Guru Wayne

You thought we'd been training on the bike?

When we first talked about doing the Gibb, we talked about riding Argie Bargie each weekend; getting the team used to the bike...and we knew the bike needed some TLC; a threaded bolt in a frame joiner; there was some trouble with the headset; the drum brake never really worked well enough...

If the bike was just-a-bike, we would have been up and going, riding lots. But it ain't just a bike.

The more we use the big bike, the more we are convinced it needs the skills of someone that knows weird bikes; a freaking bike freak. And we found him - out at Gundaroo - Wayne Kotzur.

Wayne was a guru; there's been many phone calls - to Santana, suppliers, distributors; new forks are yet to arrive; the bike's tauter, more corrosion resistant, stronger and safer; the bike's happy - we're happy.

Thanks Wayne.
