Misleading or I dont know real quaility
« on: August 11, 2010, 06:40:53 pm »

Even if it's a bad photo to call this machine a unbeleiveable vmx motocrosser is asking a fair bit to call it a well crafted machine well you be judge. It dose come form the Ipswitch QLD and as a mate once told If I lived here I open a Pram shop. I think I will email and ask if the kickstarter works?

Price optimistic

Interesting beast.
Kickstart certainly looks dodgy? Want to start on the first (half) kick every time. ;D
Wonder why the 250 head?

I like engine swap bikes but these things make me cringe. A 1973 engine in an '84 model bike just is a silly, badly conceived swap. The thing just doesn't look right and you guys are right, the starter's going to come down pretty hard on that footpeg. The radiator shrouds are there for nothing and how long would it take for your leg to block the air flow or worse, knock the Unifilter pod off all together?

It's unbelievable alright :o

maybe I'm just picky, but what a waste of time and money by his workshop. couldn't of had any work to do when that came in.  From the high tech piece of wire to hold the kick start, the sexy foot brake, crushing the air pod with your thigh and am i going blind but is the carb set on an angle as well  The high tech air shrouds.  Somehow I think it might not work, call me harsh, but sorry, does anyone in that shop know what VMX is or is someone playing silly buggers!!!!
