Show us your mini bike.

This is the mega pick, this little girls father hand built the whole bike for his little girls, it is amazing workmanship.


You don`t get any better than this.

That bike is more a model than a mini bike. Half scale and doesn't go. Beautiful all the same.
Cheers, Grahame

My first bike and my current bike.

G'day Rick is that the same Godden you had late 80's early 90's?

[RW490]

Hey Hoony

The first Godden that I rode was purchased in 1990 and I did it up and later sold it to Shane Clare.
It was in a Jawa frame.

The bike shown is an original Godden in a Godden frame Nickel plated. This was anthony Keys old bike. When I checked the engine number I found that Kevin McDonald had sent me the wrong motor. After checking the engine number and supplied spec sheet for the first motor I purchsed it was found that Anthony had recieved my motor by mistake.

This is the actual motor that I should have recieved in 1991.

I retired in 1992 and bought this bike in 1998. I rode Myrtleford that season and 1 or 2 undera`s and then sold to my Brother-inlaw. I went sidecar racing and and then retired again. I bought this bike back of my Brother inlaw in 2011. Not a bad history from 1991/1992 hey.

Also check out Vintage Track>Hagon Front Shock / damper for the history of Dads Bultaco Hagon.
Its an interesting read.

Man that Freakshow is a sneaky bugger.

Hey Foss
Check out this picture, is this the Howard cole you were talking about sitting on the bike.

[JAP 454]

That's him, Rick. The team he's riding for is Cradley United aka Cradley Heathens which is currently operating as Dudley Heathens.
The chains and anvil on their body colours reflect the industry around that part of Birmingham. From the very early days chain making and nail making were major industries in Cradley Heath, later body colours featured an anvil and a lump hammer, and the teams fans  warcry was " Hommer 'em Craydley"

Quite a few Aussies rode for Brum teams, Carl Askew and Glenn MacDonald spring to mind.
I am a Brummie and many years ago , my family had a small connection with Birmingham Perry Barr track which Howard rode at sometimes.

Birmingham folks, " Brummies" , speak differently to other Poms, Birmingham comes out as "Brummagem", just ask Slides, he's heard some Brummie talk !!!

I see Kiwi Bruce Cribb is in the shot, not many people know that Bruce was a shit-hot Ice Racer in Europe and Scandinavia

Thanks for that Foss.
I think I got the picture from Classic Dirt Track Images. When you said the name it rang a bell and I went back and copied the photo. How good is that, he was a young lad in the video and followed his dream and rode as a proffessional speedway rider when he grew up.

I read a write up one day that said Bruce Cribb rode his Ice bike at a speedway track demo and was 2 to 3 seconds a lap quicker than the track record using his spikes.

  Found one of these Honda Z50's today,  in bits but seems to almost complete except seat and carbi.  Looks like a good project,  if the bloke agrees to sell.
Anyone tell me what year.

Shes a 60s model without the front suspension. First model was the cz100 in 1961 but this has a different tank. Pre 69 for sure (they had rudimentary front suspension)

[smed]

What's the VIN & engine number?,If it's the same model bike as the one pictured it's a bloody rare bike  

[MX?]

Have a look here....
That should fire the enthusiasm

Less than 1000 of the three types of 65cc Geminis were produced . The other 65cc model produced by SST was the Cox Deluxe 65 , again another rebadged Gemini . All of these 3 models are very rare .  The difference between the 65's and 50's were the handlebars , seats , tanks , crankshafts and top ends of the engines . Engine / frame numbers all began with M65 instead of M5 with the 50cc models . . Hodaka 

I have an incomplete M65 if anybody is interested. VIN  M65 00411.
Missing tank, seat, wheels & probably lights (can't remember)

PM me if interested

Had this to play with for a while.


Would love to restore an XR75 one day as I had one as my first bike.
