Sorry Col, I missed your post.

I've spent lots of money... Got new plastics, new pipe, rebuilt crank, new spokes, new mousses, blah blah. My local bike shop* owner's eyes light up when I walk in...

Just gotta put it all together now...

*Wright Motorcycles in Yass NSW. 02 62264188. The boss is an active VMX racer and vinduro rider. Highly recommended.

If anyone is interested...

 The eagle eyes will spot a few missing bits, but they're all fixed now. There's a stack of new bits that haven't arrived yet >:( - I really wish the new headlight surround and "UniTrak" stickers were here, in particular.

Very best of luck at the 4day Nathan hope you and Steve have a great run. Your bike looks excellent well done.

Last time I spoke to Steve he was getting close as well.

Yeah, I wanted to build one of those old-style cages to go around the pipe, but I left myself short of time...
The armadillo guard that's on it is mostly just for show - figured it was a 'period accessory', although they used to be much tougher than this one.

The old bike has an identical pipe on it, so I've got two chances before it becomes a real problem...

Moose still do a guard in the same style that is of a decent gauge. M610 part no. if you're interested.

For those that are not aware due to the ongoing drought in my part of the World the worst I have seen in my 20 years back home, I made a commitment to pursue a new career path outside of farming, sometime ago I had an interview with AGL in Gloucester and was successful in gaining employment .Due to recent Government approvals the manager required some one to start within a 10 day period  I started with AGL last Monday on a 2 on 2 off roster this meant I am unable to ride the 4 day, as disappointing as it was I am very grateful  to AGL and I was never going to jeopardize the chance to give my family a better opportunity . I would like to thank everybody that has supported Riders Against Depression and I will continue to help raise awareness for this cause ,and support Nathan  . Regards Stephen
