that bike followed me for miles one time a long while ago, well I say followed, me and Alan (Bell) had to keep stopping at junctions and waiting for him to turn up again. Remeber that one Alan, a great ride was that!

Oh dear,the sale of the Sprint. Never thought that youā€™d sell that bike Shaun. Was great fun on the BFN tour and had hoped to recreate it for the 75th but it appeared that that age and lethargy had fallen upon the groupšŸ˜„. Didnā€™t care as I went anyway šŸ˜‚

Well Tom, I would have gone but I'm up to my neck in getting my Portuguese house habitable. I missed everybody, that's for sure.

Good stuff Ian.
Unfortunately more tracks get closed than build these days.
As I was saying the Albany Motoplex has been in the pipeline for over 10 years. Lots of hurdles to jump.
Financed by the State gov and Albany city council so you'd think it'd be rubber stamped but nah.
Pretty sure they have started on the road curcuit. 300 kays to my nearest circuit in Collie. That's a great track after they extended it, now 2.7 kays.

You're right there Rob..
New owner gave us all a run through of the process in getting the place restored and going again.. admitted that as per rumours the State Government chipped in 1 million $$, then went on to tell us that he spent that in the first 2 weeks.. :ROFLMAO:

:cool:
 
Finally took TOG (The Orange Gonad) for Warrant of Fitness. The local guy (40 km away) is on indefinite injury leave so had to do a 230 km round trip over the Lindis Pass and back, what a fag!

Never fan of a sequel :ROFLMAO:
 
I know! Compensation for the isolation. Lost the left mirror somewhere in there, wasnā€™t stopping to look for it.
 
You might think after more than 30 years I would have rear chain adjustment down pat, but I always make the same mistake and over-tighten it. It got a bit loose over the 5 day Snowy Ride plus I got a couple of comments about frozen links so it got a solid squrt of Penetrating oil. That loosened it up a lot, even needing an adjustment it won't pull back off the rear sprocket so I am hoping for some more life yet. So back to adjusting it. So I thought 1/4 of a turn, no better give it 1/2 a turn to be sure. Get on it to check and it's as usual way too tight. Back it off to 1/4 and that's it. Checked wheel alignment with the big compass tramil gadget from the swingarm centre to the wheel centre and all is good. Forgot to check the brake light so better get back to that.

Itā€™s always the same that final tighten on the axle nut always takes it a might too far
 
His last post in August says he is off to Thailand in September since then nothing. Maurice has tried to phone him but no reply. I know he can be abrasive but I had a great laugh with him on our BFN trip to Breganze.
