Whats this 'it' that Gordys been doing?? Sounds suspect to me......
Actually, Jayracer spectating Gordy doing 'it' - that's even more dodgy!!

Got a video of it?????

Finally got the 1300 ready last night.
After months in the off season, I've finally managed to charge the battery!

Bob, should I check the tyre pressures now, or do it at Hamster Downs syndrome? What if I do them now up to 30 PSI? Is that alright?? It'll be more fun for Hamsters if they stayed at that pressure!

We discovered how many sidecar racers it takes to change a light bulb last night.
The answer is four. We may have pics to follow.

[Kickaha]

Wont fit your one and they're steel wheels not alloy like yours, you might be able to use the tyres off them though

[Fast Eddie]

they're steel wheels not alloy like yours

well la dee da, alloys huh.

I'll have you know there is 1 alloy on my bike, the front slick is an alloy (I think) its much lighter than all the other rims I have.

there is a lovely tri spoke steel wheel in my spares collection..

[jellywrestler]

cyl 2 i think if you go 1-4 left to right looking at engine front on

try again in English, sitting on the bike cylinder one is on the left and four on the right

When you've got your tickets sorted let me know times and dates your arriving and leaving as i'm only a couple of minutes from airport. Will have plenty of tools in van and my mate in Drury has got welders and fabricating gear if you need it during the weekend.

Just had a pxt and phonecall from Glen Murray in Aussie.
He brought the ex Dowman sidecar minus the engine. Transplanted a GS1000 (stocker) in it, and won first time out on it over in WA in period 5 class. Had his young son on it - was his first time also!

Fuken LEGEND!!
