awsome man that looks the goods youv'e inspired me im going to the shed and get out the cz motor , and the snail pipe and associated goods and start thinking about putting it together , i had a thought in between these home brew cz wodka's (actually smells like saka) that the start on dirt track should be a BIG down ramp and nothing under 400cc and you would only need 3rd and 4th gear , CHEERS ;D ;D ;D :D :D 8) 8) :-\ :-\ :P

Nice Jim....even the Maico front 'guard looks right. I think it needs a tank sticker to break up all of that yellow though. ;D

Looking good Jim, hopefully this rain stops so you can give it a run next Sat.
See you out there.

looks like a pretty good bit of gear Jim, don't know if the VMX mag professional photographers would have used a (pink)Skip Bin as a backdrop though ;D
