Show us your mini bike.

[Stan S]

Just dragged this out of the shed after about 30 years. Pit bike for CD8 maybe?

[Captain Bilko]

That's way cool Stan. A young guy had one of those out at Parwan last year. It was a goer and all and I think he competed in some class on it. I think KB might have been there that day as well.....

That's one cool little bike Stan.  Regarding the minibike book - how long had saint george dragons been sponsoring junior motocross ?

Yeah Ross, I had forgotten about it as it hasn't been out of the shed since 81/82. The frame was specially made by Bozchrome Engineering back in the mid to late 70's and I built the engine in about 78 I think. It is an early 4 speed XR75 which I took out to 100cc. It used to be a lot of fun to ride on any flat area's. I think it's time to resurect it.

Gday Hardex, thanks for the offer I might have to take you up on that.

smed, I hadn't thought about HBBB but let's see if we can make it. The only thing is someone a little "slimmer" may have to ride it these days

Regards Stan.

Nice pics VMX!
My pride and joy...and whats left of it after 34 years and counting SL70E not sure what year it was.

With the parts in my shed you could make that whole again

Please don't tease me Slakewell  :'(
I still have the back wheel,1 side cover,bits and pieces of the engine.Tank went to darwin in the mid 80's and no idea what happened to the rest of it.
I've always wanted to get it up and running but the major bits are missing..thought about putting a chinka motor in it or my CT90 motor,BUT other stuff gets in the way and DAMN it would be so nice to ride it 30 odd years later
All i can ask is...tell me what you have and how much $
cheers..Mario

PS...Stan That is one hella of a great bike!

Hey Stan
The tank on that one is worth quite a few bob. My son broke up his junior solo a little while back and I have a freshly restored ct125 motor sitting in the shedatt blacked with polished outer fins. If your looking to get the little girl going and want a motor (is bog stock, but everything new) pm me, very cheap for a Ballarat boy, even cheaper if you're a Saints supporter. Also have a nice little homemade alloy tank if you want to perserve the Jawa one.

Here's a shot of my YZ80A, it was pretty rough when i got it with yellow bodywork and the wrong seat.
I repainted the tank and rh sidecover silver and sourced nos front and rear guards and lh sidecover.

[mudguard]

Whats the chance of us bringing our mini's to CD8 and getting Ken from VMX Mag to do a photo shoot? How many models of each brand could we get together at one event, YZ's, XR's, RM's or what ever else?   

[PE MAN]

i still got my little `80 rm50 in the shed from when i was a youngin... reckon once i build the bank account up again itll be time to bring it back to life.... you'se to bloody fly too for a 50.
