    Has anyone done any work on the motor previously ?

    One area to be aware of is flywheel removal.

    The end of the crank has an oil gallery and if damaged can affect oil flow to the bearings.

    No other ideas sorry, looks like a few dollars are going to be thrown at it though :(

    I’ve taken out a tree or two as well :whistle: (Gavb can bear witness to that) :laugh:

    Plenty of damage to the pride :blush: a bruise or two :dry:

    Twisted guards and squished radiators :S

    But the DRZ pulled through, so with any luck yours will be OK too ;)

    Adam.

    Please explain?

    STM

    I rang Tania (I think it was) to book and she said she needed to contact the organizer and would then call me back.

    She didn’t give any details as to why she would be contacting you :unsure:

    Thats all I can tell you.

    Mick,

    Thankyou for a great weekend ;) The experience was awsome and I had a great time trying to keep up with the 85’s and trying to keep ahead of the 65’s on Sunday :laugh:

    Saturday I managed to go from one bog hole to another, starting with the creek crossing on the seniors track, then ending up with Rebore, Fossil and the other boys that took turns at the bog hole and slippery hill from hell on the juniors track :huh:

    At one stage at the juniors hill from hell there was a bike laying on the ground rider on ground and three sweeps also lying on the ground two of whom were sliding down the hill heading for the boggy creek, man it was slippery :laugh:

    To give you an idea the seniors rode the same section on Sunday and at on stage there was a 20 bike holdup leading to the closure of that section. Gotta hand it to the juniors they persisted with that hill all Saturday and none gave up ;)

    One funny moment for me was waking Rebore on Sunday, I gave him a shake and he woke up swinging :ohmy: He must have been dreaming of one of his bouts with Mike Tyson :laugh: :laugh:

    It was a fantastic weekend, met a few more Old Bulls, got to ride at a fantastic venue, and watch some of the best riders going round. :woohoo:

    Next time I’ll make sure I have a new rear tyre, it may help save me from the embarrassment of falling off in the first bog hole in front of pit lane on the pre race sweep. Hopefully everyone was too busy preping their bikes to have noticed :blush:

    Thanks for a great weekend guys :)

    Adam.

    Not sure how late we’ll be yet so my need to stop at Kew pub for a feed if they close early :whistle:

    Adam.

    I would say you’d be pushing your luck by 8pm. That is only a guess.

    No worries Mick.

    Were aiming for 6:30 but you never know :unsure:

    WE are getting a heap more rain on the coast, than they are up there, going on the BOM site.

    Dunno what Protty is thinking right now, considering the weather.

    If it is cancelled at the last minute. We will still do a good ride…somewhere. :S

    Most likely Bago or the Cells.

    I’m a firm believer in a contingency plan and this one sounds like a ripper ;)

    So barring hail (and I’ve been on Old Bulls rides in that too :laugh: ) it’ll be a great weekend :woohoo:

    Can’t wait :woohoo:

    I’m hoping the rain we’re getting doesn’t head your way Mick :(

    We’ve had 24mm in 2 hours with a total of 93mm since yesterday evening :ohmy: however it has eased off for the moment.

    Our creek has flooded and washed away our back access track so I my have to swim to save the tractor (make that Sam as he left it out :angry: )

    Still looking forward to the weekend :woohoo:

    We’ll be up Friday arvo not sure what time yet ;)

    Adam.
