Nup, but Aidin did, he was like 'Where did the bike go???" and then a few seconds later, "Oh, it's there, andthere, and there...."

Was the exact reaction expected!

Looks like i saved myself at least $1000 today on the TRX re-build...managed to find a seat unit, and front fairing in OEM red, the same as the bike i am re-building, with as new clear lens OEM indicators (front & rear) included, all original paint in top condition, with all original decals, and original mirrors, for just $400!!!

Was going to cost me about $1500 to have the front fairing fixed, painted, and to find mirrors & indicators, and do similar with the seat unit...

Win!

Hey guys. Did any of you SA Fizzers hear about the fire at Holden this morning???

Guess what, it was in my plant. I'm part of an early start-up crew (only 6 of us), did our normal start-up which includes starting the washing machine.... Now, this thing is 6 metres long, 3 metres high and 2 metres wide...(Not your standard washer...lol). Hold 5200 Litres of liquid, and the last third of the machine is a dryer.

Well, something went haywire in the dryer bank, and flamed up. We hit it with 2 dry powder extinguishers but it just flared up again. Time to call the MFS and hit the evacuation siren... All this at 6am in the bloody rain.... Argh!!!!

Got out of work for nearly 3 hours, but was damn boring guarding a door so people wouldn't enter the building (toxic fumes from the insulation around the washer).

My bit of excitement for the day...lol

I am surprised you didn't set up some deck chairs, and start toasting some marshmallows...after all it is only a Holden factory!!! ;)
