Terry ,,, do all australian dollars have Brian's picture on them????????????????? ::)

just curious ............ :)

Ha ha, no mate, just the 50 dollar notes have Brian's pic on them, my pics are on the 20's, Cliff's are on the 10's, Mick in Queensland is on the 50's and Mick in Darwin's on the 100's............... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

G'Day Sam, Leeton is in New South Wales, maybe 500 miles from Melbourne? Ev is staying at the hospital in a special apartment that they have for close family members, so she's only a couple of hundred yards from Brian. Cheers, Terry. ;D

knowing that your generosity is making a difference to someone's life
Hold your heads high fellas, you're all a pillar of strength.

If Brian & GZ can get to the PI Classic at the end of January, anything can be achieved.

Brian has been to hell and back (almost), and GZ has united so many of us in quite a unique way through our Honda SOHC connection that has been built together.

It's all good and bloody powerful stuff.  8)
If I was you
I'd be worried about me.

just noticed GZ is wanted for the PI classic. I was intending to take him the rest of the way down the South Island and send him from there, but his trip will have to be cut short and he will wing his way to TIA this arvo.

Add 50 bucks to the pile Sammy, Cliff (Maduncle) handed me some cash when he picked up his bike today. Thanks Cliff! Cheers, Terry. ;D

Hi all, this is Brian's (much younger, smarter & charismatic!!) favourite sister, Lisa. Brian has asked me to let everyone know that he gets to check in on the forum from time to time but depending on what angle he has the laptop positioned (or who's there to help!) whether he is able to reply to messages, so to anyone that has seen him on line and just thought that he was ignoring you - Sorry! (especially sorry to Scunny for the other night!!). I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all for the support you have given Brian & Ev. Brian gets a real lift hearing from you all and we are all, truly amazed at your kindness.
Cheers to all  ;)
Lisa

Hey young Lisa, we know the position he's in, tell him not to worry and to stay thinking positive.
He's got a long journey in front of him and we'll be here to keep willing him on.

I have a 75 CB750 - or rather some of it.   It has a titled frame (title is from South Dakota)   The motor is there, but stuck.   I haven't tried to unlock it yet.
From my initial inspection, I think it's just locked up from sitting - but who knows.   I've definitely started with worse.

It doesn't look to bad.     No tank,  I took the carbs for another project,  no seat.    You get the idea - project or parts bike at best.   It does roll and I could put some of my leftover parts with it. 

If somebody wanted to pay anything for it, I'd gladly donate all of the funds to the cause or you could donate what you can and I'd give you the bike.    I'm in Denton, Texas.

It ought be worth $25, $50 or maybe even $100 to somebody.  Anybody interested ?    I'll even help you load it up.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.
