Hi Ludwig II ... These days we dont use " W.P. " as its classed as raciest here...some of my best friends come from England mostly retired now....very skilled in metal trades ..there are whingers in all races....Tassie has its fair share of bush fires every year......DD

Happy New Year to you to

Sort of like california they have there fires every year in the summer........Curt

 

[Ludwig II]

We have feral wallabies here, you know.

 

[chainmaker]

Cant wait to see it racing down the road.

 

[Ludwig II]

The wallaby?

Hi Ludwig II....What about a nasty Badger......

 

[Ludwig II]

They tend to be rather flat when I see them by the side of the road. And who wants to eat a nasty badger anyway?

I'd much rather see the Map Of Tasmania close up.

Hi Curt...We have had a tragic situation in Tasmania..theres about 100 people missing around the Dunalley..Boomer Bay and Marion Bay areas..there are still high allert fire warnings just east of Hobart....
Tasmania.....Victoria have just about the same suitations as Califorina for bushfire.......DD

Comming up short on British colloquialisms I think I may be missing something between the badgers, wallabies and maps of Tasmania. Hummm Just googeled the map. Is all this possably related to the mythical "bearded clam" ???

 

[Velodrome]

And nice paint job!

 

[truckd]

OOOOOWEEE! Pretty! here is an old photo of a Luis Motobike I thought you'd like, never heard of em ??

 

[DareDevil]

Hi ... Just finished the flood coat on the tanks....probally take a couple of days to dry....Enamel I'm using is just a standard auto grade...so it could take 3-6 months to dry right through...I just put them aside for a couple of weeks and then pinstripe with a Brunswick dark green...DD

 

[Ludwig II]

Bearded clam is new to me, and I can't remember the map either these days.

Wallaby: small and unexpected kangaroo in Britain, liable to poke head out of undergrowth late at night and cause drivers to swear off drink forever.

It's Tuesday here, and the news is showing 100 still missing in Dunalley. This is not looking promising, as usually people have some method of communication. No bodies found in the town so far though.

Hi Have been finishing up the wiring ... I'm just about to give the motor a start in the next day or so...just making sure the wire loom is long enough to slide the left tank on and off the get at the electrical if required...have to find some old pre 50's lacquered tan with red trace wire for the engine stop on the handlebars.....DD

 

[truckd]

Velodrome knows of a web site that can solve that problem but they are in America if you want to deal with all that shipping stuff, but then again it might not be that bad since the package won't weigh in the 100's(lbs)

Hi truckd...Thanks for the heads up....another one is http://www.riwire.com/ I will try and get it local...few people doing vintage looms here....would just look a bit better than a plastic trace wire.....I dont mind the shipping as most parts with shipping from the US is still cheaper than you can buy here..and sometimes by half.....to many greedy Bas#@&*'s here....DD
