Mate I was thinking of looking around up their myself  ;D.
I will make the trip if I can get my RM465 from oldfarts in Ormeau to Gatton. Its a 7 hour stint each way for me but if the RM can be gotten to Gatton it would make the trip worth doing. If anyone can get it their im happy donate some dollars towards fuel cost .  ;)

Was holding off until after Gatton mate. I have been toying with the idea of going to the swap but its snuck up on me fast. Only have till Thusday to sort something out, cos if I am to make the swap I will need to leave Thusday.

We just have to get it from oldfarts to my place and I can do the rest.
I will be working on the "Darkside" next week in Mt Gravatt, we might be able to tee something up.

Evo. Sounds great. How far is it between you and oldfarts place? I know Stew is flat out with work at the moment and wont have time to take it from his place to yours, maybe another QLD vmx'er has a spare moment and could convinced with a little Cash, Beer or Parts.  :)

Time is getting away I will need to make travel plans in a day or two.

Does anyone know if camping is allowed Thusday night?

I might be able to help on this one; I live not too far from Ormeau and I work in Stafford on the northside of Brisbane.
So, if I can collect the bike from Oldfart I can take it to work one morning this week.
Evo can collect or I can drop it at Evos. Too easy. ;)

Let me know.

Ok - If you don't mind I wouldn't mind throwing another twist in here - along with some dollars and many beers of course ;).
A certain Mr Quicksilver has a bike that belongs to me that he would be willing to bring to Gatton for me.  Any chance someone could bring it from Gatton to northside Brisvegas for me ?  You would be hansomely rewarded of course with beer / petrol / cash / first born child / whatever .
The tank will be wrapped in about 20 layers of bubble wrap (is that right Quicky  ;D )
I am in Brisbane on business often, so it wouldn't take up room in your shed for too long.
Thoughts anyone ??

Oldfart...
Yeah mate, may as well if the guys dont mind. Only the RM a box of bits and PE bottom end aint it? Ive lost track  ::). If its a problem just the RM465 will do. Other bits we could post or freight on TNT if need be

H........
You know it Tony. I'll look after that tank.  ;) As I said buddy quite willing to haul it up to Gatton if you can arrange somebody to collect it. Would have to 100% certain as I wont have room to bring it back if its not collected. I am already returning with 4 bikes plus whatever other junk I buy up their all crammed in one Ford ute. ::) No trailer on this run.

A top swap is was. Big thank you to all who helped with transport of bikes. The RM465 is home save an sound.
YZ250H your bike delivered too mate  ;).

Gatton was tops for me I couldnt be more pleased with the week end. I purchased fair amount of early British bike gear for my AJS and BSA.
 MX parts I did pick up for my Elsinores. Most pleased with 1973 CR250M seat for $50. 1974 CR125M air box for $10, super clean 125m tank for $30.
