    Anyone in Alice Springs know what happened to Race Motorcycles wrecking area stock? I'm hunting down a bike that was apparently out the back of the shop.

    Hey Rich,

    Not sure what happened to all of Woody's stock. I was in the shop the week before he shut the doors and it was pretty baron. Sadly it's a big loss to Alice and it'll be interesting to see what the KTM team does this year for Finke without Woody's facilities available. Alice Industrial Supplies has taken over the building and have a couple of 4 wheelers out the front, they may know where the stuff out the back went.

    Podge,

    Still thinking about the wheel.

    Cheers Podge. That'd be great. Big surprise that Woody closed shop.
    G'day Crom-o, you're still an Alice local or just passing through? Doing the APC this year?

    Back out on the Plenty Hwy out of Alice. No APC this year for me, save on entry fee's to go towards beer money on other rides. The guys doin it might wanna think about packing snorkles and flippers the way things are goin. Old man lives in Bundy, luckily up on a hill so his remained dry. He has about 40 Army guys living and working out of the hanger he opperates out of at the moment supporting the coppers etc.

    I only found out I had time when I posted. Thought I would put it up in case anyone had time. there's a few wet spots starting to appear now so we might be a bit limited on tracks for a while.

    Croney, I'm not one for speed.
    I prefer rides that have a meaning, like going to see something or discover something. Generally a long way from help so need to keep my wits about me hence not racing around like an idiot.

    I'm 37 now and it hurts to fall off these days, bit like a hangover, they seem to hurt more now too.:rofl
