i still have a chromo frame spare for anyone who wants to build a slider based around a JAwa front diamond and I can supply a new rear arm. you just need to plate the engine and find some standard slider forks. Just saying if that's why there still on the fence.....
When you look at 'brand loyalty' as part of the picture I am inclined to think that a large sector of the spectator lot like to see 'a bike just like mine' out in front.
However when you look at big events like prod. car racing whats on the track only LOOKS like "my car" but we all know it aint nuthin' like "his car"
What I would like to see emerge is a move towards dirt track specials incorporating modern Yamaha-Honda etc 450s in special frames.
These are more likely to catch the attention of joe blow who owns a trail bike, not some Jawa, Godden or such in a special frame .
I saw last year at Nepean a young fellow riding a modern Honda? with the frame lowered, shortened trail and rake etc looking very impressive. How about we see some more of these in the modern classes!
cheers pancho
