thats a no on the maicoletta forks or sliders   and a mabee on the frame and engine for a blizzard

Why Paul?....I'd assume that you mean "no" for pre 65? Those leading axle fork legs came on the Maicoletta and Maico SS 250/360, GS 175/250/360 and MC 175/250/360 prior to 1965 according to Frank Ronicke's Maico bible. I'm intending using them myself so if you've got some hot info on why they're illegal you'd better tell Mick and I before we build our oval barrel pre 65ers .

Sorry for thread hijack....blame Paul .

no means a certain person hasn,t got any

Back to demerit points... (well Maicoletta scooters may earn you cred demerits... ) What have I done wrong, having not racked up any demerits for over 25 years I was forced to pay only 50% of the renewal fee for my next ten year driving/riding license. Bugger.  Sometimes I believe I must be some sort of bottom feeding crawler... Cheers Tim754

Right on the two above posts re Radio in general and scanners in particular, EA and I have been Amateur Radio Operators and Marine Radio Ops for many years, VK2NEA and 2FAE respectively, scanners are permanently on, one dedicated to the RFS channel one general, Aircraft, Cops Ambos, NPWS,Forestry, they keep us up to date about what's happening in our area, sorta news as it happens.

For 21 years EA and I ran a Limited Coast station, VH2RKI and did night standby for the local Coastal Patrol, on 27 meg. VHF and HF. We were on watch  for the '98 Hobart and have assisted many vessels in one way or another.

Here at the River, it's a UHF black hole for VKG and the Ambos, on the day after Boxing day, we had to support old mate, who had pitched his K100 down the road bigtime, for 45 minutes until the troops got to us, they had no Comms, we were able to help.

We are not up to no good or voyeuristic, it's just another hobby, amongst a few others
