I came across a number of people who needed an X on their number plate and chose to cut up a number or draw an X with permanant marker rather than borrow one of my many rolls of black insulation tape? I don't get it.

There will be a full class. We have an all girl team being Lisa and Helen filling the gap, riding the Honda four Wasp. Entry on the way. If there is an informative session, count me in. If I can learn one thing from EML or Wasp it is worth it. But being a rider and passenger since 1981, I may have some input also.

I used a company called ACP (Australian Customs Professionals) to import my EML Odd 1. I have no complaints. Cost a bit more cause of the size and weight and for creating. The boat was about $950.00 USD and customs slugged me at both ends. Had to pay GST as I purchased the bike from the UK. Hope this info helps.

Sounds like you all had a hoot at Rocksberg. Wish we could make it but to keep the EML reliable, the front swing arm is getting re bushed at the moment.

I will be keeping my pre 85 EML and it is reliable. I do love moderns and wouldn't mind owning one but I'm with Walter on this one. Can't beat the sound of a field of big twin four strokes thundering around the circuit.

Is there truth to the rumour that it was his neck brace that caused his tragic death?

RIP A.M.

Thanks for the advise guys. Tried to get some to fit up here but nothing. Found an elderly man to turn some up from a chunk of phosfer bronze. Should do the trick with some new titanium bolts.

VMX Sidecars / EML swing arm

« on: April 25, 2012, 02:58:35 pm »

Who knows where I can get front swing arm bushes for my EML? They are rubber cushoned steel bushes. Do bearing suppliers stock such items or do I get bronze ones made?

I'll just take Hansi's passenger Daniel if Hansi can't come. I learned heaps when he had a swing for me on my EML at Moranbah last year. Fastest i've ever been around that track and he said we could go another twenty seconds quicker. Any sidecar schools would be good no matter what level ability you have.

OK thanks. Off topic or not. No need to send cage as it is home made. if it won't fit, I will make a new one. Really need the spring.

Walter. Can you bring some EML air filters with you if you have any and a chain tensioner spring if they are still available please. Thanks.

The bunting will hide the rear disc brake.
