U guys are funny,   was only 500 cc,   they were a great engine in 83 !





I dunno know Ray, this pic looks a bit suspect?
Its obvious the Girl was hired as a decoy, to keep eyes off that motor. ;)


(Seriously though Ray, would you be interested in building a replica of your winning RM?
 It would be good to see you do a few parade laps here and there as well, as a spectator's point of view.) ;D

Hahaha :D

Thats one advantage of todays motocross compared to the old days I guess - seems to be more women involved in the sport.
Although, I havent been to a late mx event for a while. :-\

Yes about three years in the making,from around the globe and across Australia.
The story on the holey head was for Steven and I to track it down in the far south in Albany WA, on a gokart.Detective work eventually found it in Victoria.
Plenty of hunters and collectors will share the rest of the restoration journey for sure.  8)
What a cracker 50th gift. :P

Bing privy to the work Rosco did on this bike along with D project and a host of others ,it's just awesome to see this piece of Australian Motocross history back in the hands of Goof.
Well done to everyone involved.

Fantastic Build guys, it is indeed an Iconic Aussie MX race bike.

would love to hear the story of the build if bear or others can fill us in. how much of it is original, where did you find the missing bits etc.

Goof must be rapt, what a great  bunch of mates to do this for him
