Next week?

A spot of building in the shakey Island is it Mainline?  ;)
Best time to come over would be for the World 125 Twinshock champs but failing that anytime we are racing is all good. I better try to get some bikes running.
If at first you dont succeed, give up and drink beer

I've been working on making the work ute amphibious since I saw all the earthquake damage on TV, I reckon it'll take me a week by sea to get there. I'll let you know when I've docked ;D

Qwinsland = Cuba now?
Personally, I'd prefer to live in Cuba - there'sa lot less Qwinsalnders there.  :P

Not from there and don't live there, so the answer is No.

In Canberra, "He's moved to Qwinsland" is a euphemism for "he's gone to goal". True story.

Mick,having seen close up and in person what you had to start with,and how its turning out,mate, I reckon that is going to be one very nice bike when its finished..

I used to drink a lot.

thanks Mark,
it was a pile to begin with for sure.
i should get a few more pics happening to add to this.
wasn't really meaning to show it to the world just yet but good old Mainline can't keep his gob shut.
time to get in the shed and see just what i can do with the motor.

One boost bottle is enough for most Yamaha blokes Mick.  It will really fly with 6 of them.  How you going to connect em all up and mount em  ::) ::)

Looks good by the way.  Another bucket of bolts made into something cool  8)
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

looks like the boost bottles were required by the restorer to get the project this far

he was onto his seventh when I was talking to him (or attempting to) on the phone last night.

When I see the work of others it makes me ashamed of my efforts. Great work Vandy!

well, it's been a beer free day so far, just started the bike for the first time {3rd kick! 8)} then rode it briefly around the backyard in first and 2nd. looks to be all set for its first outing in 2 weeks time.
very happy so far with just a few small things to do that won't take long.
the motor feels a little "fluffy" down low but its still running a 50 pilot jet which i'm suspecting is a tad rich for this baby but i'll make that adjustment if needed after a ride.
here's some pics :)
