Thanks again to those who have donated so far. Today I paid for my server hosting account for another year - $305 of which $290 was provided via donations. Thank you all so much.

Please if you can spare a few dollars to help keep OzVMX up and running, I still need to raise $600 for support and platform fees.

An update on donations. I don't want to come across too heavy here, but while I am willing to dip into my own pocket a little to keep this forum up and running, that only goes so far. As I said above, in the past when I put out the call for donations I get enough to almost cover my costs (about $1000 a year). Mostly that's in the form of $10 and $20 donations, though a few larger ones sometimes come through. So really I am not asking for a lot from people and I certainly don't expect every member to donate, especially in this day and age. But... so far this year, I've managed to encourage just $150 from over 1000 members.

I spend a couple of hours most nights keeping the forum sorted, the webpage going, and trying to keep up with the crap on the Facebook page. I don't like doing it THAT much.

Please, if you can spare $10, do send it along using the details above. Thanks so much to those of you who have donated so far.

Thank you to those who have sent me donations.

It all helps - my hosting/support costs comes to around $1000 annually so it isn't small change. Most years I get enough in donations to cover much of that but I usually have to dip into my own pocket at some stage. I must admit that Facebook seems a better option to me - easier to manage and no costs at all. But the forum format works better.

Remember, any donation is very welcome!

Here we are, the middle of 2016 already. And 12 years since I started OzVMX, Who'd have thunk?

Anyways, my various hosting fees are now due, so I am reaching out for financial support.  If you enjoy the forum and the web page and you can spare a few bucks to keep the show on the road then I'd really appreciate your help. 

Please send any donations, no matter how small, to me via Paypal - gmc99 at bigpond.com

or via direct deposit to

And of course, if you don't like this new-fangled electronic stuff, a cheque to Graeme McElligott at

will work too....

Remember, this is not expected of anyone and the site will continue all the same. But if you can help out, it really is very much appreciated.

Cheers

I have decided that this thread is not in the spirit of the OzVMX forum. We've been down this sort of road before and members made it clear they did not wish to see various dirty laundry aired here. If there is some kind of debate needed between these two clubs, then sort it out yourselves. if you want it to be public, one or both of you can set up your own forum (say a page on Facebook) where you can manage what is said, and manage the visibility as needed. OzVMX forum is NOT a club administration forum.

OK, look I'm sorry, but this is a private matter between you and the seller. I understand you are frustrated, but there are plenty of formal channels you can pursue. the forum is not the place for settling business transactions. You've been given a fair platform to air your concerns but conducting business via the forum is not on.

Thanks, yes that is very helpful. Quite a bitza and how or why I ended up with it I have no idea!

You're right. The brake plate is 23X-00. Axle size 19mm (both the bore on the plate, and the ID of the wheel bearing still in the hub is about 19.3mm).

130mm ID, and the prefix 3R4 as far as I can see. So it's a YZ250G hub?

Hard to say I suppose. It looks pretty similar to the older RMs, but I am no expert on the RMs.

Here, courtesy of VMX Unlimited, is the 76/77 front guard:


And the 80 front guard which is what I think mine is.

For Sale / Brand new DC Plastics front guard to suit 79/80 RM

« on: April 12, 2016, 09:46:07 PM »

Brand new, never used front guard to suit RM250/400N/T (and 125 I suppose?). I believe this to be a DC Plastics guard that I bought for my RM250T resto, but the colour was lighter than the rear guard and I liked the darker colour. It looks like it'd be fine for a racer.

$50 plus postage.
