  5. hi mate, i owned one for a while, and have a thread here. there are quite a few, to be honest. try searching for them via the search function, using key words like 'corsa', 'corolla 2' or 'corolla gp' will have a look for you also

  9. a short clip of a mate taking her for a squirt, during its voyage
  10. wont show too many pics of the show apart from this amazing bike a 1915 Ariel this thing was gorgeous..! reved to 1,100 (eleven hundred) revs, top speed of 40 running out of light so we took off for town, via Mt Kynoch. think we did close to 100 kms of trouble free riding. this Chaly is perfect now..! i cannot thank you enough, Benny BRM motorcycle Engineering big things coming from there feels solid, goes well for an 88cc. very stoked
  11. got a call from Derek, asking if i was keen for a ride, and i say "Heck yeah!" arrived at his house, took this pic pre ride check We rode from Toowoomba, down Flagstone ck, pulled up for a quick break Derek took the Chaly for a ride we then went to Withcott, to fuel up, then went to Murphy'c ck pub, for a coldie. while there, the barmaid mentioned across the rd, there was a QLD Classic Motorcycle Club meet. so we went over parked near some and took some pics to try and make it look like we were part of the show
  12. took my Chaly on a date, today took her voting my father in law spammed me with vote literature as i entered. then took her to Master's for a big locking chain, a snag or 7, and a coke as i was entering, 2 of the kids from the Scouts sausage sizzle asked about the bike, and i told them a little about it. and as i was heading in, they asked if i would buy a sausage, i replied "If you guys keep an eye on my bike, i'll buy a few" this pic also shows the air filter cap painted satin black by Benny. love the look
  13. a better pic of the front guard, discs fitted, etc Representin..! parked at home that afternoon
  14. so i get the callup that she will be dropped off at work on friday, all fixed and sorted, Ben says. I couldnt wait..! as it has been nearly 2 months since i bought her. sure enough, about 10 am she arrives a pic of where the key and oil filter was relocated pic of the disc brake fitted. and the new front guard mounting tabs, showing how low it sits now more to come
  15. the 'china' front end was way too low, even with just the weight of the bike, using up 50% of the front end travel. then add the weight of a rider, or a fatty like me, it would be nearly sitting hard. it's also different internally, so the original front end parts can't be swapped in, so Ben sourced some with the same dimensions from his shop, and cut them to suit now to my sads.... wiring has been sorted, new battery fitted also, as the other one was fried due to W/E was wrong with the wiring. Benno spent ages sorting it out. but still couldnt isolate the miss in the engine. so he gave her a full tune and service. the valve clearances were out. sorted that. full rebuild and tune on the carb, it changed the miss, but its still there under load he is going to check the coil next I can not say enough about Benny..! he treats this bike, and the others he works on, like his own...! in fact, he is putting more effort into this girl than i would have.. i may have given up and put her in the 'too hard basket' a while ago Props..!
  16. test fitting of the eye lid, we decided we didnt like it went back to without it originally had hopes for the cooler to sit where the horn was, so we relocated that, to prepare for the move. but to restrict the chance of anything getting caught in the movement of the front end during turns, etc, we decided not to below is what we agreed on making holes for the oil filter to get some air flow, in its new spot inside the leg guard, as it looked wrong anywhere else really happy with how it came out Benno painted the filter cover black. i reckon it looks a lot better than before
  17. disc brake front end fitted. new hub and forks match painted now to sort out the wiring issue/s can not wait..! Ben you are the man(probably wont see this thread tho) love your work secksee work..!
  18. she is really taking shape Ben has out done himself had to weld lugs to the forks to mount the mud guard
  19. felt i better show some of his work in the process of being restoed
  20. so, its been a while, and i have to go back a ways to get the whole story. Here goes: 7th July 2013 07:31 PM "had a callout for work today. so i took the Chaly for a cruise to the Bowling alley. a couple things i noticed, that needed to be looked at asap. the engine has a miss, and i think its electrical. the headlight rattled loose and was lucky it was held by the wiring. I'm sure i heard/felt something metallic fall to the road, couldnt find anything after a brief search also lost all electrics, indicators, etc. pretty sure the lights havent worked at all, gotta trace the wiring and see whats up more than likely a bad earth, or a connection worked loose? still able to get her home after work. will get into her over the next few days whatever is wrong, its small, I'm sure once thats sorted, RWC and get her into my name" i spent 3 weeks, tracing wires, following near illegible thai, then chinese wiring diagrams(only links i could find at the time, being huge in Thailand) 25th July 2013 08:40 PM so, since i couldnt fix her, i immediately took her to a master, with a long history racing them Benz Racing, is his business, but most of you would know Benno from Independent. he is fixing her up in his spare time, and doing a great job..! apologies for the poor pic quality, but they are from txts directly from him battery is toast, due to a wiring issue while sorting out the wiring, removed the front end to prepare for the disc brake conversion more to come
  21. so, been working in the lab on some new stuff like lol, but seriously, lots been happening to this girl will update in the next day or so
  22. http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ljlju/i_ama_peter_mayhew_chewbacca_from_the_star_wars/
  23. i really do get a lot from the JRPC. and i do like Joe's "Question everything" mentality. if you get a chance look up "Joe Rogan Bert Kreischer The Machine" edit: found it and a GIF
  24. Hank and Marie watch Miley's performance at the VMA's
  25. nice one Reed..! one of the closest 5 rds of MMA you'll ever see. this kick, with about a minute to go in the fight, sorta clinched the deal for Showtime that night, but I still felt Bendo won, regardless. hard call tho. kick was perfect and the rematch is near upon us..! was going to do a VMA GIF for the reply, but only Macklemore and Mary Lambert(the gorgeous voice behind Same Love chorus) deserved any promotion there
