Trip to Warrnambool
« on: August 05, 2024, 12:26:08 PM »
It looks like I am going to Warrnambool tomorrow to pick up a wheel tyre and rotor for the rear wheel.  Long drive but if it works out I will do well.
Tyre done 1k and rotor 26k

The wing. It needs a new rotor and this stuff is a really good price.

I saw that on the FB 'Wing page. It looked a little scammy to be honest. I am glad it wasn't.
THERE ARE OLD RIDERS, AND THERE ARE BOLD RIDERS, BUT THERE ARE DAMN FEW OLD AND BOLD RIDERS.

Keep the dirty side down.

Too good to be true.
Sounds ok and he has converted the Wing to a trike, so has the spares.

Well it wasnt too good to be true. The seller had parts from 4 Goldwing trike conversions. After a whole day driving I have a rear wheel, tyre, rotor and diff with a spare rotor. Very happy with that.


I didnt need spare panniers, towbar and plastics.
