Hello
« on: April 30, 2015, 06:30:43 pm »
Hello,
I'm 25 and recently moved to Brisbane from Sydney, I've spent the past year and a half restoring a 74 CR250M which I inherited from and uncle. I've restored vintage road bikes before (RD250C, H2 750B) but this is my first dirt bike restoration. Apart from what I've learnt while restoring the bike over the past 18 months, I know very little about it. Now that I'm getting close to completing the project, I'm hoping to get some insight on tuning, I also have some questions about shimming the gearbox and installing a stronger kick start mechanism (questions I wish I had asked before re-assembling the engine!!).

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris. I'm just new to the forum and from Brisbane. Your bike and yourself sound like a good candidate for the BMCC at Nudgee. If you're not already a member you should come along and catch up with the CR guys at a practice day. It's a friendly helpful club where you'd be welcome.
Cheers, Peter

Thanks for the warm welcome!
I did look into the BMCC and once the bike is finished I will definitely be joining, it looks like a great club!
