JB i know what your saying we use to have a water jump off the wharf at Windsor Bridge, Unless the bike broke the water first it use to hurt big time. I allways remember back flipin (which back then was un-heard of) and landing mid flip on my head and sitting the rest of the session out due to brain slosh LOL.
AAAAhhhh to be young and fearless again!
and thin LOL

He's had a few negative feedbacks with a similar story. I'm still chasing it up with PayPal but don't like my chances as the frameset was being delivered to Damon's - not my address. Not sure how PayPal treats that situation.
How did you miss out on that?
6am here, going out for a ride.

Nice looking blackhawk, I wonder how long the piece of tube must've been to make the twin toptubes and looptail rearend.
Yep, big rides you'll be able to see before Christmas I hope. I'm working on a short (like really short) mountain bike movie.

AT BUNNINGS !!!
Hey lads, went to a Thursday 'training night' last week and had a blast, many of you blokes racing in 30+ cruiser classes etc?? The track has changed quite a bit from what I remembered 20 odd years ago (man that makes me feel old!) those jumps are going to take some time to
conquer! Here's a pic of my mate have a go, check that last straight! Wifey says to buy a new cruiser one of those 'old things' has to go so I'm in 'Dilemma man' mode!

Bradster there's a few of us down here in Melbourne racing, although we're now all in the 40+ classes (20" and cruiser) I think. A few in Sydney as well. Sounds like you have got the bug so a new bike is probably in order. No need to get rid of one though, just hide it. I think Dugga is a master at doing that. Tracks are definitely not one or two jumps per straight any more. More skill less power these days which isn't good for some of us as I think going to the gym is easier than learning how to take some of the jumps and rhythm sections.
Yeah Jarvi-what's with all the jumps the length of the straights now! Yeah been to a couple of practice days and pretty well hooked (again) been wanting to have another go for years-what made it happen finally was a new person at work mentioned they raced and it was on from there-I'm really enjoying it just gotta get some Kuhunas up first to get those jumps sorted!
Don't worry Brad, the brakes still get a good workout when I'm racing. Speed and endurance isn't the problem for me, hitting the jumps too fast is the problem. A quick tap on the brakes and all is good. Just takes more time on the bike and that's where I let myself down. So many bikes and too damn lazy to put one in the car and head to the track...
Bradster, do'nt get to excited tracks are very different compared to 20 years ago and will bite you hard as soon as you tense up the littlest bit.
GO slow and take your time its not as easy as it looks.
Where is that track in the photo ? Its not hills track is it ?
Great to see your giving it ago, keep us updated on your progression.

Wanneroo track, that rythm section is a heap of fun. Have you been down to a Friday night clubby; we were getting good sized cruiser gates there this time last year?
glenn , congrats to bunnings queensland on the diggers .... with delays like that you'd think you were living in adelaide (at least 1 year behind)
Yeah Brad I forgot to remind you about the 2 broken collarbones that were totally my fault as opposed to Dirtboy's who was a multiple bike accident. As caferacer says, go slow to begin with and better to be slow and straight rather than fast and all over the place.
I just wish I could control the adreneline(?) a bit better although the couple of accidents did help. Also, don't be afraid to put the pads on the elbows and knees/shins.

Hey Waza, I haven't seen a new Mongoose build for a while. Is everything all right?
Just thinking about the scarcity of tyres these days makes me think whether all those skids I did were really worth it. Thinking about it a bit more, yes they were because doin' skids is fun.

Wow Christian. I gotta get me some of that stuff. Now get cracking on shining up that fireplace too . . .
Got all the parts sorted for the JMC. Last item to confirm is the date for the hubs on the 7B wheelset below.
Suzue high flange - am hoping the decal dates it to 1980 or earlier. Can anybody confirm this please?

Just wanted to post these to see what everyone thinks (need some better shots). Got the frame and forks off Roberto last week and had to build it straight away.
Nice!!! Looks aggressive
Yeah guys, that track is Wanneroo raceway, they've been very welcoming to me down there, and I'm keen to have a go at a race meet soon, can't afford to have a big spill really, gotta go to work the next day-like most of us, so yeah will be taking things slow-will endeavour to get some better 'Action' (haha) pics this week!
Broke-what ratio roughly for the oxalic/water mix? I soaked a frame recently and whilst rust was removed, I was hoping for a little better result, I let it soak for about two days but think I diluted the mix a bit too much.
That GT looks a treat-the wheel set is awesome!!

Does anyone have a black haro flo panel numberplate they'd be prepared to let go of? Could swap for an ET numberplate or Cash. Also after a Haro Series 1 Plate in white or black for a redline build.
I'll remember those wishes and keep an eye out for you. It's going to be a tough search though.
I've only ever seen one all white Haro Series 1 plate NOS on eBay and I got it about 2 years ago. I've never seen a black one (all black) on eBay. I have seen two Series 1 plates with black faces and white sides . . . I got one of them.
A very old shot of some of my plates. Lot's more since this shot taken . . .
My original race plate from 82/83 . . .

ACGTO - that GT looks awesome - Race ready!
The only thing I do not like is those goddamn awful A'ME 'America' grips.
Truly garish and not old school.
Prosight was ruining his builds with those grips - please change yours!
