A kind soul that lives near GMC with a YZ250G/H
« on: October 14, 2008, 08:34:33 PM »
I'm looking to get a GMC pipe made for the 250H.  Unfortunately he can't do it without the bike.  Problem...bike in Cairns - GMC in Melbourne - over $1500 for transport there and back.  A long shot I know and a big ask, but has anyone got a G/H to model a pipe on that they would be prepared to lend for a while ?

There are plenty of kind souls on here (and I try to be one of them) but by the time you add the "close to GMC" and "250G/H" parts there ain't too many folks left.  Hey I have to try.  After all everyone from here on in with a G/H has the potential to benefit.

I will pay petrol for someone to drop their bike there, plus a carton of beer for the trouble.

I would prefer to keep my money in Australia if possible and if GMC can provide something I'd like to give him a go.

Not holding out much hope, but you never know.  If no luck here it will have to come from US  :'( :'(

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

Hi YZ250H,
                i`ve got a 250 g that is complete and original and don`t mind if GMC takes care of it for a short while, i`m sure it will be in safe hands. Let me know if this helps you out, i`m about about an hour from GMC and could get it up there most weekdays.   Peter.

You are a legend Peter.  I didn't think this would be possible, but there you go.  I will coordinate with GMC a little more to see when he wants it.  Then we can sort pout the other stuff like petrol money etc.  An hour is a long way to go out of your way.  You sure you are up for it.  At least then GMC will have a jig and he can make pipes for all of us  ;D.
I will get onto GMC and PM you when I know something.
Cheers

No worries, not fussed about the fuel money etc. half a day out that includes motorbikes is a good brain cleaner for me. Peter.

When you get to GMC, ask to take a tour of his workshops and give us all an inside look  :o :D

He just does hand crafted.
I was after the OEM look for a bike once but unfortunately, he doesn't do them.
However, better quality workmanship I don't think you will find.  ;D

Hey Geoff your smaller crowded tidyish rural back shed workshop appears to have turned into a mega industrial super building. No it is a small one man workshop with a very amiable time poor fella running it. :)

Anyone's welcome for a look, but you will have to sign confidentially agreements before entering, & be prepared to be searched upon leaving. Allow several hours to tour from one end to the other ;D ;D

Actually, don't turn up in the next few hours as my workshop was turned into a shearing shed late yesterday & I still havn't finished sweeping out all the sheep dags.

Its a strip search, full body cavity as well, beware (not speaking from experience, only what i have been told) on the upside it may also include prostrate check?  :D

That's why I want one.  To me that is a work of art.

You are a very generous man Peter, but you must let me buy you beer or something  ;)

Hey Geoff,
Shearing sheep! Now that is a new use for a Tig welder!!! I would love to see the look of fear in their eyes next spring.
OUCH!!!
