Its how the assimilation process begins Richo .

Its also good because I like to ride other bikes, gives good bargaining power - hey can I have a go, you can ride mine

Functional blinging I think is the correct term

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 !

Woo hoo, cant wait. Looks like I'll be able to tick "Ride the infamous Black Pearl" off the bucket list.
