Not that rock or stump hopping is planned,

  • Okay, here we go. I've bought my 1100cc Virago in August 2018 and had to fix it ever since.   Too many parts were messed up by Thai mechanics, and as hard as it sounds, I had to pull the car

Had my ride out today, all good the bike is like clockwork,  85 mph is a nice steady speed. 

I have 6 gears set up motogp so I ride like, 1st move off down to 2nd, then double shift 3/4th, then double shift 5/6th. It works so good for me anyone same or do you always just go through all gears.  

Sounds good Kawa. But made me smile at my situation CBR 150r I have wring the neck of it to even get 125 kmp and that only occasionally. Its fine with me not really complaining but between my fat ass and small CC's  I loose sped usually dripping in to 5 it just wont sustain the rpms But I am quite content to do 90 on the highway and considerably less elsewhere.

But cheers  just hearing  85mph is a nice steady speed  gave me a grin I can tell you thanks man.

You could sell your 150 and get a CBR250R at a small extra cost and it would be more relaxing they do a 100 in comfort and 120 easily for overtaking, a bit more if you're up to it. 

I don't go full speed on my bike I just like it to have the power there if I want it, it's not for everyone I know. 

My bike at 75 & 85mph just has a nice purring sound at 5000 rpm.

Ohlins fork springs in the Forza.

Transformed the bike - as it did with all my bikes wearing them.

Slight problem - shocks next week I hope

I full intend on doing that Kwasaki. But life has intervened at the moment . Just have been diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma and will be having the 3rd of 8  IV sessions on the 30th and then 3 weeks apart. So it is taking all my strength, time and money at the moment. But a very high likelihood of a good to best prognosis. So for the time being  still quite content with  my  small CBR.

Had this pan installed by my KMK shop today.

The older son mechanic/machinist handled

the job in about 1.5 hrs.

Piece did not just bolt on,

Tricky mod.

Lath work for some stand-offs,&c..

Nice install, B300., so...

... ordered a skid plate from a maker in Chiang Mai.

Meant for KLX230, but will make it work on Lifan-200 D/S:

Lazada     1750baht.

24" wheel.

Quality is commensurate with the 2200 price.

More expensive are offered on Lazada.
