YEE-HA!

The sign of relief must have been classic on my face this morning.

I rocked up to Carlton VICROADS 8.30am interview, having passed about 5 boys in blue on the ride in (no numberplate etc, etc) filled in the paperwork, checked the numbers and Bobs yer uncle…

REGO!!!

Now I can start the pinestriping, exhaust tunning and wait for summer!!

IT PASSED THE ROADWORTHY…

Bejesus!
Got to Dereks and tried tightening the headset, only to find it seazed on solid with a small adjustment! Something not right here me finks, got a new headset and bearings from GPS and found out that the bike has been running an old no-bearing race bottom cup, and the forks had been running a bearing race, so in went the silver baws all greased up with no where to go other than around smoothly, and bobs yer uncle… well a wee bit of fettling of the front brake/speedo cable etc.
So I have to give a big shout out to Derek for his handy work and patience. Cheers!
watch this space for a rego sticker, GULP!!!

Roadworthied and ready to go…NOT!

Well, I set out on thursday morning, to be at Eurobrit at 9am for the roadworthy. The scoot road well, first real ride I've had and it was sweet. To date we have had a new front end, fork/headset/linkage/spring/damper/hubs/shoes/internals on the scoot. Front brake works now, not out of true all sweet. So back to the roadworthy…Loose headset bearings PAH, all good apart from the loose head, so back home I came with my tail between my legs!! Not a happy camper!
So fingers crossed if Derek (scooterlabs) and I can get it tight on tues, back I will go to get the cert to be on the road. Watch this space.

(Below are the most up to date piccies, new race seat and base, front end etc. (if it fails again it might be up for sale so any interest drop me an email)
