This company is from the UK but has a branch in Bomaderry NSW Australia. I've purchased a few things over the last 2 years or so, they have been great. I went in on Tuesday arvo and bought fork seals and a front brake cable for an early model DT1 250 and they had them in stock. No hassles about the age of the bike or anything like that. jimson

Yamaha / DT400 The last of the twin shock model

« on: April 11, 2019, 04:08:20 PM »

G'day viewers, I have enough parts laying around the shed to build a DT400. It would fit into the last model for twin shocks. My question is, are they any good for a bit of vinduro or bush riding. It won't be standard as it'll be built with mostly what I have here. Thanks jimson

General Discussion / Sciatic nerve

« on: August 09, 2018, 08:08:19 PM »

G'day viewers, I've been suffering for years with this and I'm going to physio on Tuesday this coming week & was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with this and how did you deal with it ? I can't ride a motor bike as it takes over my right leg and the pain is farrrrrk'n uncomfortable. I rode a motorbike back from Sydney a while back when I arrived home I had to put the stand down and just fall of the side of the bike as I couldn't lift my leg or put weight on it. jimson
