All that talk about regos last week got me motivated to get my bike out and get it running.
It took a fair while and im sure might right leg is larger now but eventually she fired up. I took it for a run but the brakes arent working property so ill have to go through it all.
Ive had my 68 genny shovel for almost 25 years. Its a police special and is all stock except for the colour. I also have all the police gear for it except the radio and the siren.

I called into a mates place last night to pick up a drum of avgas to run my merlin on the weekend.
Whilst looking around his shed I spotted this old racer.
He bought it out the bush from a deceased estate.
It started out as a royal enfield 250.
There are heaps of home mechanic mods.
The guy wanted to rebuild it back to stock.
I ended up buying it off him to stop that from happening.
Im just going to get it running and leave it alone. Its fantastic.

Yesterday I took my steering parts for my impala to an old guy to be injected with that balljec stuff.
Whilst there i spotted this old bike up in some pallet racking.
Today I went to pick up my repaired parts and did a deal on the bike.
Its a malvern star flying wedge from the 70s.
Its still in original paint and looks like it has never been apart.
The tyres look original also.
Ive never seen one with a rear disc brake.
Its also a five speed.
I never had one of these when I was a kid. My parents got me this stupid thing with a removable rail that turned it into a girls bike.
I did end up getting the first quicksilver bmx backdoor before they were realeased.
I knew a guy that worked there. He knocked off a bare frame that I built up and raced.
Incidentally the old guy that repaired the stuff used to run a repco headed grey at the speedway and claimed to be the first person to put a 221 falcon crank into a red motor.
He had a lot of cool stuff in the shed and was definitely set up to make anything his heart desired.

Nice 1 dave. 2 great scores. Ive actually been keeping an eye out on ebay for a malvern star pushee too.

Sam therr are a few around for sale. I paid $150 for this one. It seems like a good deal I think.

I pulled my bike out of the shed last week as part of a clean-up, my sons wanted to find some room in the shed for their junk/stuff.
The bike hadn't been on my mind since I last started it about 4 or 5 years ago when I last replaced the engine oil. It hasn't been registered since we were in QLD in about 1997/8

A few hours and $200.00 later I had a new battery, replaced the fuel line and a carburetor to manifold gasket. I hit the starter ans the old girl fired up first kick.

Before my sons could ask, I had a pair of boots on and my old helmet in my hands. A few laps around the block and she pured like a kitten. I haven't even washed it yet...

The clock reads 14 730km from new in 93, I'm the original owner.. Now she's booked in for an inspection next Friday.....


and to think I used to laugh at my dad forgetting things
