General Discussion / parts from U.S. via third party ?
« on: December 02, 2010, 10:18:24 PM »
is there a reputable place,person who I can get to recieve pre paid parts in the US and then on send them to australia.
There are still many companies that won't ship to Australia.
I expect there is a fee or commission ?
I will have ongoing purchases, so I want it to be a commercial deal rather than a favour from a VMXer
any ideas?

Bike Talk / when cheap is expensive
« on: February 22, 2009, 08:37:33 PM »
Its the old catchcry "you get what you pay for "
here is a pic of a chinese front sprocket that has exploded.
this has then unloaded the chain thru the cover and trashed the stator.
The customer has learned that the E-bay bargain was not so good after all

1st Gorby 402cc XL
2nd Fatboyracing 423cc XL
3rd yamaha MX360
4th yamaha MX360
5th yamaha MX360
6th yamaha DT250
I think fatboy went easy on me just because I rebuilt his motor during the week and maybe the threat of resleeving it to a 110 worked
we also caught up with MX? and gave him some encouragement and a swingarm

General Discussion / Dont leave a fire unattended
« on: August 23, 2008, 08:48:01 PM »
spent the afternoon digging some old frames and bikes out of the blackberries and long grass because they were dissappearing into the wilderness.
then had the bright idea to have a fire to clean up the mess.It all went well so I headed inside to have a beer and some food.
one of my sons came home and said there was a fire in the paddock so I told him I was just out there.
then the second boy arrived home and said there was a huge fire threatening to set the trees on fire and sure enough it had crept along to the stack of old car and bike tyres and was raging.
I rushed down and the seats on two bikes had just ignited from the radiant heat,problem was all the bikes were leaning on each other and could only be pulled out from the fire side
there was only one option and that was to sacrifice the TS185 that was closest to the flames and pull the other ones free.
here is a pic of the sacrificial offering,my apoligies to Doc and the other suzifiles
it was a very poor rusted 74 model but I was sure it could have offered some bits and peices
another day,another lesson learnt

« on: August 11, 2008, 08:15:51 PM »
I can aquire a roller which I am interested in fitting a Honda XL350 motor.
Would I be wasting my time,I like the honda and have plenty of spares but need something with some suspension travel.
I realise that the wrath of the Montesa gods may strike me down for sacrilege
