Hi Im pokey and Im a 185aholic  and it has been  234 seconds since i caressed my last 185.
My  affliction started  in 1977 when i spied a 74 model at Frasers  in Taree NSW that i   bought for $385  and it had three months rego and a sock airfilter and occy straps holding the tank and seat in place.
 That was the bike i  learnt to ride on  in the forests  aroiund Taree and  it was hosed off. (sometimes) and then took me 20 miles to work and 20 miles home  during the week at a cost of $1.18 a tank and at a speed of Ummm shhh i was only On L plates  :-[

 Now I have the project 185 . Same year model and have kept the same colour silver paint and  will  hopefully see her racing in the pre 75 250's  in the not too distant future. OOhhh . Almost forgot she be  a wee bit modified from stock ;)

Now the man. Ive never ever raced organised MX in my life , just forest and the odd  enduro  with reasonable results  so will be a big learning curve for me. I'm sure you guys will get to know me  and the silver suzuki .
If you have pre  ER model 185 stuff thats surplus to your needs do let me know.

 cheers.. Proud to be a 185aholic
