Honda for Magoo

[firko]

HELPING OUT A MATE.
As you all no doubt know, our friend Bruce "Magoo" McFarland is going through a pretty tough time of it health wise and because of ongoing treatment he's been unable to work.
In a bid to help Bruce and his family through this difficult time in their lives an anonymous member of the Sydney VMX community has generously donated a completely restored but not quite finished 1979 Honda CR250 to be sold, with all proceeds going to Magoo to help pull him through this tough period.
THE BIKE: 1979 HONDA CR250.
This magnificent machine undergone a ground up rebuild with no expense spared such as:
* The engine has been fully rebuilt using only the best in N.O.S. and aftermarket parts.
*New DG pipe and silencer.
*New Novation swingarm.
*Fully restored and rebuilt '81 Honda 41mm forks.
*New YSS shock absorbers
*Rebuilt wheels with new stainless steel spokes, Excel rims, new bearings.
*New Renthall 'Fat' handlebars and risers.
*New Magura levers.
*New Gunnar Gasser throttle.
*New stainless steel wide pegs.
*New air filter.
*New seat cover
*New plastic all round with spare new side covers.
The frame was stripped to bare metal and powdercoated and the tank was painted with twin pack the correct shade of red to colour match the plastic. New graphics were also fitted and clear coated.There are two each spare OEM brake and clutch cables.
The bike is within a couple of hours hours and a few small parts of completion. All that's needed are :
* A new Keihin (or Mikuni) carb
*A new chain
*A brake arm.
*A chain guide roller
*A few miscalaneous nuts and bolts.
If anybody would like to donate the needed parts (chain, carby, brake stay, chain guide/roller) it'd be going to a good cause.

The bike is being offered for the best offer over $5000 which is a steal considering what's been done to the bike. If interested, PM me and I'll put you in contact with the seller.

C'mon Guys we all know that Magoo is the first person to put up his hand when someone else needs help, so turn it up!

More stuff to come from me as well, just got to go find some...

[TT]

I've just blown the budget for a while on car stuff, but I'll do everything I can as well.

Bugger this getting old thing................. all the good blokes are getting crook.................

I know we took this auction thing to new heights during the Noel Clark fundraiser and that many of you contributed financially well over and above anything we'd expected. Unfortunately Magoos illness has unexpectedly come along so once again we plead for you to open your wallets to support a bloke that would be first to put his hand up to support you if the situations were reversed.

 E74 has kindly donated a new old stock 1984 CR250RE Tank to auction for Noel. Who's first to bid on what must be a very rare item?

Well done Firko for getting things rolling for Magoo and family.

Thanks for the nice words Trev but I'm a minor member of a small but very dedicated team on this one. Bruce has a number of good mates who are doing as much as they can to assist him both financially and emotionally without making too much of a fuss, as Bruce has requested.
 I guess it's evolving that my contribution to the effort will as the spokesman for those selfless individuals who'd rather remain anonymous. Trust me when I tell you that if I was stuck in a bunker during WW1, I'd want these blokes next to me.
