Rider Update:
Bruce is coming from Queensland
Bike is an ’89 KLR250.
The bike was part of a deal my son did with someone for some electrical work. ($300)
So it sat in a shipping container for 4 years in Mackay.
Being a mining type electrician all over the country type young bloke …
the container ended up in Tin Can Bay…
Of course the bike had no electrics at all and exhaust cam sprocket spinning on the cam,rusted out tank bla bla
I’m fairly used to that sort of stuff…
Anyway she’s up n running now and Rego’d..
Last Easter I was out at Noccundra Pub with my partner on our FJR1300 doing a bit of a camp trip and came across Shannon Parker doing his 2nd Scrapheap run on his stuffed Gold Honda XL500s
After helping him load the Honda onto a flat top semi heading back to Brissy, I said to Deb
“I’m going to do that next year”
So there you are…the whole story
Interesting bit is that I only have 4 days to do the trip.
Adds to the challenge.Cheers
Bruce

Wez Jenkins
Hi we are the Team Nic and Wez. Having brought this bike for a grand, thought this would be a great event to enter for its maiden voyage.She is a GSX1100EF, which looked way better in the Bike Sales photos, lots of corrosion and a motor that was unknown at the time. (Other than the sellers, please buy me burst!) Have put three loads of oil through her so far and had the clutch out. Amazingly the motor is very good; it just looks like an unwanted child; broken indicators, mirrors, fairing. I don’t think anyone ever gave it a high pressure clean, the grease under the RH side and surrounds was incredible!
Have a few things to tackle before the ride, the front fork seals need doing and the fork legs have the most rust i have ever seen! The carbs need a balance and the broken bits replaced. Thanks to the support of my local club (Maffra Sale Vintage Motorbike Club) she will be on Club Plates for the event (Victorian Red Plate Scheme for bikes >25years old) A couple of local businesses are helping out as well; Fozzy’s Motorbike Repairs and Marathon Electrical.
Overall getting the bike ready isn’t really that big of a challenge and the location really isn’t that far away for us. I have never raised money before and i see that as the biggest hurdle. Hopefully we will reach our target of $5k and good luck to everyone else raising money as well!
Cheers

The Kanahooka High School scrapper project is underway. It was a bit of a logistics nightmare getting everything organised by we are up and running. The bike arrived at school today and the students will begin working on it tomorrow. We have a countdown going as you can see from the photo. There is a lot of excitement around the school and many faculties and subjects are assisting through kindly donating their time, expertise and money to the cause. Students in our Small Motor Maintenance Group are preparing the motorcycle. Industrial Arts are providing technical assistance. Geography students are planning the route and the Art Department are painting the motorcycle.
