I am starting to enjoy a new aspect of vmx collecting- that of collecting pairs

Are they a breeding pair? That would be really useful...

Nice bikes too!

Wow Beautiful bikes with beautiful photos ~ good work.

Phil Denton in the UK has just turned out a pair as well for the VmxDesNations.  Seeing them this weekend ~ cant wait!

My Dad likes pairs as well for breeding (Metisses, B50s, CCMs, WLAs)

I like a big firm pair as well!!!!

Very nice. The 480 looks like it was meant to be. You do it very well indeed Gavin.

At farleigh it seamed like every 10th bike was a 480 twinshock, I do like the look of your pair, very smart and well done.

Here is my 1974 250 Elsinore. It is 100% original and unrestored. I've had it since 1983.

Crabby - first up gotta say - WOW - love your bikes, love the photos - simply awesome.  Now a picky question - for info not for picking  ;D  Whats with the side panel decals - are they correct - didnt the OEM ones have 250 on them as well?  What did you do - trim it off?

Ironically I had abou three or four sets of decals from different sources -.two sets had no displacement ie 250cc

My understanding I that the OEM had 250cc incorporated into graphic

Thanks for compliment  hopefully two more ready before Christmas - white rocket and another 480cc

Are they Denton bikes?


Only the bike in the photo next to the car- I bought it at Farleigh as a race bike for hopefully the opportunity to ride some of the UK twin shock events. Others. Are all my own creations with some outside work where necessary.
