Bad news I'm afraid, since the Goulburn area still had strict fire
restrictions as of last week we definitely won't be having a bonfire.
Please leave your pyrotechnic devices at home, too.
We'll be able to have a campfire, but it'll have to be a careful one.
I should probably start work on the trophies soon, too...

invite the RFS and call it a "controlled burn" then we can still have
a bonfire  |

What we need is a controlled burn to control the risk of an
uncontrolled burn, just like the one they did at Wilsons Prom last
year. Or an environmental burn to promote native plant growth (but chop
the gum trees down first, they burn better dry)
Perhaps a lightning strike a few days before to reduce the paddock...... >> Stay informed about: Unaugural Update |

I'd like to be able to answer that, but SOMEBODY still hasn't given
back my CT70/90/110 service manual.
Let's just call him Gary W. - no, wait, that's too obvious: G.
Woodman.

I'd reckon it's pretty likely you would Pete. Unless Honda felt
compelled to fit a cassette style gearbox for those quick ratio changes
inbetween qualifying sessions. The RZ500 has a semi cassette style
gearbox which means you still have to split the cases (though I did
hear of someone who managed to get it out with the motor in the frame,
but he said it would have been quicker to take the motor out and split
the cases!) >> Stay informed about: Unaugural Update |

Mate, those Chinese things are surprisingly good (although sadly there
seems to be some confusion in the translation between "cheese" and
"metal", but they try hard). Anyway, if it breaks, we can have that
bonfire after all! >> Stay informed about: Unaugural Update |
