[Tyre drought in Brisbane]

Yes Arnoux - but it's not next day Artarmon to Dorrigo where I live and you are not in Brisbane where my son lives so in this case you were not an option. I have purchased from you before and no complaints - although recently like so many Australian dealers you struggle to compete with UK - it's as if you have forgotten to adjust some of your prices to compensate for the strong AUD. Recently I was looking at pants and I realise you need to advance purchase and hold in stock and pay GST but most of the UK guys have stock and rent and still charge us VAT (even though they shouldn't) and yet even with international postage there is often a 30% plus difference on delivered prices. Maybe it's the importers and if so they need to be taken to task.

I can live with 25-30% premium to keep the local guy in business, its the 200-300-400% jacking that p****s me off.

Darren at Two Wheel Tyres on the Warrego at Blacksoil9near Ipswich) keeps Michelin Comps in stock and they are usually around the $130 and $165 f & r respectively.

That's great mate, I sold my TY before Christmas but will be bringing my KT up along with some PEs.

Should be a great weekend.

Hopefully I can get the 320 out tomorrow and play around a bit.

Awesome-ness!!

Personally, I would not sell the YZ either.

I have motocross bikes ranging from 73-77 and I wont sell them, they give you the biggest buzz when you ride them.

I'm still cranky about selling the TY175, in hindsight!!

I have a list of peoples names who say they will buy my 320 when I decide to sell it!!

They will have to talk to my eldest son, I have just started teaching him how to ride it and he loves it so its not going anywhere.

Haven't sold the YZ, I thought you where going to sell it 12 months ago!!

Its a bugger when 2 great events are on at the same time and separated by a thousand kilometers!!

You would think with such easy access to what's going on around the place on the net, that there would not be a clash of dates like this.

CD-7 was a lot of fun with a healthy turn up of twin shocks. Having to pre-book for CD-8 is extreme but if it keeps the numbers managable it makes sense.

Hi guys, I have been meaning to register on here for ages and finally pulled my finger out and got it done.

Here are some pics of my 82 TL320 just prior to Conondale(CD7) last year, I gave the old girl a bit of a tidy up and fixed some of a previous owners mess ups and returned a lot of the bike back to a more standard and reliable config.

Hey Reginald, you bringing your TL320 to Conondale for CD8 mate?

It would be nice to have another SWM in the crowd of Yamaha's!!

I sold my TY175 a few months ago and will have my KT250A2 up there this year as well.
