Just a lowly 185

Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

Just a lowly 185

Post by Eastham »

Hi
New here, but as the title says, I’ve only a 185, but still dreaming that maybe one day a Kettle. So hoping it’s OK to post without having the said bike?
Only had my 185 since July, it’s an American import and pretty much original, apart from the rear shocks, it’s by no means mint, but I’m very happy with her.

Thanks for the welcome
Hopefully I won’t need to ask any question 🙏 my knowledge is very basic with the 185, I have a Fizzy which my knowledge on her is slightly better :shock:

Hi Neil, you're getting around a bit on that 185! America one day and UK the next!! :lol:
Plenty of Suzy 2 strokes other than the 750 Hippo on here, so welcome to the asylum.
Proof that four strokes are over complicated
