Not many people know that Teknik’s have a mobile suspension workshop ( I didnt :huh: ). How many people know that they will travel and do group suspension setup weekends. So after some discussions with Brad and Nick it was decided to get the show on the road for our north coast Old Bulls.

Once we get a minimum of 8 people (max of 12) and then work out a date, Brad or Nick from Teknik’s will give all on the list a call and discuss what you are wanting from their expert services. That helps them get all the parts for your bike together for the trip and ball parks your cost. It doesn’t cost any extra for them to come to Wauchope but gives you the opportunity to test ride and have it fine tuned on site.

The list so far

Gassit (Gas Gas 300 & 125) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

Rider X (WR250) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

Nickoff (WR250) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

[strike]Puddles (service) (WR450) (number obtained)
Puddles young blokes (service) (KTM65) (number obtained)[/strike]

STM (WR250) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

Micknmeld (XR650 & KX85) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

Nickj (DR400) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

Moose (YZ125) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

Moose (KTM250EXCF) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

[strike]Tripper (XR600) (number obtained)[/strike]

[strike]Unit (450 EXC)[/strike]

Kram (Husky 310) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

Stex (KTM 450 09) (number obtained) CONFIRMED

14th and 15 of August at Moose’s ranch

I have Teknik’s tuned / modified suspension on both my XR and Tenere and can’t say enough on how both bikes are incomparable to their factory setups. Its not only me ask Mal5.1, Scotty, Boulder and STM to name a few. So if you have been thinking about getting your suspension setup to suit your weight, your riding style and are close or can get to Wauchope this is for you.

Any enquiries please feel free to phone me on 0419 421334

OK now I am just waiting on Mick for the motorcross calendar to prevent dates clashing. Once I have that we can start working on date. If you are on the list please PM me any dates in the next couple of months that dont work for you. The day will be held at Moose’s

TB – on the basis that I hang on to the 06 450EXC can you throw my name on the list (if I splurge on a newbie I will be broke). Main timing issue for me will be HVMCC race calendar (kids), I should be able to work around other matters? I hope. A couple of months to organise will be great. Any idea of what the average spend would be? I need to start counting the pennies. Unit

A problem has just reared it’s head with this date. Due to the current wet weather we are receiving the two day MX meeting scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday has been cancelled and rescheduled for guess when.

Several people that have booked in to have suspension work done, have also nominated to race in this event.

Sometimes only sometimes things go your way. They have revised the date and the MX is now on August 21-22 and that only clashes with some election that is on that day :laugh:

All that panic for nothing. As you were .

Are they afraid to do MX in the rain? I don’t get it.. What if you had a multi thousand dollar trip planned would you cancel it.. They should make a schedule for the year and stick to it I say dam committees!!!! But hey I’m just some nobody..

Dead set you guys in Wauchope couldnt organise piss up in a brewery with a fist full of fifty’s :huh: :huh:

You wouldnt know by Chicken littles posts above :laugh: But it only affects 4 of the bikes that are confirmed (maybe not even that now) and those bikes will be done on saturday arvo / evening after they finishing the days racing. They are Gassit’s 125, Moose’s 125 and 250 and Conner’s 85. Racing will be finished by 3 a quick rinse and into Mooses shed as soon as we can

Krusty, just to clear something up. The HVMCC has invested 10’s of thousands of dollars on the race track surface. Being a mixture of loam,sand and saw dust it is now one of the premium race tracks in the country. Unfortunatly, this great surface comes at a cost and that cost is that it becomes a quagmire after heavy rain. We got 5″ of rain yesterday with more rain forecast between now and the weekend. It is still useable for the big bikes but huge muddy rutts will form and the kids in the 65cc and even the 85cc classes will struggle to make it around.If it was a state or national event they would still race but as it is only a club day they dont want to do that much damage to the track that it would cost the best part of $10,000 to repair.

having been involved in fund raisig and track build for such things, Michael is right as a recognised track is a little more than a few mounds of dirt pushed up by some bloke with a david brown and a Bucket.

They are designed from the subsoil up.

I actually reckon Tekniks could turn this into a positive if there is going to be a big club day, all those potential customers in one place, surely a few stickers and a bit of advice to Mums & Dads would engender a little loyalty in return….

The name of the game, turning a challenge into opportunity.
