Anyone know where I can get alloy rear sprockets to suit RM125B still in 428 chain size?  I'm chasing 59t or there abouts, thanks.

I'm chasing left & right chain/axle adjusters to suit RM125C if anyone can help?  Not sure if any other models would be the same?

Thanks.

General Discussion / Broadford vintage track update
« on: October 03, 2011, 04:50:50 pm »
Hey Guy's,

Just thought I'd give ya's a bit of an update on the new Vintage / Natural Terrain MX track at Broadford.  A few vintage riders have ridden it and they seem to like it.  Dust will be a problem during Summer; we should be able to water the flatter area's near the pits quite easiliy; so we'll see  :-)  If this track gets the support and a following, I'm sure MV will be forced to locate some water sprinklers.

I just received a couple of K's of Yamaha barrier tape, to go around the circuit, today; Rosebud club has a hare & hound there this weekend using part of the track so I'll string up the tape next week.

I've picked up a few van loads of car tyres that I've painted white and placed around the track; it looks like a race track now :-)

Weekend just gone I rode the track in reverse; was even better!  I'll build a couple of jumps that work from either direction; if we want to swap directions from time to time.

I'll get Johnny Coleman to grade the track this week (I'll bribe him with a carton of his poison) and I'll post some pics soon.

We only want to use this track once every one or two months so we can get the grass growing; every time we ride on it I hope the track to be all grass.

Stay tuned old farts.

Suzuki / How much $ for optional RM125B alloy s/arm?
« on: September 21, 2011, 10:38:30 pm »
I have a friend that owns a wreckers, he has a genuine Suzuki 'optional part' alloy swingarm to suit an RM125B, it has the tab for brake-stay arm.  How much should I pay for it?  Is it cool to have such a part?  I haven't seen one before.

Hey Guy's,

I'm looking for all the stuff that goes in the airbox (filter, filter frame, cap, clip) to suit RM100B/C, RM125A/B/C or PE175N/T.  Either used or leads on finding new stuff, thanks.

General Discussion / Free test day @ Broadford new track last Sunday
« on: September 06, 2011, 09:31:26 am »
Hey Guy's,

You are the only riders that are invited to ride the new 'natural terrain' track at Broadford this Sunday.  I have gained approval for this day under the 'working bee then ride' rule, so we will walk the track first with shovels & mattock for a final clean-up, then we can bust laps in the arvo.

The weather, in the lead-up, and on the day is looking perfect!  There will be an Interclub roadrace on on Sunday so the canteen will be open.

I think if we get there about 9.30am we should be right to ride soon after 12 noon.  My vintage bike isn't finished yet so I'll have to ride my modern, so it's cool if you bring your modern but it would be good to get some 4" feedback lol.  :-)

I hope a few of you guys can make it.

General Discussion / Working bee @ Broadford this weekend.
« on: September 02, 2011, 07:20:25 pm »
Hey Guys,

I know it's late notice but I'm going out to Broadford this Sat & Sun to work on our new vintage / natural terrain MX track, just inviting any Victorian riders to come along and assist.  It's still in its early stages yet, you can give your input into final decisions on the tracks shape.

I have a couple of guys that are up for Sunday, I'll be there Sat & Sun from 10am onwards.  Anyone that can come, if you have a shovel or chainsaw you could bring that would be great.  The caretaker 'John Coleman' said that he'd be at the ready with his Bobcat.  If we can clear some over-head branches he will be able to get in with his bulldozer.

We will get looked after quite well by the Broadford Manager if he sees that we are prepared to put in here.

Anyone got a rubber-band start gate they can donate to the new track I'm building at Broadford; most clubs have gone to individual gates now, there could be one kicking around?
