  Hi 370,
             So are you saying you have a MX3. I finally picked up my MX3 a few weeks ago. It has taken about 12 months to get it. It still has the original tyres with the original Canadian air in them. I can't wait to strip it down and go through everything and take it for a ride. It will fit right in with my MX1 and my MX6's.

  Hi,
      TM Bill yes I do own the other bike.
 And Brad the bike has a 'B' frame, motor, front end, tank, seat, wheels & pipe. The rear guard is a 'c' model.'B' rear guards were not in stock when I ordered the plastics. I guess I am saying putting a Roles Royce bonnet emblem on a VW does not make it a Roles Royce.
 Bill did you hear that Kiwi's found two more things they can use sheep for ..............wool and meat. Sorry could not resist a chance to have a go at a Kiwi.
  Hi Ajay, you forgot to mention that 'B' models were available with a alloy swing arm. 
                  regards,
                             Alan

  Hi,
      Brad as you can see from Kanes reply I did get all my facts right before I made my previous statement. Nothing was said in the protest about the bikes being 'C' model bikes dressed up as 'B' models. It was the Fork caps top tripple clamp and the rear brake torque arms. I believe it should be you who gets your facts right before making some of the statements you have here. So I will accept your apology in advance.
    Neither Kane or anyone else went over the protestors bike with a fine tooth comb as stated elsewhere. I know Kane or one of the others could have lodged a counter protest and most likely had it upheld, but that would have brought them down to the protestors level. We all could have left to go home about midnight then.
  I believe Big K said it nicely 'what a load of crap', kane and the others were not concerned about tin pot $2.00 medals they just wanted to get their bikes and get started on a seven hour trip home.
                               Regards,

 Hi all,
         To all those who were involved what did you think of the bulls..t protest after the last race of the day which held every thing up for a couple of hours? The first protest against the bike that ran second in that race and was subsequently disqualified was because it had a set of longer than standard fork caps!!!. The protestor claimed that they INCREASED fork travel and they should not be allowed in pre 78 class. Unfortunately both the protestor and the adjudicating officials are not aware all the extensions do is to raise the air valve up a little for easy access (NO PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENTS!!). I have a set on a bike at home, they came from the U.S. and I believe they were made by Wabco, were readily available as period aftermarket parts (Legal?). Until clarification on this point I will have to take them off before the Queensland titles or risk a possible protest against myself. The second and third protests were against the two bikes that ran third and fourth. It related to the modified rear brake torque arm. The claim that the torque arm running up to the frame was only available on the 'C' model and gives an unfair advantage shows the inability of the protestor and officials to comprehend the spirit of a legal period modification. The advantage that was supposedly gained is non existant due to the dynamics of cable operated rear brakes. According to the protestor no one did this modification to their bikes in 1977 (Big call worldwide!!!). Bikes with a cable operated rear brake do not gain any advantage from this modification any way, but again I had better change them all back before another protest. In the mean time I will be asking M.A. to clear these matters up.
