    Welcome aboard Kristov,

    Good to have another Vicco aboard. Keep an eye out for rides coming up. At least if you keep an eye on this site it means you wont have to talk to Menace to get details :laugh:

    T.driver would have/should have told you about the rides he’s been on with us.

    hope to catch up with ya soon.

    After spending more than 20 years in Off Road racing and with links to an engine building facility, one the most frequently asked questions is “why does my engine use oil” so I thought I would share with OBT some common and not so common causes of higher than normal oil consumption in no particular order. Most of you will already be aware of the reasons as to why, but this is for those who may want a little more information.

    .

    Never assume most know. I’m forty plus years old and only been back on bikes for the last 2 years. Shit, i only took a back wheel off for the first time the other night to get a new tyre fitted and while i was there watched the fitter and asked exactly how the rim lock works. Had to get the manual out to make sure i done it right. A little embarrassing :blush: but i bet there are plenty of others who wont admit they dont know certain stuff.

    So for me this all helps to expand the knowledge.

    Cheers, JAK :)

    What more can i say that hasnt already been said.

    This site has given me the opertunity to meet and ride with like minded people which i believe has turned into a solid friendships. (some i like better than others but i wont mention Menace’s name here :P )

    Looking back over the year we southeners have had some great rides including the high country, Paddys, Wombat and Glenmaggie and now that we have more members down here i see 2010 being even bigger and better.

    Merry Chrismas to all and have a safe one.

    It’s easy when you know how. From past experience i know that a panel will come off somewhere but if you dont pick the right one you crack plastic.

    Now the next problem for you xy is my flux capacitator, does the stator screw in clock wise or anti when trying the inverted conversion from rtzx102 to rtzx103 ? :laugh:
