Mike Landmans Bikes?

[mxmaniac]

Anyone know of any of Mike Landmans bikes that still exist?

[Maico31]

No but i'd be interested to see if anyone knows of any. I remember he had a works 400 in '77. Wonder where that ended up?

[holeshot buddy]

yeah john that bike is in the dvd i have of toowoomba its got an alloy swingarm will bring you
a copy to cd5 
i know where darryl willoughbys yz490 is but i am not telling

[Maico31]

A copy of that CD would be great rusty. C'mon spit it out.. where's Willoughby's YZ490? Then again that thing would be bent from all the endos he had..

What about all the other great's from back in the day? Vandenberg's 125 and 500 from 83.

vandenbergs bikes have dissapeared they might turn up one day
i had his 82 500 suzuki which i raced in 83 very nice bike lots of trick bits wish
i still had her :'( one problem finding them is trevor flood built up a lot of replicas for the public
so it might be hard to identify it

On another thread Rob posted looking for sand cast cases and a back hub for a Yamaha OW23. That bike was ridden by Per Klitland in the '76 Mr Motocross series and I believe Mike Landman also rode it.

David wills 490 YZ is still in SA isnt it, up in the hills.  Infact, i was speaking to Mal pitman the other day and im sure he was talking to me about this bike, he was saying somthing like it was in a Vmx feature with him back in the Day blasting out a berm ?  he died before his full potential right ? or we talking bout a differant chap.

I'm fortunate to be able to see a lot of neat old bikes that pass through my workshop.
A RM 500 in a RM 250 frame that was rumoured to once belong Marty Moates.
Also one of Vandenberg's 500's, not sure how many years he was with Suzuki. Unfortunately this one was buggered up in it's early days & I doubt will ever be the same again.

[holeshot buddy]

i heard that moates bike got sold for bugger all down geelong way
that rm500 i had was perfect when it was sold i sold it through peter stevens
in ringwood fell in love with new trick kx500 ,speewing i sold it  :'(
ray was with suzuki for 3 years from memory, it could have been my old bike someone could have got it and raped it pity that bike got me into b grade :'( thats why i
built another one now

[GMC]

The RM 500 I saw had lots of little trick bits done. The triple clamp bolts were drilled through & recessed into the head of the bolt as well & the swingarm had a series of slots milled into the gussets. They must have spent a lot of time on the lathe & mill back then,

[holeshot buddy]

yeah thats right every bolt was drilled and hollowed heads, mine had
twin air box ohlins shock white power internal fork kit ext adj ,tmv pipe and muffler
adjustable alloy struts holes drilled everywhere motor was stroked and ported
gears in box were made aftermarket lovely bike to ride
check my bike out at cd5 its had all that done plus more
spoke to lackey at last cd4 he told me a funny story about boost bottles on the rn500
so guess what it now also has a boost bottle not much room for anything else now
mmmm maybe nitros oxide injection gotta go just going out in shed for a few hours
