1981 CR250

look for the busted arse 400 with poxy blue contact on the sidecovers and black forks! (im getting the shox rebuilt so i hope that gets done in time)

I see a warm front from that big cyclone in WA is heading our way so i think ol mate will be right... 3 bridges will have water running under them!

You dont know anyone handy with a spare set of Husky ITC shocks they could loan me for a few hours on sunday?? i sent mine off for a reseal and it looks like they wont be back by friday. much unhappiness in the camp

cheers

Two bits of angle iron and a drill. I'm surprised at an Aussie wussing out just because of a minor issue like rear suspension, when I were a lad back in the '30's!!.....

yeah yeah yeah..shoe box in the middle of road...I've already done the angle iron, but its too soft and the tyre keeps bottoming out so i need the shockers.... !

Sorry mate don't think I can help, the shocks from my 420 auto are knackered and need a full rebuild, and the curnutt shocks I have probably wont fit and they also have no bumpers on the shaft.
Maybe call Michael at Bendigo Dirtbikes he may be able to help

all sorted (Mick was having them redone) cheers, see you sunday

Got the Gopro ready?

gopro, great idea, where did i put it???

Should make you ride faster leading to bigger wipeout and better video for us to enjoy!

The all time try hard wipeout special.... sky ground sky ground ooouuggh! that must have hurt!!!

I will do my best to provide rivetting go pro footage. most of it is boring to the unwashed but us masters should be able to find those little nuances that make us luv muddaboiks....

Forgot the go pro and was having a wunnerful time when the great u beut araldited water pump repair failed totally and i was informed that the bike was bleeding all over the place (mollified ATF was being pumped out of the breather all over the bike!) So that stuffed that. i scavved a ride on a wr 500 and buggered off home.

My tanks are nearly finished!! Finally.
The red one is for the CR 250, the blue is for my 420 Auto and the black is for show.

The restored forks

You cant ride that!! its better than you would get from new!! looking good

Looks great!

Those 3 tranks are all lined up at the window, looking out, wanting to go out and ride.

You better get an xc for the black one! Or it will get mad!

Time to assemble the rest of the bike!!

She's rolling

Bars, cables and tank on!!

That's SOOO good. coming along nicely

Lookin good.
