G'day mate. there what sort of riding are you looking at doing, two groups do a night ride on wednesdays and thursdays and another that dose a ride on sunday mornings, they are a little more serious and can so some big rides in a day.
i occasionaly do track days at the drag strip, for fast runs and stunting but they are not regular
Cheers Clive
I am up in Townsville but haven't been on the bike for a couple of months. I keep saying that I will go for a ride but never get around to it.
Cheers
Paul
lol that is too true
hey clive, you have mail.
scotty mac you have mail
Plus I keep thinking that I am going to sell it but I never get around to it and then I decide that I am going to do more work on it and never do. It is a viscous circle. I should have the new shed up by mid March then I will at least have somewhere to work on it. It still really needs USD forks and the tail unit needs work. I am a bit over the matt black at the moment as well but I am not too sure what to do with it.
i now have an srad that is marked for the fighter treatment, but first i have to get it through a wovr inspection, not to much to that but money is a bit tight at the moment. just need a fairing (right front lower) and paint job (once i get the fairing) and it is ready to go.
it will be getting an 03 R1 tail unit once it is registered. :-)
Clive you shouldn't need any fairing because when I did mine it didn't have any on it. Are you taking it through Manheim Fowles on Ingham road?
yes i will be doing that
i thought you had to have it back to orignal to get it though
you don't need fairings to pass a roadworthy, jus can't have any brackets/sharp edges facing forward. it also won't pass if he fairing is cracked or broken.
not talking about roadworthy, that part is easy as, it is just the WOVR the i am worried about.
Nope doesn't need to be back to factory. They are only checking to make sure that it isn't put together with stolen parts. IF you read the fine print they will tell you that it doesn't even certify the repairs as safe. I think when I did mine it was $300 but I certainly didn't have any fairings on it and on a couple of parts I just dowled them back together and put a bit of metal putty to fill gaps and painted it up.
ok thanks Paul that info is much appricated
those potholes r killers at moment....Im up for ride to though been workin all the f%$#%n time
LOL ansen that is the same problem that we all have, hopefully i will get the new job i am applying for and that will leave my weekends free, more riding and building :-)
For you townsville lads. My bike needs someone to look at the wiring under my dash (get rid of it ) any ideas on good auto elecs for bikes. Do you know much about RHD in Aitkenvale. He is a trumpy specialist i think.
RHD is an harly/european specilist, mostly into crusiers etc, they do a lot of hidden wiring on harleys etc,
used to work for Bruce as a mechanic at ormsnell when he was workshop manager there, and also work for him on occasions at RHD.
Cheers Clive
Call out to Townsville, any rides/events coming up anywhere in the near future? I'm somewhat new to the area...
Cheers,
Mitch
not sure mate not many of us up here compares to south qld ,though think you usually see a few flogs cruisin round on sundays up hervey range and also mt stuart or paluma range..im usually about an around on sundys somewhere tearin.
I was up that way last week for the V8s and didnt see 1 bike ...

yeah cheers, i notice there isn't a massive scene up here, in saying that you still see plenty of bikes getting around...
i've hit up mt stuart a few times, not the best surface and a shit load of blind corners, but you recogn herveys and paluma ranges are worth checking out ansen?
yeh if you keep goin up herveys range road over the mountain past the tea house turn off is ok but make sure you got enough fuel as no more servos past the dump,theres fuk all cars or filf so you can really flog it.
there is a servo though its a bout 150k in and i never wanna risk them not havin any fuel lol so i usually turn back at the dirt track which goes up to paluma the back way. or the battery,
going up to paluma via the bruce is ok though usually filth and cars all up the mtn range and bit tight.
ah cheers for the heads up, will defo be checking it out!

Was coming back from riding up paluma today fueling up at rollingstone servo about 1ish and noticed a few nakeds and a fighter headin north ,they gave me nod , just wonderin if there on here thats all.. was nice day untill wind picked up .
Paluma is a cunt of a road. Still jumping off the rocks at Upper Crystal is worth the gravel and fuckwits in cars tryign to kill you being on the wrong side of the road.
if there were 4 of us and the fighter was matte black, then yes that was us, heading up to Ingham wings and wheels show.
