We dont have V5 / log book / ownership slip's out here. Doesnt seem to be a drama. Vehicle engine and frame numbers are on Qld Transport Computer. I have nothing on paper to say I own any of the vehicles sat here. System work's OK. No worries Maaaaaate! -
Tree stumps pulled out and ground raised ready to pour concrete floor slab. -
how many miles this year ?
Tony nitrous replied to Davehutch-hutchs's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
Mine used to be BIG. Was doing regular weekend-aways, Agnes Water, 680 mile round trip, Dubbo, 1170 mile round trip, (naked bike with Pillion!) Macksville, 670 mile round trip. 2 days to get to Port Douglas, 1120 miles. A normal Sunday ride for us is anything from 180 miles (around the Dam's) to 450 miles (twisty roads to Tenterfield and back) Not sure about the yearly total as I normaly run a few bikes and change them occasionaly. The last years has been piss-poor though. No more than when I lived in the UK. a LOT lower than my normal. Changed job's, renovated 2 houses, and a shortage of $$ due to being single for a while. Im determined to make 2012 a better year. -

XS1100E Cable to hydraulic clutch conversion.
Tony nitrous replied to XS1100's topic in Project section
Same here. Varies from bike to bike. Diaphram or coil spring and type of bike. Some work well, others not so great. Doesnt suit them all for me. -
I always thought the Lazereth Hayabusa conversions were nicer.... -
Super Sic, "Slide"show Bob, Poor bugger. A great loss to racing. -
B-King stock as a rock, Dont like the factory exhaust, but mine was bought as a legal run-about. Cops CAN ticket you for loud pipes but normaly dont. I'd lost most of my points and was close to a ban so couldnt risk it. I have 3 modded or loud bikes, there are days that its nice just to not have to watch out for cop's or piss off the neighbours in the early hours. B-King isnt my favorite bike, it does its job but has too many points where the naked Busa is much better than it. No MOT's or annual Safety Certs here in Qld. You only need one if you want to sell it still registered. -
Had a few drama's with council refusing planning permission. Mrs is a pretty sharp Lawyer and fixed that for me. Aiming at getting the slab poured next week. Putting shed up week after. Just need to sell my old house QUICK to pay for it !!

motorbike auxilary socket
Tony nitrous replied to dick65's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
I made up an adapter, a male ciggy socket plug on 2 leads that attaches to my battery charger. I charge the battery through the same plug. Handy on bikes like the Katana / ET or bikes where the battery is hard to get too.
