    Australian Safari Legend Allan Cunynghame has just registered for Scrapheap 2013!!!

    Great to have Allan on board. I asked what he was riding?

    ‘The bike is not to exotic but has a bit of history it’s an 2000 XR650 with the side covers off the last bike I rode in the Baja 1000 and the head light is off the bike I rode in the 1991 Australian Safari ‘

    Dougie “Bullfiddle” Bull is a key member of The Hillbillies SAR4 team, a double-bass player extraodinaire and purveyor of the finest used bib-n-brace overalls in the region. Dougie is a powerhouse of ingenuity and design but the wiring on the XT500 is a puzzle! The big bunch of wires in his hand goes with the other bunch of wires on the bike apparently, but as this photo was taken rather late in the evening, anything could have happened. The ever so slightly manic look on his face isn’t much of a departure from normal, but it’s a bit of a worry when he gets to looking like this……

    When I visited him yesterday at his workshop in beautiful downtown Mayfield he was as always supremely confident that the XT would come together in time for the SAR……. the photo might suggest otherwise but I saw all the bits, looks to me like he’s going for a flat tracker theme and I reckon it’s going to look great. He started to talk at me about the way the total loss 6 volt system used a capawhatsit to drive the prosicator……..replaced with a 6-volt dry something or other…….negative reverses on the ignition…… well when I woke up we were talking about exhaust pipes and he was shoving some bits of exhaust in the back of my car, apparently for a an exhaust mod on the BEEMERNATOR …..

    Nearly there, nearly there!!

    Time for a few thank yous before we head off into the wild blue yonda on a red hot honda.

    1. A big thank you to all those that have found it in their hearts to donate some of their hard earnt to such a worthy cause.
    2. To those rat bags the joined in on the bago brekky ride,( I had a ball) thank you.
    3. A big thanks to Demus ,,without this bloke I would be a spectator, what he has done for me is unbelievable.
    4. 2 of the local bike shops, Cycletune and Bikes and Bits, there support with cheaper parts and services has been a huge assistance in getting the scrapper ready.
    5. Jimmy from Moto National for the donation of a RXT adv helmet and a pair of motodry ADV riding pants. cheers mate, my shout for a bourbon when we get back.
    6. For those wondering why the scrapper is wearing a EVAN PROPERTY CARE sticker, Wolfie donated a brand new O ring chain to my cause and the sticker is his bussiness, so if you need some property care stuff done contact Wolfie( I need a phone number wolfie)
    7. The family,,, with all the rides I go on the betta half is so supportive of my passion. Thanks Trae, you are my rock and your a legend.

    Ok thats the softy stuff done….

    BRING THIS SUKA ON B) B) B) B) B)

    Boony
