Re: Diesel motorcycle

The SA uni bike had a holden astra diesel running on cooking oil (fumes smelt great !) I assume it still runs that engine.

Re: Are we RACERS or Politicians

I suggest everyone keeps racing, no attendees, no meeting. Don't let one man screw the week up ! It was time for a new president last year, this stupidity just proves it.

Re: Bush camp fees

Mal, like I posted earlier, if they don't have their own facilities, they can stay at the club camp (that's what it's there for), or at the homestead. Quite simple really.
