    Smile XR650R on loan

    I don't know much about the XR650R but my mate has left one here for me to store for him (and play with). I have to say that Iv'e always thought Honda had the best build quality going but the XR is something else indeed, the frame is a work of art, the engine has so much grunt and sounds the Dogs watsits and to ride it you just can't help but smile, one day I will have one of my own, one day.

    He spends 2 months in a sling. Slave driving the kids to remove wheels,unbolt this and bolt up that to it. wash , scrub it with their tooth brushes and polish it and no sooner is he let loose than he undoes all their good work!

    ladies and gentlemen, please do not accept these plea's,
    I saw this bike at xmas and it was showroom condition,i could have eaten my dinner off the crankcase under the carb.
    Spare a thought for the poor mights who now only have half fingers worn down by this tyrant as stood waving the big stick and looking over his shoulder to make sure the wife wasn't back.








    especially when he doesn't lend tham out to the rest of us who are still in the infancy of growing our little workforce's.

    Hi Meesh.

    Derek is up tomorrow as we are going to ExCel bike show on Friday so when we get it out I will take some pics and put them on here (it's buried under three other bikes at the moment), I have a very dificult choice to make..... do I take the AT or the FMX on Friday?, I think the FMX might win because I havn't used it for ages, Errr.... but the AT might get lonely, Oh choices, choices
