Mini bike my arse those things are a death adder!! but cool resto go the red!!

Looks like your a big fan of the multi wheel version of VMX?

[Oldrodder]

We love the sand dunes at Stockton, for how long we get to use them now they have been handed over to Worimi and controlled by NPWS is the unknown factor.
We have an '86 200x an '85 350x and the '83 250R thats having a resto.
I also currently have a '78 CR250 about half way through resto
I would love an XR 350 to resto next but will see how I go with the almighty dollar, what with interest rates going up that leaves less for spending on toys.

See you are a fan of the red thats cool, have 2 79 CR'S myself. In the early 80's the trike thing was pretty big in Bris so there would be a few around Im sure up here.

Looking sharp. Nice prgress. You wont be hard to spot at CD5 mate.

sharp? - it looks fantastic!  well done mate.  nothing like new OEM stuff (and aftermarket) to make you feel like its 19whatever again.

never ridden one of them, but with a cr250 donk in there, bound to rip.

Here is a new pic of the restored minibike, unfortunately the new tyres for the gold rims that should be on it are not here as yet, so it is currently on a set of rims from the 200cc trike that we have

yeah looks great oldrodder, a mate of mine had 1 of these units about 15-20 year ago and we had a fat time on it! Takes a little (a lot!) getting used to and infact I found it harder to ride 'safely' than the ex Bill Sewell GS1000S speedway sidecar we also played with. Wish I still had my old FL250 0ddessy but I doubt the roll cage would fit in the van seems like everyone who drove it crashed it  'cept me..obviously I never drove it hard enough  only dislike of the FL and the ATC's was a lack of reverse gear  I'll be keeping an optic out for it at CD5
