Correct me if I'm wrong but when you get an item shipped through the Ebay Global Shipping, the tax is 20% or just above for some reason, if you get it shipped via USPS I have found it is 10%.

I have spoken on the phone to Willy once and his English isn't the best nor his emails but he has always come good for me on the stuff I want , be it a bit on the slow side though.

A few years ago Rosco organised a mini bike reunion for us guys that were involved in riding & racing the minibikes back in the 70's in Victoria.
I remember a few people before the reunion were worried about the cost factor of the event, all I will say and I reckon I would speak for nearly everybody that were there that night it was one of the best most well organised events I had ever been too and the memories from that night money just can't buy  .

Honda / CR125M1 Crankshaft

« on: April 29, 2013, 08:58:51 pm »

Hi , just wondering if anybody can help me with some info as I am trying to rebuild my CR125M1 crankshaft, I recently found a new connecting rod P/N 13201-360-310 that has two notches in it but what confuses me apart from the Honda chart is what big end pin and the needle bearing P/N's I need for that connecting rod  .

Had the pleasure of talking to him a few years ago when he came back to live in OZ about some Roo Link frames he made for XR80's and RM80's back during the late 70's and early 80's, his memory was like it all happened yesterday with some great stories, next day he sent me in the mail all these photos, ads and how many frames etc that he had built and one prized autograph from him.
I was a nobody and he had the time to talk to me for hours about those great times back then in motocross history ,to me that just goes to show what a real gentleman of our great sport that he really was.
RIP Kelvin
