Oops

So, a few weeks ago, this happened...

I'm not quite sure how it happened but I'm pretty sure a bad influence (perhaps more than one) who may or may not be in the picture above could have been involved.  So now I have something more dangerous in my shed than the RMX - which now has to go, so let me know if you want a fantastic little 450...

You probably have seen the odd blog where I've chased quads around on the 450 and I guess the idea now is to have a similar tool.  The RMX is outstanding fun but a struggle in the really slow and snotty bits.  It's hard to ride slow enough when following quads in the tight stuff (it needs more pace to momentum and also can get a bit hot under the collar) and on really slippery clay (amongst the pines for instance), it is hard to stay on/pick up/get rolling again for an old fart.  Open stuff is more it's forte and it can generally smoke any quad in the right conditions.

Anyway, a 2015 Suzuki Kingquad 500 AXI and currently in bits in the shed (that's for another blog).  It comes with 4WD Hi/low with front dif lock and a brilliant CVT trans.  She's in pretty good nick and once I sort out the current issue, she'll be great.

And of course, it's needed some farkles:

Good for at least an extra 10 km/h

I picked up the bars (2nd hand from a wrecker) as the plastics are actually in pretty good condition and I want to try and keep them in reasonable shape.  Following certain others, I've noticed trees and banks reaching out and rubbing on things.

So, I just need to sort my wee issue out, fit the mascot (yep, found something suitable on Temu), add a few stickers (damn you Temu) and come up with a name for it...

More soon...
