Absolutely superb ;D   A cousin had a grey model XR75 , same but seemed to have a fatter tank . Might have been a bit earlier model ? . I  had a red (5peed) '76  XR75 . Great bikes , happy times  as kids racing around the local paddocks. 

 Well done on a fantastic resto.
   
 Regards  ,
                       Steve

My father took me and my gemini boss 80 to a track for a minibike race. i quickley had a firm grip on last place but managed to pick of a few dax's and all the decksons but the kwaka 75's had me beat and the outstanding bike was a new grey xr 75, nearly lapped me :o

Cheers Steve, and good stories Husky. I think I posted up a pic of a Gemini 80 a while back. One of the first bikes I ever remember seeing was a dax when I was about 12.
My first race meetings were me and my brother against two other brothers...all on QA50's...
