With the Green theme run at Conondale, I am now keen on the Italian theme.. I do have another basket case that I may need the 12 months to get ready as it is in very poor condition as it had been left out in the weather after it had developed a top end rattle (so I am told). I haven't heard it run yet, but it is complete.
Greg, I don't always like those "challenging" basket cases, sometimes its just the way I get the majority of my twin shocks, but then that is the challenge isn't it?
I will try to download some photos of this latest basket case soon.

Hi Everyone,

It is not very often that I get to bite before David, but here goes.

Is it Red, or is it White, or is it Green, maybe Yellow?

Does it have the chain on the right side?

Is the kickstart on the wrong side?

Does it wear Pirelli?

Will it run on Gruppa?

Darren was that the section with the serious mudhole? I saw someone else crash pretty badly there and they DNFed too.

Hi everyone,
Greg it certainly isn't yellow or green and yes the kickstarter is on the CORRECT side.

I'm also a bit confused about this gruppa. Is that some sort of Italian home brew or something? Enlighten me as to what will run on gruppa.

I believe that the bike originated from a well known trials family.

I think he means Grappa, which is an alcoholic beverage that contains 35%–60% alcohol by volume, and is 120%proof. Probably been on it when he wrote the post!!

The green japanese theme continued to our end-of-year trial at Seeonee Park last weekend, including a terrific banner from our sponsor Harbour City Motorcycles. There were two KTs in the trial but (Timothy Evans) had been loaded up before the photo op. Great trial too by the way - report coming soon

Thanks Harbour City Motorcycles.
