread, so I will leave you with conclusive proof I had a DR650 ..... and stalked Fast Bikes...

 

[snoopy]

So what happened.....

 

[Mr K]

So what happened.....

We discovered Spain, specifically The Picos.
They didn't care where you rode.
You could drink red wine at lunch time.
You could ride off-road for 30 miles without a junction....

It's different now: The routes got shared and shared again. The traffic became too much for the Guardia to ignore....



Then we came back to England and nasty people in red socks didn't like us and it didn't seem like fun....after Spain..

........and suddenly I was old...

 

[Mort]

........and suddenly I was old...

How did you turn into a cow?
