+1. not a bike person but yeah, that brutale is hardcore... why selling that one and not yr other bikes? Too expensive to run/keep on the road?

I'm just sticking to a plan. I've owned the bike 12 months and I allowed myself 12 months of ownership, then I'd sell it. Its never been a keeper, rather an Italian bike I wanted to say I owned at least once. My TL1000R v-twin sportsbike is getting some work done and will be back on the road soon. I've had the TLR for 8 years and its my fav and a keeper.

Comparing the Brutale with the TLR, is like comparing an Italian soccer player to a Grid Iron player. :woot:

Having said that, I am thinking about registering the Brutale a bit longer, as the TLR is taking some time to get the work done. Oh, and 'yes' the Brutale is far more expensive with on-road costs and servicing.

my seats and carpets need a really good clean otherwise i would do them myself.......and even tho its all getting re trimmed next month i do want the car to look somewhat decent when she goes to see Claude for a few weeks lol

no one touches the exterior of the car except me tho. ive had troubles before (autosalon 07) with the graphics...........and due to the nature and amount that is on atm, id rather make sure its done right.

ill be struggling to get this all done friday night, heres hoping it doesn't get too dirty on the way down there.

All I can suggest now damo is call this number 0448366938, his name is dave. Tell him your in the skyline club with me and he could still probably do you a deal for the day. Cant hurt to try?

Ok, i have just received my letter and entrant sticker for the big day. Didn't Cara say at vilis that she was going to have a meeting with use before the day? And as we are going in as a group display, we should all rock up at the same time...so any details at all?

As for cleaning, i have Friday off so I'm washing my car and then going to Troy's place to use his stuff :blush: , thanks Troy.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
