General Discussion / Re: Italjet cx50R

In 1979 Ricky Murphy's dad bought a super trick Erik Kehoe Italjet PR 50 into the country  . It flogged everything around at the time and I often wonder what happened to that trick little bike.  I'm wondering if KB or someone else might have a decent pic of it. I'm sure T&T did a story on it....

That bike moved onto myself and later became a parts bike when the engine finally died on the starting gate at the Castlemaine Easter Challenge in 1981 back when I was racing out of Eriks Mini Bike Shop. The head was placed onto my other PR50 which had come to me via Shane Milbourne , who was also racing out of Eriks Mini Bikes at that time. I still have that original Murphy PR50 in storage
