Rev, apologies mate, you're memory is obviously superior to mine. It was the 500 mach 2 of which I speak. Mine was green and white and I had forgotten the plug fouling issue.
I lived in Alice Springs at the time and would regularly take it for a high speed, or should I say high RPM run up to the north of Alice, up through the ranges. At the start of the ride it would run like a wooly goat but give it a hard time and the bloody thing would sing.
After a near get off I gusseted the frame and it repaid me with an almost high side which scared the beejeesus outa me and I sold it not long after.
From memory the new owner had it about a month and wrote it off.
The word "evil" describes it perfectly.
Hey Bill, shame on you bloke, giving the lovely Tracy a sore butt. I hope you did the right thing and gave her a nice massage when you got home.
That is a good ride. Rosie and I have done that one and had a ball. Mate your bike has been getting some use of late. Poor old thing, it must be due for a rest.
Regards
Chopper
