I have a paradox exercise machine that also pretends to be a bike - does that count too? 8-[

Not really, a paradox is more along the lines of 'I always tell lies'.

As in, is he lying about always telling lies? etc blah etc

I think what John-b is trying to say is, he prefers his bikes to be more 'user friendly' so he doesn't have to spend ages on the upkeep of them.

And bloody right too :D

I once had an contradictory 125, does that count? (Its a chinese make, no honestly, I never tell lies :-$ )

Well a 125 could be Chinese or it could be Mr Howie Sir that your statement is logically incongruous. Zenic, casuist and whistleblower :roll:

looks like I am going to have to strip my kr1 down as the powdercoat has spider cracked on the frame [oh well never mind] the frame/swing arm should be 2 packed sprayed anyway,]
I have started to strip it already.
I am going to completely strip the engine and match the barrels etc and blueprint the engine. so once done will put the kr1 on the dyno. [wonder what a completely standard and sorted kr1 with origanal drainpipe exhausts will have bhp wise]

no,i have,nt paul :)

but I am going to strip it and get the fork bottoms/frame and swinger sprayed in satin silver [exactly what I should of done in the first place]
its no big thing as I think I now know how to strip a kr :)
but yes, its annoying . but it will give me a chance to do more tweaks in the engine that I did,nt do in the first place,
I am aiming for as close to 55bhp at the rear wheel as I can.

watch this space
I have just bought a set of new jolly moto pipes.
and a few more mods.
I have,nt been on this forum for a while as there has been a lot of negative remarks
of garys 300cc kr1s that I built. [you all know the bike I mean, the most powerfull kr1s on the forum and prob the country. ]
I am now building a true 250cc kr1 , not kr1s. and lets see if I break 60bhp.
