General Discussion / Re: Thor Lawson Shop Caught Fire!!

« on: September 21, 2011, 05:16:44 pm »

A update on Thor Lawsons/ Evolution Suspension Products Shop Fire. :'(

Looks like Thor has had a a set back but will never give up!

Email below sent to me by Thor today.

Hey Col,
This is for you and all the guys down under and on the OZVMX site, please post if you would please.  For some reason my user name is not recognized, maybe since it's been awhile since I last posted.
 
When it rains, it pours here!  During the clean-up, we had an earthquake, small by west coast standards, but enough to do damage as we were 20 miles from the epicenter.  Only nuisance here was shelves of parts falling over and having to pickup and resort.  Then Irene hit before I could complete the inventory, we lost power and internet for a week, but had a small generator to maintain basics in the house, after the power came back on, we had nothing but rain from what was left of Lee.  Getting around was a wee bit tough, groceries were in short supply in town, but we managed.
 
Finally completed and submitted the inventory to the insurance company on September 8th, but we are on the back burner while they deal with claims of those that lost or have damaged homes.
 
Meantime, we cleaned out the old 10'x10' tin shed I started in 12 years ago and have a shop to do rebuilds.  My brother-in-law and a friend I race against donated basic hand tools and tool chests.  We cleaned up the tools I machined and are irreplaceable, bought a few things that were absolute necessities to rebuilding, and I resumed working last Thursday.
 
While I'm waiting on the insurance company, the goal is to clear out all rebuilds and do what I can to have the restoration work ready for the next step. 
 
Next step depends on when the demolition and reconstruction happens.  The electricity will be cut off out here, and will either have to use generator or run some long lines to the house.  Either way, I will figure a way to keep working and catch up on the lost time.
 
Resumption of powder coating and plating is the next step I'm working on and effects you, when, depends on the insurance adjuster completing his part and how soon and quickly the rebuild happens.
 
Col, wish I had completed your work before this and greatly appreciate your patience.
 
Thank you to everyone for their emails of concern,
 
Thor

This is the email that I got from Thor the other day. :'(

Hope things go better soon like mainline said he has vast product knowlage and is aways willing to help or point you in the right direction.




Hey Col,
Back on the 11th, I was just a day or two from finishing your stuff, then I had a fire in my shop that evening.  Everything is at a standstill while I complete an inventory of the losses which I expect to finish this weekend, weather permitting as we have a hurricane coming this way.
 
The building, most hand tools, all machinery, plating tanks, and all powder coats were destroyed.
 
Your shocks are fine, been blasted but not painted or plated yet.  Forks are ok, but I may need to redo the fork legs.
 
Not getting any work out is killing me financially and I'm doing everything possible to speed the recovery and get back to work, but there is allot to be done.  Hopefully the insurance company will provide funds for tools and new shop in a quick manner after I finish the inventory.  The old shop has to be taken down, tools bought or ordered, I hope to bring in a pre-fab building, then wire and finish interior.
 
How long I can't say at the moment, I am very sorry for the delay in getting you and everyone else taken care of.
 
Thor

Just found out that Thor Lawson's Evolution suspension products work shop has caught fire he has had a bad year with snow storms, health , a fire and the hurricane just recently on the East Coast.

Thor is a top bloke a I hope all is not losted and no customer equipment damage?

It would be a bad thing if a bloke like Thor had to close he's doors for the VMX community.

Hey Karl

Great work again!!!

I have got two custom alloy swingarms and a custom alloy air box of Karl and all items were professionally made and fitted perfect.

Karl always returns emails and lets you know how your custom orders are going.

Keep up the great work and thanks for using you skills to help the VMX community.

I looking forward to getting a alloy tank and swingarm for my 83 Maico MC 490 spider made by KLP soon !

Hey Bill,

Great to hear that things are getting sorted and you are feeling better.

Had us a bit worried thinking that if Bill is passing out on the first morning of riding then how am I going to be at the end of the weekend.  Mate you look fit and ride like a demon so sort of blew me a way!
Thanks for the laughs and hope to catch up soon with the NZ crew soon

Cheers,

Husqvarna / Re: Husqvarna WR400 1986 Mikuni jet set up

« on: June 19, 2011, 05:27:07 pm »

Hey Mike,

Tom Hatrick of Mikunioz sent down these spec :
I gather this is a 2 stroke in which case I'd expect the VM38 to run (1982 spec) with a 45 pilot, 6DH3, R4 and a 450 main.

I am getting the carby sorted out by someone in the know and that has heaps of Husqvarna knowlage.

Thanks for the feedback will let you know when I get it running right?

Cheers
Col
