Sam says hi, unable to make it due to previous commitments. next time…

Can help with stuff. will fill the Ute up with whats needed if I have it. got many tools and 30+ years in the automotive trades. will work for dobros and a yarn. also have hoarded parts in the shed somewhere…

Keen.

Had to take the prostars off (boo) and put them back on the hilux. (Yay!) brought 3 used tyres, got 2 fitted and balanced. put the 3rd one on myself because I have tyre levers a home. And poor. found a new Taiwan tail light for about $110. new wiper blades. checked brake pads, “ yup still there” got a wof.

Had to “polish” the casting marks off the rear calipers to fit the 14” prostars. its fine… taking it for a wof in the next week or so to get a list of things to fix. can’t see too much that needs urgent attention. mirrors are held on with tape but work. cracked tail light, but minor. was parked because it needed a set of tyres. and a clean.

When I got it home. just needed a battery to run. and a wash

Slime on the inside rear windows is from previous owner carting farm animals in it. smells like a farm shed

Needs a bit of work, but drives mint.

Put some wheels on it for a wof.

Gutted I couldn’t do the ride. got as far as rollerston, stopped for a bit. too crook, turned around and went home.

Had to replace the motor on the xr125. small bolt on the end of the selector drum for gearbox fell out. 2 gears a time. only once. at the top of port levy in the dark, after a couple of do bros. fok. now has a cbf125 power plant, with the xr head. rear brake is finally worn out to the point of jamming on, have to flick the lever up with my boot to stop it dragging. new brake shoes have turned up, job for the day before I ride. Looking forward to this ride. cheers.

registered. bring it on.
