Its also good because I like to ride other bikes, gives good bargaining power - hey can I have a go, you can ride mine 
 
 
There is one owner of a certain "black pearl" that will be offered a go on the CDT too 
 
  
 
I rode that up Apollo Road. It's an awesome thing to peddle! 

 
Phil should be barring up right about now  

  - the Kerker got a 2" insert a few days ago, so now sounds like a motobike should  

 .....and I have given the old girl a bit of a clean (nothing too drastic, it still has that 32 year-old 'patina' that money just can't buy   

 ) - the new 520 chain conversion has unleashed at least another 2.345 hp !!   
 
 
Here is Marty on the Pearl from a few years ago..... (in further good news for Phil - a functioning rear brake now comes as standard equipment  

 )
 
I'll add a couple of photos later tonight from the VJMC ride we did yesterday.  The old girl is lookin' pretty tidy, and with a last-minute gearing change tomorrow arvo  

   she will have some decent legs for the upcoming CDT.
WOOPS almost forgot to mention - your Rex looks great in RAPID Phil  

   very good story, I showed a couple of the old boys from our scooter traffic squad, they were very impressed !
