2015 Harrow Vinduro, July 25-26.

[cr750]

The Vinduro Penrite Team have completed preparations. We'll pack the trailer tomorrow and head down to Wodonga as the first step in the 2000+km round trip.
This trip makes Sarah and my 3rd Harrow, and Mark is continuing his unbroken run since its inception.
We hope to get to our accommodation just outside Harrow late on Friday arvo.

See you there!

You guys going the long way round

You guys going the long way round 

We've got a drop-off at Broadford and a pick-up at Ballarat. I don't think there is a shorter way with those constraints.

Normally I wouldn't, but my own sources on the ground have confirmed this info.

I'm looking forward to it. Finished prepping the fourhunjie tonight and was going to pack the car but CBF.

Just need to remember to take a camp chair as I will be firecrashing tomorrow night (Tex) and it would be impolite to not bring a chair 2 years in a row.

Just started absolutely bucketing down here. After Beaufort and Hopetoun, I dont want any more cold wet rides...

apparently 2 sizes bigger on the main jet was no where near enough to support the mods I made

Doesnt look good, but pistons are cheap at yambits.

In my enthusiasm to not pack the car friday night, I missed a few things...

Had the car loaded yesterday morning, went to put the bike on and noticed I forgot to put the bash plate on after I replaced the clutch. Put that on and upon getting up off the floor, I lent on the pipe which went clunk.

It shouldn't go clunk. Whole bloody thing was loose. Pulled it off and found holes in it in the welding that happened at hopetoun. So a day of fun and excitement with the MIG and high temp paint to hide the welding...

Prolly would have near frozen to death at Harrow anyway.

I will have to split the cases, bottom end full of alloy particles

This beautiful little Hodaka was at Harrow on the weekend.

[fred99999au]

Was it a display Geoff or did it get a lap in?

Actually looking for a few rider reports other than "filled the bottom with melted piston pieces"...

Spewing I missed it.
