NEWSFLASH
Dreadful news from the bushfires down here. Everyone is alright but some serious machinery lost. Here is Kim Kreb's post:
Fires and Summer.
The good news is that Greg is OK. This afternoon a fire raced across the region around Gregs place at such an incredible pace. As a member of the CFA, he was fighting the fire elsewhere, when the wind changed direction and he decided home was where he should be. He was able to save his home, but the machinery shed, woolshed (where the bikes are stored) and some of the cropping machinery are lost
Our race bikes are toast, so this season's DLRA meeting wont include us. Unfortunately the old DLRA timing gear that Greg was repairing to use on the short track is now a molten mess.
So ... the good news is that no one is hurt ... and besides, the 750 was due for a new frame anyway.
I am sure all her have met Greg and Kim and know what great people they are will be sorry to hear this. I am not surprised Greg was off his property helping fight fires elsewhere. No word on insurance yet...
