Bellingen 2022

I hope it gets the correct 50mm cover of Concrete. I do love its simplicity of design.Won't get occy straps slipping on those deformities as well. Probably help with traction on the rear. Win win win. You should get it chrome plated though.

I bow to your point Cosi. Seen so much concrete cancer over the years from lack of cover.

We had precast concrete parapets delivered Highways England came to inspect them before installation and noticed rust spots. a trial hole was drilled and found black tying wire instead of stainless. £150 grand of scrap and a 12 week delay getting them re-cast
 
Ran out of argon, so can't finish the welding but everything's tacked up and I'm reasonably happy. When doing something like this you mainly work out how you want to do the next one better. I can still remove seat and sidecovers with it in place.

Topboxes are a bit of a turd, but I've been wanting to try one out for the convenience factor and I had the givi plate and topbox sitting around that Dad had handed down to me. Givi have a smallish box that maybe doesn't look totally terrible, in silver or black, which I might look at getting later. But for this trip I'll be rocking the huge plastic blobby one... will be hard to miss! :D

I dont agree with it Vince, experience tells otherwise, I’m with you, but apparently engineers know better, precast is a little different, im gonna say steelies had no idea how to tie panels or obviously follow a spec, you get what’s your pay four…. I’m assuming 1/3 to 1/2 the proper price

Top boxes are very convenient Batto, but boy do they fuck with the way the bike handles 👎
 
I have a dry bag that's going on at the rear of my dual seat and probably half my rack for my sleeping crap, what's got me worried is actually getting on the bike. By Ballet days are well in the past, and so are the 400 hurdles.

Interesting, can you tell us about the carbies and airbox? Clearly not standard, I am guessing CVs and a carbon fibre box...

cheers,

I had the same before going to Miks, it's the Doug Home kit of Kehan CV cabs from a Honda BIG, 1000cc Honda 4 and Doug's homemade airbox.
 
Yep, airbox is fibreglass, good improvement in idle, mid range torque, fuel economy. When are we going to meet you bazzee? Club meeting this wednesday night.7.30 at bath arms hotel burwood.
 
I just thought I would give those that are comming a quick update.
Despite the media's dire warnings of impending doom for the Mid North coast we only got a couple of days rain.
The forecast for this week is pretty good with occasional showers until Tuesday 4th when 10mm is forecast.
I suspect the southerners will be wetter getting here than they will be while they are here.

There are still a couple of folks who have said they are comming that have not paid (they know who they are).
We have over 80 starters!
The first arrivals are on Wednesday.

Have a safe ride and we look forward to hosting another Aussie Laverda event to remember.

Cheers

Might actually be able to make it to the meeting. Significant other is going to a show at the Opera House that night.

cheers,
