New and Old...ZRX entering a rebuild phase.new Gumby! Rego'd
Posted: Sun Oct 12, 2014 6:59 pmWell,
a couple of peeps already know..... but I came to grief on the mighty Rex on Thursday.... which resulted in some pretty hefty damage to it ..... which the quick mental sums and and time required calculation..... indicated that it would be cheaper and quicker to get another bike as an interim measure............
Good thing was no real injuries other than some soreness............ my head didn't even touch the ground.........bizarre.......
so a quick look around the interwizzle led me to Fadz' Gumby...... so..... By thursday I was heading to sydney with a trailer to check it out........... I did...... and bought it...... so just under 24 hours from mangling the Rex to getting a replacement........ there was some time pressure due to work etc......... but anyway.......... got the Gumberino home, saturday, dumped the oil and filter......... thought I had some motul brake fluid floating around....... but didn't so the brakes will have to wait until tomorrow........but will change the fluid and bleed the front and rears to make sure all nice new fluids are coursing around inside it...... oh and picked up a new battery, as the storage one that Fadz had in it had died through lack of use!
So next on will be get the RWC done ASAP, Identity check by ACT RTA........ then register the bad boy............ possibly change the tyres.......as am a tad dubious about the Shonky Shinko's........
