bye the way i did try to post a pic of my fisher KAITAI and once i figure out how to do it I will do it.

Here's my new Salsa Caballero. I built it up over the winter and only have about 100 km on it so far, but it rides like a dream. I'm a happy guy.

I'm a full-squishy noob so I'm learning something extra with every ride, but it really does handle and track well. Our local trail is a rocky, rooty slugfest, but the Cab takes it all in stride.

I blew up the primary and clutch assembly today, so I spent a few hours fixing it. It works for now but I will have to come up with a better set up later. Also, I don't know about the stinger but I do know the tune pipe is functional, I had a hole in it and lost some major power, since then I've patched it and it's all good again.

Anyway, it's a fun-lookin' little critter; would make a perfect pit bike.

First time I cleaned my chain this season. If you look at the cassette you can see the gold power link.
