Hi Everyone,

David, do you think Don is hinting about an ITALIAN THEME?

I think Team Casswell would go along with that idea

Hi Greg thanks for finding that wheel. I do not know of any one going to sqta trial from my area. Out of all the XL 250 stuff the exhust is good enough to use and the kick starter sharft is good and it has a kick starter on it as well. :D

once again thanks very much for finding the wheel and all your help. Will TRY to post photos soon.

Oh! What a relief! I'm so much less worried now.
Actually I've been biting my tongue since so very shortly after I first mentioned that, and then discovered that my new toy had ............ ................. two spark plugs, and only one connected. #-o #-o #-o

Hello From Victoria,
Most impressed with the TL of Maurice Blanchard.
Is he a Qld or NSW Competitor?
Is it possible I could contact him re some details of his TL ?
Thank You, Ron Spencer

Hi everyone.
With the Green theme run at Conondale, I am now keen on the Italian theme.. I do have another basket case that I may need the 12 months to get ready as it is in very poor condition as it had been left out in the weather after it had developed a top end rattle (so I am told). I haven't heard it run yet, but it is complete.
Greg, I don't always like those "challenging" basket cases, sometimes its just the way I get the majority of my twin shocks, but then that is the challenge isn't it?
I will try to download some photos of this latest basket case soon.
