Wanted / CX500 or 650 Circa 1980's or a BMWR650 same vintage
« on: June 24, 2012, 08:21:14 PM »
I have an uncle in his 70's that has just restored a car that has kept him busy as a tribute to his son who lost his battle with cancer a couple of years ago.
He has finished the project and as an old motorcycle mechanic for Lloyd Campbells in Tassie is looking for another restoration job. He asked me if I knew any one that might know where to get a CX500 or 650 circa 1980's or a BMW R650, I don't, so thought you guys might know someone with one that they wanted to off load.
He does not have much money, just needs another project.. so if you knew anybody with a dust collector please let me know. I know its not VMX but though someone out there may know someone..
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards SLAWESY

Just got back from Day two... weather held off all day. No photos from me today unfortunately. Every body in good spirits and happy.. 
Seemed to be plenty of photographers around including Ken so there should be many more photos to see.
Also noticed quite a few GoPros, so hopefully someone will post some track video. I think that you all will be impressed with the facility and the track if you get the chance to see it.
Next mission: to get the numbers for the Pre90 Champs in Tassie!!

Jeez this's a decent save
Your not kidding KB171.. I did not know that I had that shot as the camera was on auto. If you saw the photo on its own you would have to think he "binned" it...

Great days racing at the Pre 78 Championships, could not want better weather, or a better venue. 40 strong gates made for brilliant racing. Unfortunately Qld’er Mitch Semmens badly broke his arm and it ended his day. Brad Van Barello just about won every race he was in, absolutely dominated and does not look like slowing down as the track cuts up with use.
I have uploaded a few photos, not too good but better than nothing. Spectator viewing was quite a distance from the track so it made getting really good shots hard unless you had a big lens. Going again tomorrow, hoping the weather holds out as another top day is on the offering. Every one I spoke to were happy with the track, hopefully we will get to use it again after the Nats,

Any Queenslanders making the trip? If so any room for a bike or three? If I can get bikes there and fly down I will make the effort.
Brad, I'm booked to go with the ute and the two bikes and all the other crap I'm taking down, you know, like the fan!!
so i will not have room for a bike although I would be happy to take my trailer down (that I was not taking) if you wanted to pay for the extra to get it over the creek on the boat. Give me a call if you think the proposal has legs.. Cheers SLAWESY
