Inspected and passed. Parked in the Parc Ferme at the 2006 ISDE - I took my camera in with me. Its home in recent times. After spending recent years in a shed and then a storage unit, it got to spend the last few months in good company.

It’s gone. Having a GasGas in my life is no longer. Sold it. I bought a 2003 GasGas EC300 back in 2004 and rode the 2004 and 2005 enduro seasons on it. I became quite the GasGas fanatic. In 2006 the International Six Day Enduro was being held in New Zealand - Australia’s neighbour. I’ve...

The rubber collar inside the socket is just the right size - enough to grip the spark plug, but you don’t have to wrestle with it afterward to get the plug out of the socket. I’ll be using a 1/4” ratchet and 1/4” to 3/8” adaptor with it. For anyone in Australia, this is what you’ll be...

For me to pass someone it would mean that they are going at an exceptionally slow pace (ie asleep or in a coma). I'll at least wave to them. I also wave to spectators during special tests - I may not be fast but at least I'm sociable. :D

I'm in Perth, and have a 2006 FSE450 that I bought brand new last year from Tyres For Bikes. I've still got my 2003 EC300 as well.
