Thanks for the kind words guys. Happy to share. I added more pics of inside the motor etc check it out. I should get the restoration segment done this week. Ake and I went through the series race by race on the phone, I'll get to that article and his photo archive next. Too many bikes too little time.

We just put up a facebook page. One for Terry Good and one for MXworksbike.

I've really never been into that but it's there.
