A Montesa chopper :o.

Is it my eyes, an optical illusion or is this short end raked out (bent forks?).

That's one hell of a track..looks pretty technical. The low tech stainless steel BBQ has me intrigued, you've gotta love a BBQ involving real wood! Is that Gavin Crabmans 490 Maico #171?

Firko - standard joke here on site between us and the Safies is the the BBQ/braai - we claim they wouldn't know a good BBQ if it bit them on the a...!  They reckon it can't be good to use gas etc etc etc.  Also The Safies only use the grill - no flat plates - makes the tri nations more interesting anyway!

Thanks for the sneak preview Gareth Ireland's riding ability.  8)  Gareth will be visiting our West Australian Shores in August 2010 and I'm sure the good old braai/BBQ's will also be fired up ;D

Hi everyone. Just joined this forum and excited to be racing in WA next year with many thanks to VMX247. Will the Aussie customs let me bring my braai with?

yep there's enough springbok jumpers to keep them warm.  they tend to appear when the Super 14 and tri nations is on.
