Title: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on September 15, 2007, 09:28:25 pm: We had a get together fun day and quickly marked out a track and this is one of the guys who turned up. I wonder if any of you guys know him or have seen him ride. Do you think you can name the parts to his bike. Oh and yeah he kicked our arses.

Post by: KB171 on September 15, 2007, 10:55:31 pm: I seen a bloke Morley Sherriffs kick a lot of arses about 35 years ago at Christmas Hills VIC in the mud ,very smooth and fast, no front mudgaurd on the day,didnt slow him a bit.
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on September 15, 2007, 11:35:24 pm: Thats him. And he is still kicking arse. That pic is about 2yrs old.
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: Doc on September 16, 2007, 07:51:58 am: DJ I'll have a wild guess and say the bike is a PE175 with an XL250R tank and an XR200 engine and maybe RM125Z front wheel, although the lever shrouds on the bars look yamaha so maybe the front end is Yamaha ???? Actually I dunno..the seat frame and rear swingarm look zooki though :P I like it whatever it is 8)

by the way!..is that dust I see!! surely not! :D
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: KB171 on September 16, 2007, 04:08:35 pm: Pretty relaxed style on Morley back then aye?

Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on September 16, 2007, 07:55:44 pm: Great pic KB171, and yes thats Morley.

Doc, it was only Morley bringing up the dust. None of the rest of us could ride fast enough. But hey check out that green grass ;D
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: firko on September 17, 2007, 10:19:57 am: I hate to be pedantic forty years later but Morley's chucking his wheelie on a Triumph Metisse, not a CZ. Great photo though.
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: eno on September 17, 2007, 10:42:07 am: "How he do dat?", Yep, thats our Morley, he still very much does dat. At Kiwi Vintages series last year at Halcombe it was one of those dreaded Mud fests, I'd seen this guy turn up with an old fairly standard RT2 in the back of his truck & didn't think much more about it...that is untill I saw him in action & said with much enthusiasm "who the hell is that?". As someone once said "just oozing with talent".
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: yzhilly on September 19, 2007, 10:27:53 pm: Hey DJ i'm still waiting for the recipe for the bike ?. whats it made of the suspense is killing me .
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on September 20, 2007, 07:16:53 am: Oh , sorry Hilly, Doc probably got it right, there were so many different bits to it and my memory just aint that good, just think of a few more bikes and add that to Doc's list. ;D. The next time I catch up with Morley I'll ask him. In fact we have our first round this weekend and TMBill, Mac, Eno and his son Jonah are all staying at my place so we will debate the bike then. ;D. Can you wait a few more days?
P.S.
I didnt get to look over the bike that day as I was riding and banging in pegs, taking photos and looked after the BBQ at lunch time, so I was a bit busy and Morley had to shoot off early so I missed him at the end of the day.
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: yzhilly on September 20, 2007, 10:18:18 am: No worries DJ , i,m not so sure about the backend ,looks a bit KLX to me in the shocks & swingarm ,maybe !!!. Good to see ya keeping busy and keep posting those great pics from ya meetings . I loved that one of the YZ465 roosting the track .awesome.
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on September 20, 2007, 03:31:06 pm: Hilly if ya like roost, how about this one. I dont know if ya would want ta be behind it though.

A few Ozzies might recognise this rider (#1) doing what he does best. Leading the pack.

Post by: yzhilly on September 20, 2007, 10:05:46 pm: Awesome DJ that looks like a lot of fun, amazing tracks it's been a while since we have had that sort of greenery to rip to bits .So what about the bike does anyone know ?.
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: brent j on September 21, 2007, 11:15:40 pm: Looking at that bike I'd say the swingarm is RM or PE, the forks are Suzuki. Triples look the same as my PE175 ones with a single top bolt, but the fork legs are RM. Back of the frame looks Zook (maybe PE from the rear rail behind the seat) but the engine cradle has been removed.

My two cents worth anyway

Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: KB171 on September 22, 2007, 09:19:59 am: DJ how old would Morley be now?the picture i sent was from a1968 hot rod mag, you can blame John Smailes for the CZ balls up.Cheers KB.
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on September 24, 2007, 02:15:29 pm: KB I think Morley is about 60 now, but not possitive.

Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on November 26, 2007, 09:12:33 pm: Brent ya better get back over here and have another go on it just to make sure ;D ;D
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: brent j on November 26, 2007, 10:32:44 pm: I'd love to DJ but not within the next year, we'll see after that.
I'm working on a transport crate with an internal lifting mechanism so you can dismantle the bike inside (sort of!) and pack it down to about 1.3 M long. Should travel well and it's strong enough to have things stacked on it. I'd love to bring my bike over there. I wouldn't ride any faster but you can't beat your own bike and I wouldn't fear damaging someone elses.

Brent
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on November 27, 2007, 04:03:28 pm: Yeah I know what ya mean about ya own bike Brent. I dont like riding other peoples bikes, thats why I want to bring my own bike to CD5, but I'm happy to loan my bikes out to who ever wants a ride. And so long as they dont do anything down right stupid all is ok, even if it siezes or shits a box, it just means I didnt have it prepared properly. In fact I like loaning my bikes out. I have a rider racing the series on my YZ125J.

Post by: firko on November 29, 2007, 06:33:13 pm: Would that be Klub Kevlars own Mike Jolley on his DR Suzuki (#5) and old mate Mal Seargent on the Honda (#24)?

Post by: oldfart on November 29, 2007, 07:16:05 pm: Yep sure is Mate ....notice how the mighty Dr has the red rocket under control ;D
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on November 29, 2007, 07:42:01 pm: Yeah Firko the boys of the classic scramble club up in Auckland had a meeting so a few of us lower north island guys made the journey up and had a great day. It was a relaxed fun day just marred by me running out of petrol at the bottom of the hill ::) ;D ;D it was along slow push back ;D

Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: firko on December 01, 2007, 12:07:32 am: Cool stuff, especially that lovely white Triumph Metisse...... Is that TM Bill I see eying the shiny British iron and shedding a tear as he relives fond memories of his youth in Mother England in the second photo down? Also in the same shot, what was the owner of the red Metisse thinking with that Cortina muffler?
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on December 02, 2007, 05:30:04 pm: The first photo has Peter Ploen in it and yep, thats TMBill standing next to TMBill senior. As for the cortina Mk1 muffler, will I'm not sure what he was thinking but he did get some good air on that bike. ;D

Post by: DJRacing on December 27, 2007, 04:59:44 pm: I didnt take that picture, another vmxer (the eel) took it with my camera. A few guys over there may remember #3 Mike Marshal, he is a very good MXer and speedway (solo) rider and as you can see knows how to slide a bike ;D. He is also one of the best bike restorers of vmx. These are some of his bikes.

Keep Smiling :)
Jackie Mac
Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on March 06, 2009, 08:05:00 pm: Jackie, Mike hasnt been riding lately which is a pity but at the recent masters games here in Wangavas he won the snooker, so in a way he was still sliding around on the green stuff. ;D
Plus he has been very busy at work, I had to get him in to install a new gas oven and the bill turned up with the total being 1 RM400T DG pipe ;) ;D so there is hope yet that he will be back on a bike soon.

The snow is for skiing on, which I hope to do in August. I have promised Karen I will teach her to ski this year and we are fortunate to live only 100km away from the slopes.
I have to be one of the lucky ones. I think this sport/hobby of VMX is tops and it ties in with my other passion, photography, so Im on a win win all round. If I couldnt ride I would still be at every meeting taking pictures, its a hard life but someones gotta do it. ;) :D ;D

I'm in the same boat took VMX up for fun, not much good at it but big smile on the face. the wife didn't want to be my pit bitch, so she now takes the photo's for the VMXWA club. She loves it. good mix

Title: Re: Just a photo
Post by: DJRacing on July 19, 2014, 04:44:45 pm: The track was at Fordell, about 10k southeast of Wanganui.
I took the photo standing still and following the bikes through the view finder and by using the zoom at the same time as clicking the shutter. I have a couple like this but I would have to find them.
