ha ha. i've got no doubt! a mate of mine when i was a kid wanted to get into racing but his family didn't have much money. when he outgrew his 50 they saved up and bought him an 80. when he outgrew that his old man said "this is the last bike you're getting so make sure you pick a good one". he settled on a cagiva 500 :surprised3:. he developed the best throttle control i've seen and was actually pretty quick on it but he couldn't start it. he had his own track and if his old man wasn't home his neighbour would come over and get it going for him. he tried to start it a couple of times but the thing either sprained his ankle or tried to throw him over the bars! :laugh:

Hello Rick, pleased your sorting things (guessing that's what you have been doing).
I have had my own share of fun lately myself.

Wanted.....I'm looking for a Rayburn wood stove, my parents had a very tidy one but alas its gone to **** since they passed, I think I can replace the top and flu bottom section, I have been told they are still restored.
I saw a good old Camberra once in a shed forgotten, buggered if I know where.

You blokes from the cold country should see more of them I guess....

Most people snaffle a good fuel stove if they can find one, they've been in demand for a few years now, and try finding a wet back.......

Yeah not wrong. It's nearly cheaper and easier to buy a brand new one. Probably not as well made but at least it's not burnt out.

There was a good one of ebay, $4500, that's a lot for something made maybe in the 60's.
Do the Chinese copy them, they seem to copy everything else except a PM 610 mac. (they are obviously not that silly).
