Do any of the Aussies on this board live in Adelaide ? I'll make this brief, but my dad's old partner from CMC lives in Adelaide and he is in a bad way, his name is Kelvin Franks, he's made amazing motorcycle parts for the industry back in the day and we are trying to reach him, he's in his late 70's. If there is anyone who can help me out I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Email me, I have a close cousin in Adelaide who's a highly respected doctor for the aged. She has a highly respected geriologist friend in Melbourne who could help too.

Sandy submit your request on either www.fullnoise.com.au or www.mossyonline.com.au as both these aussie forums have heaps of Adalaide industry dudes who could help you.

Sorry to hear about Kelvin Sondy, my brother used to do some welding and machine work for him back in the day. He will be in my prayers

Sondra, Rod knows a few people here and there that have been around a while, he is going to have a dig around and see if he can find anything for you.

I spent a week or so at Kelvin's back in the early 80's. We stopped by on the way to Hangtown for the National and he helped us some on a bike we raced in the National. Our prayers go out to Kelvin and the entire Frank's family.
