Hey Seano, hard luck there mate. Still not enough to win crash and burn award though. You were just going for the trophy weren't you!
Another vote for Race Radiators in Dandy, if you get it there Monday they can have done by Friday, if you ask nice.
Also, Force will sell you just the bits you need for the rad guards, unless the whole thing is trashed. In which case tell em you are from AMTRA and they should look after you a bit.
Hope the body recovers soon.
Seeya Wed.
Mat.

Mate sorry to hear about your coming together of bikes
not a nice way to make new friends.
But any one you walk away from is a good one, better to be at the bike shop buying parts then being drawn on by a surgeon
This is becoming far to frequent we should give this some thought as to why all of a sudden we are having this type a accidents

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Beer in one hand - throttle in the other - body thoroughly used up,totally worn out and screeming what a ride

Count your blessings mate your glass is still half full, c ya wedensday . Will |

[/quote]thankyou for the offer it is much appreciated but please no hat passing thankyou .Our sport is expensive enough to run your own bike let alone chippn in for someone elses who,s just havin a big sook about whats happened to him.We all damage our bikes or need tyres or chain and sprockets or etc ,ect we,d only be passin the hat for each other round and round and round.So once again thankyou for the offer but no thankyou I,ll get over it in time TA-Seano |

Hi Seano. Firstly I would just like to say that i apprechate your letting us tag along with you yesterday (I was Yazzas Mate, fat bloke on then WR450  ) Andyh... Speweing what happened to you but at least you came away ok yourself it could have been much worse.. just thankfull you are ok. Feel for the guy reporting suspected Skull Frature and knee in a brace.. He did wack his head quite hard , it was bleeding... Dispite the dramas i would just like to say thanks again, my first time out there at Fumina and it was a good loop. 86Ks covered for the day, and i was on the verge of hitting the reserve switch when i got back to the car. Thankd to Wiggy for the sweeping duities and that goat trail was heaven sent.. loved it !!! It was a pleasure leading you guys around no worries ,with a bit of luck I may of even scored some new AMTRA recruits  .We,ll have to do it again soon ta seano |

Hey Seano. Thamx for leading my 'crew' around Fumina. Hubby was pleased as we where only working of our GPS. Although it's a great ride leader on many occasions  I am bummed about you're stack - and my mate Jonny was spewing about his bike to, He bent his Muffler and broke a few other things on his Lemon DRZ. So 3 bikes bit the dust - luckey you all rode out. I was upset that I could only do 4km of the ride - not my bikes fault in any way - the chain slider was the least of my worries and was a red light that went off before the serious issue that my rear bearing was on the verge of collapse ( bearings less than 1000km old people - Hubby fitted cheap poo, not happy ), so it ws a blessing, my rear hub WAS OFF ITS FACE when I got the bike home and looked at it ..... So to save $30 and buy decent Gen Kasasaki that do at least 4000km standing on their head, hubby brought All Balls and they are POO !! The rear hub is going to cost about $500-$800 to replace.  Love you guys xoxox Yazza |

You might get 4000ks out of wheel bearings if you service them regularly.
Buy good quality at any bearing outlet and keep an eye on them by flicking the seals out and putting a bit of clean grease in as required.
If they are really wet/rusty inside replace before you can feel any movement. When you can feel movement you may be half a ride away from failure and expensive hub damage.

I reckon that's pretty good, I priced up the parts for Frankies bike from Aus and the parts only come in at $1900 plus fork reseal. Just waiting 2 hear back from my overseas supplier now. No labour charge or mark up on Frankies parts so I think considering how hard parts can be to find for your bikes that's not bad.

Just got the quote from my contact overseas around $1250 with shipping to aus. Now thats why I buy so much from overseas $750 less than buying from Aus, thats a weeks wage for a lot of people and thats all genuine KTM parts. |
