;D ;D ;D ;D Hey Doc whos face book page is it on ? I dont do facebook but the kids could show me :)
Harry is such a Cool bloke :) when he visited he was really into the old bikes and he swapped me a set of Stefans riding gear for a set of M Robert Suzuki riding gear that i had . The M robert gear was the same as he wore in 79 and he wanted a set for his personal collection . He really couldn't believe the oversized and ugly tripple clamp bolts fitted std to the RM 125S . Compared to the TMs they really were a step backwards .

Hey Marc....our bikes have hit the cyber Suzuki hit parade ;D. The pic of my Boyd and Stellings TM400 is a bit unflattering as it was taken with the adjustable front end set at 25 degrees rake after showing someone how the set up works at CD7. For motocross a more suitable 28 degrees is used.

Yeah Freaky it looks a bit ungainly but I presume it would work pretty well for dirt track as photographed. I actually considered building another 19" front wheel and fitting flat track bodywork to convert it from motocross to dirt track trim in an hour or so but as I was prepping the bike for my now abandoned trip to Crystal Brook it's remaining in MX trim until something changes.

That's Frank Stanboroughs Metisse Jim. It's Manx based engine is a pretty special thing. Although the bike was originally built to be raced it's now got club rego and is used for club runs and rallys. It was featured in VMX issue # 43. The bike's a work of art but Frank's current Mojo/Harris framed Matchless G85 is even sweeter and tricker....and it will see race action ;).
