Better too much than not enough!

I wish I could say I intended that from the beginning, but I was actually totally oblivious.  That's funny as hell, though.

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

Which naturally reminds me of the old joke about telling your buddy you did his wife and found 4 unused inches.Ah,the oldies are still funny-to me anyway ;D
Anyhoo,for trail setup,I went through the guards for everything stage but in my old age prefer the minimalist,lowest weight approach.Nothing but a skid plate though I keep looking at it but can't quite make myself remove it-too many rocks around here.
As for suspension,I set mine up to almost bottom off jumps occasionally but although I don't bottom in the woods,it comes close from time to time.I'd trade  seat height for suspension travel anytime(I've ridden IT's and found they had too little)-even though I'm not one of those gargantuan 6ft + freaks of nature :P ;)

I'm astounded you Aussie/Kiwi types didn't jump on that: by ford

I don't think you will get any laugh's out of the Aussie's at the moment. ;)

They are too worried about the Aussies playing the All Blacks this weekend  ;D
They are on a 7 game losing streak  :o

Maybe you need different bait.Tell them you slept with their wives.That almost always gets a rise for some reason. :D

I'm bored and since this thread got WAY off topic, here's two more pics of my set up. MSR D-Flector aluminum hand guards with large shields and Moose tool bag.

Back on topic.
Only extras i have on my bike are Zeta handguards & JRF Tourque controller. "Adjustable power valve".
I aways run good tyres as well with heavy duty tubes.
Only thing i am going to add is Devol radiator guards. When i can figure out which ones fit. ::)
