Awesome thread again in this forum, you guys rule big time. I like very much of this DIY approach to motorbiking.

I have paid the pre-ordering fee (grammar?) of my XTR 250f 1st of February to a Finnish importer, and I am still waiting for the bike. The last news of the bike is that it is in the ship on the way to Finland. Hird's thread freaked me, but thanks to your engineering spirit I have regained hope and will try to adapt the same spirit, working on for solutions instead of falling to misery.

You guys have true enduro motorbiking attitude and set an example for the rest of us to follow. Thanks of that.
