    Looking like a cock is reserved for me. Piss place will be decided on the day.

    You will also need to be a member of a motorcycle club then you can rock up and purchase a day licence for the event.

    Yep, rain or shine there is racing.
    Have a look at the results for the first three rounds for bike numbers being used

    If in doubt, nylon it. Have you put you bike on it's side to check what touches the ground?

    Yes, or have nylon nearby on the forks as they WILL hit the ground WHEN you crash.
    I used a lathe to drill and tap an M6 thread into the ends of the axles and put nylon bobbins on from there. They don't need to stick out heaps.

    Take care with nyloning, sticky out bits never expectd to touch down in a crash can and the track owners are not amused when it happens.

    It's worth making sure that bolt heads etc. are recessed into the nylon.

    Sorry to make life hard.

    Have a look on the easter thread. You need to belong to a MNZ affiliated club, like Vic & can get day licences I believe. Contact Skunk. Bike will need to be nyloned on any contact areas for a crash & have folding pegs & usual race bike stuff (see MNZ site for those rules) & other threads for Nylon ideas.

    Wrecker or Trademe for a master cylinder, I thought AX were so old had cable brakes, but never paid much attn, you can get rebuild kits for them, ask at a bike shop. Or just buy another one with the same size. Will be written on it underneathish in metal & say something like 1/2 which is the bore size, 1/2" or 11 which is 11mm.

    could risk something like this but it will be Chinese & no idea of quality.

    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Did you buy your AX from Dave? If so did it have a little round pot master cylinder, a "Brembo" one? If so get hold of Bert, he may have one you can buy from him.
