    Ive just come back from a weekend trip. Stayed in tumbarumba. At least 2000kms all up. Did 700kms yesterday, granya gap, mount hotham, omeo hwy in a loop back to tumbarumba.

    Cyclist came off on a blind corner, some numpty had blocked the road with his car and was standing there waving his arms. I ran wide onto dirt and ended up in a ditch, but no injuries. Rashed the fairings and broke blinker, nothing serious.

    Another rider that ive met a few times had a big stack near mitta mitta, ripped the front end off his cbr954. Slid 15m and bike hit several trees. Rider landed in thick logs, he was stuck there. Broke his left leg and right arm. Vic police, ambulances, ses and firies all there, rider recovered and choppered to a hospital in melbourne. Took about 2hrs for ambulance to arrive, chopper was overhead low and turbulence knocked my bike over on the other side. Lost the other blinker, more battle scars.

    After our mate was in proper care we left.

    Nearly got stuck as the servo in mitta mitta was shut, and the next town too. Ended up at wodonga for fuel and back to tumbarumba in the dark, watching for hopping rats and furry rocks.

    Left this morning, got to tumut and took hoom hwy home. At the speed limit and no higher. Nice and boring after a rollercoaster weekend.

    Two new blinkers and ill see everyone in gunnedah.

    I've changed the front rotors on the ZX2R. Nice new wave jobs.

    the valve was supplied by sirius in the states and is supposed to be used in vintage racing there.denis reckons he never went into the redline so maybe he did not. valve head totally gone and not sure of the seat as covered in alloy if there.chinese valves?all i can say is a mess.hope to talk him into forged pistond as this copy one did not come out well. interesting that both blow ups occurred in same cylinder.my fizzer now running well but will be trying to put some miles on it on friday so willl be run in before the drags.thinking of collecting moths for my pockets as when they fly will take weight off the bike.!

    There's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge is looking to buy a melon baller. She picks it up and reads "Made in America". She then puts it down and says "No, thank you." :)

    Just a silly question on the 350... when fitting the electronic ignition you didnt turn the motor over with the points cover off did you?
    Was just reading about a guy in the UK that did exactly that and he managed to bend a valve as the points cover is also a cam bearing and it dropped a bit when taken off.. bit of a trap if you are not aware of it..
    Good luck with the rebuild :)
