he rode a 450 husaberg at Tumblegum in march in the over 40's and just walked away with it, and there is a good chance he'll be riding at the manjimup 15000.  Good West Aussie boy support west aussie events!!

Rumour has it that the original bloke to clear "JIM'S jump" will be Berg mounted for Manji...

The bike in question is now in South Africa- it is NOT my bike. I had previously been offered the bike at around 40 000 pounds- nice but at the time had no internals and it was beyond my budget- the closest I will come is to my current 1985 rebuild. Really a nice bike regardless- the new owner is also a real good guy.
