Oh hi Matt. Yep at work. One nite to go. Give us all an update on your rebuild. That EML will go like the clappers when it's finished.  :o

Yea , I think that rebuild kit should work a treat . ;) A Kroeber ignition , good shocks and together with your talent , you should be knocking on the door with a reliable and good period looking unit . .
Ok so when should I expect to see the Kroeber and the shocks? :D
Sounds like a sponsorship offer to me? ;D

I never remember Geoff saying the DR was anything special except for the exhaust-we cut the muffler off, so I don't know about a 750 anything. I'll have to ask when I see him next. I'm sure the extra ggs came from his right hand-and some of the lines he took.

EML. I was talking with Max when we were in Victoria during last years bike bonanza and he told me the story about our DR having the same internal parts as the one you raced. Geoff may or may not confirm the capacity.  ;D

best roll-up for outfits for years, not so many sidecars but lots of interest in passengering and driving and even more new outfits being built than I thought including two absolute new boys/youngsters building a GR650 based on the roady frame-that will be interesting. Lots of folk coming along and having a go and some saying 'I'll go home and tell my boys about this' so that will bring even more young'uns. 
Gazi suspension have offered to sponsor the spectacular (press release to come so you heard it here first) Greta News!!
Qld could well be more than 15 sidecars by then which may be an all time high.

Dont forget to mention to road going outfits that a rally is on to the same venue that week end.
