I've said it before but IMO Tom Horton has the best bikes!

That's what I love most about Speedway bikes, Longtrackers & Flattrackers, 100% raw motorcycles.
Simplicity at it's best.
There was a Tom Horton who was a leading Dirt Tracker ( always rode MXer's ) here in OZ in the 80's & early 90's, tall fella.
Great bike, that's pretty much the look I'm hoping to achieve with my T20.

Slidz,
Was it Tom Horton or Kevin Horton in Oz. I remember Kevin but not Tom in NSW but then I was not heavily into Short Circuit at the time

Doh, oldtimers is obviously kicking in in.
Kevin it is.
My son's name is Tom, does that excuse me?
Aren't we talking about the bike?  ;D

Hey  Jim , If you get all these bikes ready I might have to have a comeback just to ride some cause you wont be able to ride them all, it sounds like Steves been emptying a few more bottles of scotch judging by his reply last night, i think Kevin would be a bit upset to get called Tom.

As jober as a sudge Ian, I am on drugs for a virus though.
I thought you'd be in NZ with Steve & Justin.
Nah Jim, I'll leave that title to you, I'm no hope of having the T20 ready, lend Bucket a bike.
