It seems to me MNSW is responsible for this delay for the most part.
This problem should have been fast tracked by MNSW management as a priority, as the Annual Two Day Nepean Charity event is a major item on the calender for grass roots motorcycling and for the charity of choice.
A lot of work has gone into organising all aspects of this event, not forgetting the responsibility of keeping faith with the various businesses that have made donations.
All being well I will finally get to try out my slider after stripping down nearly a year ago and making mods. etc. It's been frustrating waiting, the first opportunity was rained off, the next was cancelled and we/re still being "Ft" about.
Any how with help from Grassy, my local wrecker friend, my local auto elec, mate Hal and "Battery World" I've made my own electric starter. COOL! Various pushers will be pleased!
Cheers pancho.
