Quite a spectacle in the flesh, I hear they are getting as many as possible to Ruapuna for the Bears meeting. I interviewed Stroud once some years ago and he told me "off the record" at some length how and why he thought they'd have had much more success with a conventional front end, interesting.
Yes, not vmx but any bike fan will find plenty to drool about in looking round these babies.
And they go.... 8)

These are the only 2 being used at the moment, the USA one is insured for USD 800,000

I like that Stroud will still wheel stand the length of the main straight on it. They have a bit of a dirt heritage as some of the inspiration came from the Denco speedway engines.

Anyway good day out lots of McIntosh Manx Nortons and other goodies.
