Amongst several things being exhibited or on display is Peter from Hoey Racing, who loves talking to people about their suspension problems. Plus a heap of old bikes...

Might see you there...

I think I'll pop up for an hour or so.

We were looking for Niel's Tractor parts to pick up some bits for BRR's new header.

I am looking forward to a slower tour of the mid -North areas of S.A. in the future. Itwould be good to meet you guys.

Flinders Facts.

Its on the wall behind the opened reception door.

thanks all ... got the Repco one :)

righto ... the new (to me) DR has a crack in the subframe ... just below the passenger footpeg. The bike's clearly taken a hit there and the member is a little bent up and in. Net result is that the front pipe mount isn't where it should be and the bum end of the header rubs aainst the shock spring. I need to find someone who can bend it back into shape and weld it up - or I suppose I could cut it and reshape it prior to getting someone t weld it back together.

So: recommendations for someone in Adelaide (I'm just north of North Adelaide) who does this kind of work?

Bit of a bummer - it's been welded, but not completely fixed - don't reckon th previous owner even realised the extent of the damage :( Airbox mounting tabs are busted too - I'm quite handy with epoxy and scrap bits of plastic though :)

cheers,
Slap

Jeez, not a good way to end a ride. Hope the healing process is quick.

Some nice trails below the Flinders....maybe you Green Triangle mob need to work out a time for a trip over here and meet up with some of us folks.....although Cougar says that might not be a good idea!!!!

That's bad luck mate, hope it all gets sorted out.

Would you trust a man that makes his living from making silly commercials? I think your idea has merit.

Sounds like a pretty big crash. All the best for a speedy recovery.
