FYI aluminium stampings with out any marks left are done in rubber/urethane moulds. I doubt the Ti bolts were machined by hand as CNC would have been starting to filter down. Another great find  :)

It's a great read about a bike I knew nothing about.
But it lacks the human element that makes the RH72 story great.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Terry,

Is your book "Legendary Motocross Bikes" likely to become available again?
I'd be interested in a copy.

Not sure why the publisher decided to not do a reprint as it sold out quick. Used copies go for a fortune now. I'll write another one in the future and include more of the collection.
