This page was formed to follow the development of the club racer.
The first step on the road to building the club racer was to have a bike kindly donated by life member Kevin Boss seen here with Ivan Hoey the originator of the idea. Ivan proposed the idea of the club getting involved with building a club racer to inspire the members who always wanted to do one but never got to do it. The idea was proposed at the AGM in Sydney in 2006 and passed by those in attendance.
The next step was to try and raise some money towards getting the project started and to this end we produced some stickers and sold them to anyone who wanted them and managed to raise $300.
Donations:-
Kevin Boss - the bike
Ivan Hoey - high ratio primary drive gears
Kevin Palmer - MikesXS big bore kit and an offer to do some milling work.

Steve and the Cairns boys had a BBQ and have raised $50 for the club racer, thanks guys, great
work!!!

Discounts offered:-
Walter Preisig - Discount on suspension needs from YSS.

So we still need crank bearings and con rods, tyres, clutch plates, paint etc. and willing hands to do some work.
Honestly there is still a lot of stuff we need especially cash which we will attempt to raise by various means including social events and promotional gear like more stickers and belt buckles.
We are also seeking sponsors who will get their business name on the bike.
All being well we end up with something like this which will be displayed and raced around the country.
This class of post classic racer is now officially the support program for both the Moto GP and SBK events here in Oz. With some success throughout the year we will hopefully have our entry accepted for these major events.
Sponsors will get excellent value for their money because this bike will be seen by lots of people and will receive lots of exposure on our very popular website.
If you would like to get involved by buying a part we need or donate some cash or have some spare time to help do the work then contact us for further details.

Here's another idea that was suggested to me by Rob Roesler, belt buckles, Rob had some made for his other club and told me they were very popular among the membership.
If you want one for Father's Day I must have your order and payment by 24/8/08
Orders received after 24/8/08 will be ordered as a separate batch for later delivery.
The price is $70 each + $2.50 postage for them so we make a small profit for the race bike project.
Let me know if you are interested at toota@internode.on.net
These are hand crafted and enameled buckles of very high quality and well worth the price as a unique collectable item.
Each limited edition buckle is numbered on the back and guaranteed (if you break it will be fixed or replaced free).
Also we can supply good quality harness leather belts for $45.00 + $2.50 postage
Buckle only $72.50
Buckle and Belt $120
