Ok Girls time I posted...
Been a while since my last post and thought oughta say hello again. Did quite a bit of touching up the ol girl....shes still so frakkin pretty. Only major thing I did was replace the petcock, what a name lol. Cleaned out the tank, lotsa red sedement there, must be coz it was in the Alice for so many years.
Guess what, I kinda started a new phenomenom here lately. People seeing my bike are going ga-ga over it. So much so that 2 people so far said they must have one. They both got Red/White's and are in the process of re-furbishing them. Blue/Whites seem a lot rarer these days. And theyre loving the process of going through it all bit by bit, its called 'A Labour of Love'.
Also working on getting all the Red - Blue/Whites together for a gathering.
Anyway Hi again to one and all, hope I'll get to be posting more soon.

Good stuff Volvi. Yeah, petcock is a bit of a weird one..probably reflects more about us giggling than the person who named it so
.
There's a few of our members around the Melbourne area now. It'd be a good turn out to get 'em all together.
Cheers mate,
Dave.
