Thanks Mick.

a number of AMTRA members are planning to be there!

Seeing as it's uncertain if the 12 hr is happening this year, I will probably ride this vinduro instead.

Great news I thought  for some reason it was earlier in March , better clear the calendar for that weekend .

I will be there to watch and and take pics

Not riding 3 Bridges?

And,I note ANOTHER vinduro bike pic for an avatar!

Yes, will do Mick see you there.
Serge a pic from way back in the day at Crooked river when my IT250D was 2 years old, I was 19!

Entry Form attached for those interested.

Directions, in case you're wondering:

Three Bridges directions:
Take the Warburton Hwy (B380) to Yarra Junction. Turn right at the lights towards Poweltown (C425).
About ten K’s from Yarra Junction you will pass a big shed on the right.
The entrance to the site is a driveway through an apple orchard on the right a few hundred metres on.
Reference: Vic Roads Country Roads Directory, Map 80 C7.
Address: 1020 Little Yarra Road, Three Bridges

Whew! - I thought I was going to have to miss this for a while there.

I took the TT for a test run a couple of weeks back, and found that it wasn't down-shifting.
Was fun trying to get home when stuck in 5th gear, but luckily it wasn't far.

Removed the clutch casing, expecting to see something wrong with the shift selector, but found this
sitting under the arm of the shift shaft mechanism, effectively stopping the shifter from going downwards.




After getting some help to determine where it might have come from (4th gear output shaft was the
correct choice), I stripped down the engine and found the broken gear.



Unfortunately, the gear beside it (3rd) was also damaged, with rounded edges on the engagement areas
for the lugs on the 4th gear.



I managed to find a brand new 4th gear on fleabay, but after much searching, I couldn’t find a new 3rd gears
floating around in Australia.
I was worried that getting one from O/S would mean that it might not get here in time for the Vinduro…

Luckily, a kind soul on the XT Tenere forum had a good second hand one available, which arrived in the mail today.
Now I can start putting it back together and get the TT to Three Bridges.

Seems like a funny place to carry your spare change, Pete!

I might buy you a purse for your birthday 

Good to hear that you've got it sorted and we'll see you at Three Bridges
