 :D nooooo Alison..it's all new technology to me. I really like dirt track/speedway and always wanted to have a try on a slider instead of the converted MX'ers but never had ( or chased) the opportunity. Same as always, never say never I guess :)

Bill, Double the Dirt, DT titles...hmmmm.. :-X

Ray Owen was actually riding a 500 JAP to win the Unlimited title in 67, sorry Alison.
I don't know what 125 he was riding, I'm in contact with Les Burdus, he won the 500 ( Senior ) title the same year, he finished second in the unlimited.
Les rode my fathers bikes for a while and was riding dads Tiger 100 Trumpy to win the 7 Hour race at Muswellbrook in 62.
We're all looking forward to seeing you ride that at the Titles Doc.

An TM or RM engine would look pretty good in that… back to the QLD Suzuki mad scientists…

Or put a TS in it and get it road registered… come on Dodgee you know you want too!!

Nice Dodgy - a turn to the dark side however from your yello roots.
Could be a couple of new sliders at the nats this year by looks of it ::)

very Similar rear frame loop Dave.  ??

fellas in the Freaky Dt camp, We need to get onto Dogee and find out the specs on the seat and the rear guard ???   makers marks, size anything ....  so we can lock onto them.  Look like standard grasstrack but need to be sure of the fitment.

The rear guard is definitely a standard Hagon one but lose those big ugly square plates, I always hated it when we had to fit those. I'm not sure about the front guard, I reckon the shorter fibreglass ones looked heaps better.

Calm down Kerry, its a honda; its OK

The Team Kawasaki factory race (thats Gold Coast Factory) bike will be ready for the Nats and you 2 can start the resurgance of pre 75 125cc sliders

The team of mechanics you have employed are here for you and will have created a machine not in keeping with your standards of fettle.
