Went to a large Ag Repairs place last week in the Malley to try and get some work done on my damaged radiator while I wait on a new one and guess what? The owner has 2 young sons who both race in the desert on Yamahas and are constantly bingling their bikes. Turns out a place called Race...

weekends are good, Saturday night might be best. I will look into accommodation there eg cabins onsite or maybe a holiday house with undercover parking. Any other SA Fizzers or Mexican Fizzers for that matter? :thumbup:

'So if you hit another vehicle all the repair costs come out of your pocket? Eeep! ' Not necessarily so, especially if you have a good lawyer mate!!! My rego and 3rd party insurance is $520 on the fizzer. Most of it is insurance. In my case I hit a Kangaroo and have probably come out...

Havn't got a second hand radiator Wolfman?Yamaha $549 picked up a side guard for $29, they had one in stock. Also need a plastic radiator guard and a front fender but may end up getting carbon fibre.

maybe some of the other Vic riders might join in. I aint been to Pinnaroo or Renmark but they must have a caravan park and beer / coke / coffee and food. how about early May?

thanks. I washed the bike before I worked on it. didnt dry the forks properly. Just went and checked, no leaks. phew, thats all i need.

looks worse now its out if you look closely near my fingers, you can see the steel putty I used over a week ago to get the bike home. Have to recommend this stuff. comes in crayon form and wrapped in plastic. Black on the outside with a white core. You take a piece, mix it in your...

Starting work on my radiator repairs today, post some pics later on the damage and just had a look at the map. I am doing research in the Mallee and have rented a place in a town called Woomelang. Thought I might put a ride together to meet some Croweaters when the weather cools down (or the...

found a carbon front fender for US$120 plus $35 postage to Oz, bargain and the start of a carbon fibre look. Heading up North Sunday to start fixing the bike and remove radiator etc. Will post some pics on monday.:thumbup:

thanks, does the R6 carbon fibre mudguard fit our bike? anyone know where they are available in Oz?

dont insure my bikes mate, I know, I know. Anyone down under replace a front mudguard? Looks like I can straighten the radiator brackets and the radiator isn't bent, just the side protector. Yeah. Skippy the bloody bush kangaroo aye. Could have been worse as there are deer in the Grampians...

Riding in the dark at Halls Gap Friday night I hit a Wallaby at about 80kph. It was a dumb place to be riding on a hot summers night as it is a national park. Various circumstances lead me to be doing it and I have paid the price. Strangely I stayed upright. I didn't lock the brakes or swerve...

I have recently spent a couple of thousand miles on a heavy bike with a rake somewhat longer than the FZ6. Getting back on the Fizzer I am finding very light steering, lighter than I remember. I know people have had trouble with bearings, does this make the steering heavier when they are...

I was impressed with your R1 exhaust mod and down here in Australia, I would call you a 'bush mechanic'. There was a tv show about some Indigenous kids that drove around in cars made from spare parts found along our dusty back roads, quite ingenious. I am sure they would be impressed with your...

anyone got any photos of BT23's after 10,000 kms?
