10/5/2023 2:44pm So I have finally got some land now and got the old girl out to feed! I think the source of my vibration is a loose headset 😀🤦♀️ after a few blasts she’s actually a ripper! Got heaps of smooth power and plenty of it from the pipe and reeds. Just need to get it idling properly and make a...

7/22/2023 2:46am so i have replaced the bungs in the silencer with new OEM and also replaced an extra hanger on the exhaust. Its a pro circuit and it seems to be the source of the vibration. When you give it a strong rev its moving, i dont know if its because of the power valve maybe incorrectly adjusted or something but...

6/18/2023 1:11am have had some dramas getting the old girl onto the dirt. Could not get the radiators to hold water so had to get a hose kit and then of course the 35 year old Y Junction just fell apart in my hands. Luckily one came up here locally on Ebay. Managed to finally get a set of clutch bolts and...

4/4/2023 1:41am Gudday from Isolation in Australia! I picked up this pile recently and the plan is to just check it over and clean it up to ride a bit of Vintage Moto if we are ever allowed out again. It’s got good bones from what I have seen so far. A few small surprises on the tear down but nothing too...

4/4/2023 1:12am So put a similar size bolt in the clutch just had to kick this thing over. Some nervous moments and she started second kick!!! 👌👌👌👌👌🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 could not believe it. Looks like she’s going through all the gears and the clutch seems to be working. Just need to start her a few more times when my neighbours aren’t home and find...

Looks great Guzzi! My Dad’s last race bike was a 1995 YZ250 that he sold to his friend in January of 1996, his friend has maybe ridden it 10 times since then. I saw it a year ago and it’s a straight up time capsule, all original other than tires, air filter, grips, and the those sweet old school levers with the cutouts for your fingers that my dad fitted up way back then (can’t remember the name of them). If he ever lets go of it I plan on snatching it up to display with his number on it...

4/4/2023 1:06am Disaster struck on final tighten of my clutch springs snapped a bolt 🤦♀️ Had the tig out and was just about to operate and I thought, why not just give it a little “nudge” with a hole punch and see if it moves… hey presto came right out! 😮💨

3/31/2023 3:58am Wow another 4 months has gone by… 😭 I finally got everything to button up my top end and have spent many hours swearing at my brakes. Front brake is a mixture of new yz master cylinder old yz caliper that’s now fully rebuilt. Getting the brake line to run through this stupid inside fork guard setup is wrecking my...

11/18/2022 10:06pm Taking 5 steps forward and 15 steps back at the moment 🤯 waiting for worlds slowest order of OEM parts before I can tighten up things. Have been pulling my hair out trying to get brakes to work. Every time I put something together I find something else that’s either flogged out, missing or not available to purchase. This time...

10/22/2022 4:58pm I was sitting right next to the quad, they had literally 2m of run up it was hectic. The single into the berm was crap. Also they had these giant cardboard boxes for Ads on top of the berms which meant you couldn’t see any of the ruts developing. Once the riders started smashing them it was so much better...

10/19/2022 3:39am Battling brakes at the moment. Much more swearing and pacing around shed has taken place. Trying to mate brand new later model Nissin Master Cylinder to two different braided lines either of which are correct length, shape or have correct fittings. Reckon this rear rotor might need replacing? 😂😂😂🤦♀️
