When I said WP kit I meant Forks, triples and brake bracket.

I had a great weekend.  In line for 3rd in the 60+, but rode a bad third leg, ended up 4th - still crash hot result.  Bike started every time I wanted it to, got the gearing right after qualifying, only got jammed in the starting gate once, back brake worked like a light switch, either on or off, got my usual lousy starts(too much rough red, Darcy!), and had a mile wide grin all weekend.
Just like 99% of all the other competitors.  The other 1% will know better next time!

Three cheers for all the workers & volunteers!!  It's so easy to just show up and ride on the day, but these guys & gals have put up to weeks into the event, so maybe the individual clubs represented by all the competitors should write a letter of appreciation to the organising clubs, for the great job they did to make the event such a success.

ah yes Walter, you may remember me, I was the guy on the PE175 who blitzed the field in evo 250. Let me know how you would like to handle the transfer of goods to my shed ;D

That was a great Nats  :) A huge thankyou to all the people who made it possible for me to ride the event .

Vale for the leave pass and support from home  :-*

Brad and his family for their generous hospitality again  :)

Brad for letting me ride the mighty Greenstripe  ;D man that bikes cool 8) and gave me my best result of the weekend ;D

John and big H for all the support pre , during and post event  :) Johns bikes would have to be amoung the best looking and well prepared bikes at the event  8)

Dodgee for  the bikes including what would have to be the quickest TM 125 i have ridden (shame about the pilot  :-[) and the ongoing help and support :) Dodgee & Doc first helped me at the coffs titles and i hope one day they i will be able to return the favour this side of the ditch  :)

Doc for the moral support and the crate to ship home some of the aquisitions that have been clutering Brads shed for the last 18 months
the crates now cluttering Johns workshop  ::)

Alll who were involved in running the event , it was a very well run event on what would have to be the best VMX track ever. I cant think of another track where the real VMX bikes and the kettles could coexist so well  ;D

Awsome to catch up with mates old and new and put faces to forum members who i met in person for the first time .

Great company , great racing, great atmosphere  :) what more could a bloke ask for  :)

I enjoyed it that much i'm coming back for the Qld Titles at the end of the month  ;D

PS if anyone picked up a well used UK passport at the event with a devastingly good looking blokes photo in it, the British government would like it back  ::)

Where can the results of the nationals be found I have tried that Sunstate web site but nothing comes up. There is nothing on the QVMX site.

Well done to the organisers it was a great event.
I just wish they did not wet the track so much at night.
I was one of the mud monsters sent out for the first practises on Friday morning.
I took two hours to get the bike clean enough so we could work on it.

IF we didn't water overnight there would have been dust from mid morning onwards instead of mid afternoon. Does suck for the first one's out there, But just how it has to be. We didn't get our lucky NSR3 rain as what normally happens

I was refering to the more common 43mm kits Leith.I believe you that 38mm kits existed because 125' s had 38mm forks back then(some years) but I never seen an actual kit with adjusters for 38 mm.Only simons,terry ,pdi,Al Baker fox etc.

Is there any updates on the health of WA rider Bill Copley who crashed on the big downhill and had to helicoptered out? I was watching the crash through my telephoto lens and it sure was a doozy. Naturally I was so shocked I forgot to press the shutter button! I was told that he'd hammered his shoulder rather badly but hadn't heared any more since Sunday.

Firko - I haven't heard anymore than the 7 broken ribs and punctured lung.  When I spoke to Paul he said he would be in hospital for a few more days at least before being allowed to fly.  Apparently he was coming along OK though (as well as could be expected as he was bruised and battered).

Leith of course I knew that you were right but I am just confirming  here.WP knobby fork kits are listed in the White brothers 1983 cat.
