This proves that they really are still out there waiting to be found! ;D

Wow thats amazing :o Those Rotax Matchys are bikes you only ever see in books.
-
Are you serious? I didn't know they were that rare. A mate of mine in Mt. Gambier had one. Wouldn't be surprised if he still does. :)
-
Yes they are pretty rare, im sure, i dont think many were made and ive never seen one in real life. There is not many around. The purest Matchless guys would not have gone for one of those with an Austrian motor and by that time jap bikes had well and truely taken over.

Its times like this that you think if amassing so much is a worthwhile cause, as everybody else appreciates it all when you are dead. I suppose it made him happy when he was alive and a form of investment to give to siblings. Better than pissing it up against the wall.

Jeez, I don't know Brad, a good piss-up is not as bad as what happened to us at Broadford, and to think we could have been pissing up and chasing sheep at that beautiful track in NZ, even if they only had trikes of a different type. Popeye and I would still have had a go.
