    Thanks David Canzoneri

    Another boring CMRA camaraderie story... After getting my bell well and truly rung and my bike wrecked on Friday in t3 (you know who you are, thanks for coming by the pit and seeing if there was anything to do to make it ri....oh!) Rear sets shot, levers gone, brakes gone, fairing in bits, throttle fcuked I was convinced my trip down from Calgary would be a waste. WRONG. As I wandered around in circles with birds circling my head Webster set to wrenching on Friday sorting out the rear sets and fashioned new ones from a biscuit tin and an old frying pan, brother in law fibre glassed the tail, Eichorn working his usual magic and pulling bits out of his voluminous pants and we we were on the way. All I had to do was sort out the fairing, fairing stays and find and install front brake and reservoir. As Spocoli once said WHOA... BOOM and Out of nowhere comes Dave Canzoneri, we had never met but he sourced and installed the complete front brake system (Brembo BaaZing!!) and frankenfixed the front end and fairing stay while I mini'd and BBE'd. What a guy!!
    Thanks Dave, could not have Sprinted without your help.
    CMRA special??...yea, I think so.

    Yep, Dave is a top bloke. Just met him this past weekend and he joined in the rummage sale straight away to try and put the SV back together. We can't forgot Franklin Delanor Rodriguez either. He donated a Woodcraft back plate which we managed to frankenmod with the Vortex peg and pedal to great effect. We actually had an SV wing in the paddock at TWS. 9 in a row i think.........
