Yeah that's why we stopped doing any big events, way to much money spent, for very little track time. Even worse, if you have probs in the first moto and you have to pack up early.
We get heaps of track time on club prac days though, most people don't even do the final round..

General Discussion / Re: ebay calculated import charges increase.
« on: January 24, 2019, 08:17:22 pm »
I noticed it the other night as well 
Also put 4 of exactly the same items in the cart, Ebay calculated postage prices varied from $66 through to $188, but only had the import charge attached.
Ebay have screwed it for themselves....

Fake News ;-). The US Postal Service is operating as normal. From their site:
“Postal Service operations will not be interrupted in the event of a government shutdown, and all Post Offices will remain open for business as usual,” said Linda Neill, strategic communication specialist, Denver, Colorado. “Because we are an independent entity that is funded through the sale of our products and services, and not by tax dollars, our services will not be impacted by a government shutdown.”
Any shutdown is caused by Democrat intransigence. Like it or not Trump received a mandate to build a wall.
USPS was left open under request from the Australian Government......Loss of GST income would would have created an economic collapse in Australia.
How the fork can we be charged GST on postage charges from the U.S ?

Brakes ?
According to MA you don't need them.
Below is an official response I got from MA regarding a brake rule question.
Thanks for your email; and for your patience whilst I passed on the enquiry to both the Classic MX and MX/SX Commission for comment. Both have confirmed that your brake system is suitable. For the MX Commission it simply needs to be a brake that “works” i.e. slows down that rear wheel to assist with stopping.
The Classic MX Commission do not require you to have brakes at all (as per the GCR’s) however should your machine be deemed “unsafe” on the track, the Clerk of the Course has the right to remove it. You would not be deemed unsafe on this machine as it has been presented.
Hopefully this answers your questions, if you need anything further please let me know. Best of luck with racing!
