Maybe later, in the meantime here’s a photo of the guys in the pit next to me borrowing my tools

Don’t take the buggers home and let them eye off your ‘after racing’ red wine supplies Andy.
Hope the Mrs has the fire pit stoked up, ready for you to bbq!

A Ken McIntosh framed Suzuki with rider Dr Rodger Freeth won the Arai 500 at Bathurst in 1982 by over a lap. They dominated everything in NZ did well in Oz for a number of years. I may or may not have seen them testing the bike on several occasions on very straight quiet roads. I guess you need some conditioning for Conrod Straight?

Is it me or the picture, but the fork stanchions look weedy for a bike of that weight?

Great tool, know of a couple of them here, and the folk are very pleased with them. One made the pilgrimage back to the factory last summer without drama.

Yep 35mm forks!!! This one has Maxton cartridges as Mark noticed.
Surely nothing can go wrong with a big water pumpwhat could possibly go wrong?
.. a Maxton Suspension front end?
(Yep Maxton fork conversion.)It's actually a Mille GT!!!! Understressed, reckon it fits in with my type of back roads wandering................

Is it going to be sharing the living quarters with the Jota and AE?

Yes, currently cowering in my shed out of the relentless rain.

Gunyarra floodplain down to one lane yesterday, again. Ya reckon they’ll close it soon? Believe I head north tomorrow….

Hard to say, water not going anywhere for a while. We're getting heavy rain now and looks like more to come today but intensity should be reducing over coming days. Looks like they intend having the one lane traffic control in for a bit but high tide might see it go over
Lake Proserpine now over 100% and water going over the dam spillway, probably head up to have a look later today if we can get there, doesn't happen often so a local attraction

Maybe a proper wet season, then!

Yep, been quite a long old style wet season with every water way chock full. Has been absolutely torrential rain here for most of the morning so gave away the idea of trying to get to the dam, many creek crossings will be subject to flash flooding. Be surprised if Goorganga Plains (Bruce Highway) isn't closed this arvo for at least a while as all this water flows..............

Lovely, and if the what the Detectorists series has done for the TR7 is anything to go by, the Capri is about to get another leg up too, with the Mackenzie Crook series, Small Prophets.

It's automatic. 2 speed. It ain't no Mille. Well motor is similar. Nice wheels and seat.

I wouldn’t know the front of a Guzzi, from the back….. not true, the headlight is at the front.
