Hi All

[DT_Mania]

Hi All, new member that resides in South Africa. I am a member of VMXSA and race in the national VMX series here in SA. Currently race with a 1980 PE175. I own some other oldies and just started a resto on a Montesa 360 H7. Will posts some topics with some resto pics on the PE and Montesa.

Cheerio,
Jurie

Welcome DT...same as Toolboy like to see some pics!
Enjoy!!

Thank you. Where will I place the resto info? In the Vinduro section? Just have to warn you in advance that the Montesa is going to become a '81 Cappra VE replica. No vinduro events in SA so will be a pre-85 MX contender.

Welcome DT Mania or should that be Soccer Mania  Went to MX school on the weekend and its up there with MX as a fitness sport ,reason being you don't score in the first half,so you just keep going to time end. 
Anyway back to VMX/Vinduro
I reckon you should post you resto in Vinduro section as its a bit quiet over their some days.Good to have a SA on board as a few of your crew are heading over the West Side of Oz in August so will keep in touch. cheers

PE info placed in the Vinduro section.

G'day there DT man,
Ok then, what exactly is a Suzi A80 CR?
 Love to see a pic of that as well.

Welcome DT_Mania, I would also love to see some pics of yours and other bikes in SA. Is it easy to find a VMX bike there or are they scarce? I just spent 3 weeks driving 6500klm's in Africa but didn't see any VMX bikes in the flesh or advertised. I was also looking out for a Falcon Faimont GT but didn't see any sign of them either. Don't suppose you would have one tucked away anywhere that you want to part with?
Anyway I look forward to your take on VMX SA style.

Regards Stan S.

Suzuki A80 Cafè Racer - It was my own little project when a bunch of us wanted to start a 50cc club to reminisce on old times. When we where 16 and a 50cc where all we where allowed to ride on public roads.

The original bike:


The strip:



Halfway through:



The ALMOST finished project - will get a photo of the completed bike on here:

What a great little beast. So did you end up with gang of 50cc screamers?

[DT_Mania]

Well....a couple of guys ended up with a 50cc gathering dust in the shed!
