G'day from Bendigo

I'm a bold (and sometimes absent minded) tinkerer and backyard engineer with a knack for working with metal and fixing all things mechanical.

I got started in this game by fixing up one of those little 2 stroke ATVs for my nephew to ride, before picking up a 110cc four stroke to play around with. I sold that one after a while partly because it was too small for me, and partly so I could afford my next project ATV, a 250cc Zongshen. It has a clutch problem, but doesn't need much else. Regardless, this one is big enough, so it's a keeper.

So stay tuned as I begin my quad bike adventures.

Welcome aboard.....tinkering is a good habit never to break! I call it my mental wellness therapy.

Well, here it is. It's in pieces at the moment so I can clean the fairings and work on some of the electrics while I wait for the new clutch and crankshaft nut socket to get here.
