I believe that's the sound of a no 8 hook being well and truly grabbed by the fish!!!!followed by some line singing out...... Fixed the pipe yet?

did ol mate find out why the 420 died?? (I haven't fixed that shock, its still sitting in the vice)

tell me grasshopper why u want 400???

Whats wrong with the "team USA" wr 400 at Robz rides???

Nah Haven't got to the pipe yet.

The Robz bike is a bitza - frame loop chopped rear and under engine, CR type rear brake stay and hub, side cover leaking into g/box (or it was when I spoke to him early on)...I'd like an original one that I can restore. It may be a team USA bike, but just not for me.

Not sure what the issue was wih Shoey's bike.

Hey Bud

Ole mates name is Rob

The 420 failed only because it siezed.

Prior to this , it had Completed 5 Rockley Rides ,1 canowindra ride , raced in VMX, completed two Harrows (one being probably the worst because of the deep unrelenting bogs) , more than 10 big trail adventures and been thrashed by more people than i care to remember at 4 classic dirt events .

Not bad for a machine that requires very little maintenance.

Once completely overhauled it will do the same again

You should buy one Bud , my twelve year old nephew could maintain it for you as they are that easy to work on. But he would charge you more than Paul.

Well it never stopped hurling rocks and sticks at me on that first loop at Harrow, ive never followed a bike that took such a dislike to my presence .

it had plenty of go and that's a great testimony to the ability to sort them out.. just goes to prove, you only hear the bad side of them.

why on earth did it seize, it should have been so "run in" after that campaign, a seizure would have been the last thing on its mind. must have got an air leak?

a mate had a new 500 in 1984 -85 and it gave him nothing but trouble only finishing 2 out of 7 events. he wasn't what you would call switched on with them but I thought it was one of the best bikes id ever ridden.

I will let you know why it siezed after we dismantle the engine this weekend

All being well , with the new parts we have available in the workshop it will be up and running in the next week or two.

We are thinking of giving it a little spruce up whilst the engine is on the bench as it is a pretty original unrestored bike

Don't pretty it up 2 much or you will be too afraid to ride it...
