Wouldn't recommend the 200, would go for the 300
I'll update once something gets delivered or stuff gets made. I know someone very kind who has offered to assist the conversion to SM by helping with spacers/relocating brackets etc.. so yeah, awesome  |

<shrugs>, don't see the problem.
Loosen the fork and wheel pinch bolts, knock it about a bit and retighten, probably sort it - while USD isn't so bad, the long travel stuff does habit of twisting a bit, but can usually also untwist easily. |

Gonna get my tool kit on it and have a looksies. Minimal tools here you see!
Fancied giving it a ride as is, just whack the plate on my bag or something. Truly is zero things to break |

Unlucky. I think a nice two stroke hoon machine is just the ticket. I would love one.
I nailed my 250 into a gate once, no footage, not sure how fast I was going,I was green laning and don't look at the speedo, but I had the throttle held completely open, and when I picked the bike up it was in 6th, whether it got knocked up a gear or two when it crashed or if I was already there I don't know. But it scratched my hand guard and bent the bars, which was fine, they were twisted any and I had some taller replacements already in the garage.
It did more damage to me, I landed about 5 metres away from the bike, then skidded down the gravel for another bit, cracked my knee cap and tore all the skin off my left leg, as well as re-breaking my wrist from when I crashed my MTB a month before.
The hospital was the most painful, they said they needed to clean the wound, he went away then came back with a washing up scouring pad. Even with the anaesthetics, I could feel it, I wanted to throw up.
