Back from Finke.....
I never stay for the race......even for the 50th anniversary.
All our riders were in really good shape and looking forward to the race by the time we finished tuning....job done!
A special shout out to Mark Hangan for supplying me with a ute and workshop facilities whilst I was there in Alice....One of life's true gentleman.
It was good to catch up with Robbie Maddison as well. We set up all of Robbie's distance record bikes in the early days and helped him get started in the US.
So proud of this young man and all that he has achieved.....This guy didn't get a handout and had to back himself all the way in order to climb his way to the top.....should have sucked my gut in. I guess that's the risk you take when you hang out with athletes......

Fired up the ZX12r tonight and it sounds great. I will get out early tomorrow and have a quiet tip toe around the Sunshine Coast Hinterland before addressing the list of jobs Jan has compiled whilst I have been away.

Another great day of testing with definitive outcomes. Shock Treatment riders very happy with there bikes and confident in lining up for the 50th Anniversary Tatts Finke Desert Race Finke Desert Race
Not only does our testing ensure that all our riders are in the greatest possible shape but it also helps us confirm and adjust our settings to ensure we are constantly moving forward.

Dal Soggio in the desert......
The Dal Soggio Sphere is head and shoulders above the competition in this type of event. It has the feeling of ultimate finesse, soaking up the high speed hits whilst remaining completely supple on the small choppy bumps.
The most frequent feedback we get is the improved feel in the front end ( control ) with greatly extended levels of grip.

1st morning of testing day - all riders happy and ready to race.
Tomorrow going to be an even busier day, looks like most of our riders have chosen Wednesday for testing.

Testing Times.....
Back at Alice Springs for this years Tatts Finke Desert Race 2026.
As per normal we will be dialing in our customers bikes for the event.

I have just been down the track looking for an ideal location that offers the best blend of high speed chop and typical woop sections.
Once again the 25km Bonnet is great, we will begin testing at 9am tomorrow morning and we will also be there Wednesday 9am and Thursday 9am as well.
If you are trying to locate the 25km Bonnet from the Service Rd there is a large sand-dune with a cattle grid across it at the 20km gate, shortly after that the road takes a right hand bend followed by a left and it straightens up again. The 25km Bonnet is right beside that left hand bend.

I spent today overhauling a set of forks from a DR650 that had valve bodies installed previously that offered "Rebound Damping" as well as Compression damping. The forks did not work very well....
The fact is that these valves will always create cavitation...hampering the damping action.
The valves were replaced with Race Tech Cartridge Emulators and dialed in to suit the riders needs.
After completing testing on both dirt and road, the improvement was immediately obvious.
I produced this article last year explaining as to why "Two Way" valves upset fork action.
It makes for an interesting read.....

I really enjoy my time on facebook. I enjoy technical questions and I even enjoy the odd argument. I do find it hard to tolerate dickheads......particularly if they ride a GS and stand up when riding on bitumen....I won't even mention them holding up traffic.
But I can honestly say I have never bought a "Like" or paid money to promote our business on this platform.
But once again.....I would like to open up the floor for questions.
It will take me half an hour to respond at this time because Jan has just told me that dinner is ready....for the fourth time....

If you have looked at lathes with any intent you will be aware that the Chinese lathes represent the best value for money unless you are prepared to part with serious coin.
I have been doing my homework on what is available, not just within Australia but also what is available directly from China and Taiwan.
The best machines I have found are from the Dalian company but they are not being distributed here in Australia.
I am about to configure and purchase two of these items for separate applications.
Fine, "High speed" work and slower, more industrial work.
If you have considered a "High End" manual lathe but want a bit more than you can currently get here. Check these things out. https://www.dmtg.com/en
If you are looking to get something soon you are welcome to join in on this purchase.
I am organising shipping to Brisbane. You can easily road freight from there.
