Ok, so we may as well start organising the next one now: I'm thinking late November/early December. Down this end is heaps easier for me to do the recce runs etc, unless someone else wants to try it further North..??

Let's get some dates proposed and an endpoint agreed upon, then we can sort out a route. I do have a good one in mind, as long as you're all happy to come down this way (Gold Coast) again...

Oh yeah, new rule: Cheddar MUST bring the promised cupcakes :(

Ha! Nice one Micah, I like your style :)

Yeah late nov early dec sounds good. I'd be keen to look at at a route further north. But it's pretty nice down there.

Whatever's clever trevor.

Keep us posted

Cheers,

Dave-

hey what about a drive through mt glorious & nebo then go out around wivenhoe and somerset dams. there is some nice bbq area down that way too..

u've just gotta get a day where there's no cops on neebo/glorious running their "don't let bikers kill themselves" campaigns.

Tried that earlier this year: the drive was great, but given how crowded the dam was, and the fact that you can't reserve a bbq, everyone sort of wandered off and did their own thing... it kind of fizzled out after we all arrived. That's why having the bbq at Myles' place was so good: guaranteed parking, access to a bbq, and we had the place to ourselves...

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
