Heya Retty,didn't realise you had those early pics of the minis racing.I wouldn't of left on Saturday if you bought those out ;).
Even after seeing those MRs of yours up close and personal,the photos definately does them justice.
O,off the thread topic for a bit.
The IT is a bit sad,but mainly cosmetic as you know.Got the clutch cover off and all,just need to measure the clutch.
Cheers,Mark.

people actually raced z50's? oh well ive come close. ive had mine flat out a few times (at 45 km/h)
-
Z50's are good fun my z50 with st70 motor used to go pretty well even though there suspension is nearly none at all thanks Michael. :)

Before SL70's and XR75's there were only Z50's and Dax's so if you wanted to race.. that was it.
-
yeah but racing a hardtail z50 must've been interesting. without any rear suspension the handling is a bit funny
-
It would have been hard going not much difference in all the field you would have had to ride flat out to stand a chance of winning. :)
