New Year 2020

To everyone a happy and safe 2020.

Fires are still burning some only 20KM from city of Melbourne. The weather has cooled a little and a little rain in the last 24hours has helped, but thats our lot for another week.

A huge thank you to our fire fighters, those in the country areas are volunteers!

Re: Sprinting/Hill Cimbing F

For our club super sprints and hill climbs I used Toyo R1R's on my F with 15" wheels, they are also a good road tyre as well but a bit soft!
On my TF with 16's I have just purchased Toyo R888R

Re: Overheating again

Well looking for leaks, pressure testing, bleeding and the fault seems to be the cap on the tank. The cap was replaced less than twelve months ago.
After various trips the longest 20km all seems well. Fingers crossed and see what happens when I take it on a long run over the weekend....
