I don't know much about the Kerr frames, # 60, but I do know that # 710, Kevin Patton from Canberra rode one, with a Yammy two stroker fitted  with some success, he also rode a JAP powered KSS frame
Foss

Hi Al,
Kevin had a Kerr Bultaco which he sold or traded to Kevin Fraser and I got it from Kevin in about '73. I think from memory that the Yammy twin was in a home made frame, possibly by Doug Bryant, but could be wrong on that one.
Here is the Kerr buried behind a '66 Montesa and a '72 Maico - all awaiting restoration when I move house.
Pete.

Yes, Pete, Doug Bryant did build some frames, I saw one at Damo's place , Damo is # 720 Kelvin, a mate of KP's, son, It was pretty well buggered , spent years very close to salt water, after I posted that about KP, Kerr Bully kept popping up in me mind , so there you go, I guess memories of KP's Yammy twins get locked in ya memory.

It will be great to see the Kerr Bully brought back to life, a bit of OZ history, eh ?
You had a Cole Elstar, maybe ?? my memory says you may have !!
As far as the Aussie Jawa Speedway frame goes, whatzit ??

Your memory is good Al. Had a Cole Elstar but didn't have a lot of luck with the Cole motor so I went back to an 84S in the Elstar frame - much better.

The Kerr is high on the list. It still runs, just needs a tidy up.

The little frame is a cocktail blender.

Doug Bryant and his brother? built up the 125 Yammy twin that Ian Williams rode I think. Also K.P's methinks also.
Came from Canberra?

Also had a Cole Elstar which I bought from Don Stafford in late 75. Campaigned it in 76, gave it to Andy Horne to ride a couple of times . Felt my 440 Maico and his Elsinore had more power. Traded it in on a godden weslake long tracker which I still have. Presently converting to a 2 wheeled braked setup and then hope to let the son loose on it. Will be next year though as I'm off to the uk in aug/sept and will miss the Temora meeting. Looking to take it north to Maryborough when I get back. When it gets off the bench I only have a flat tracker, 2v jawa, hagon jap and a ccm/speedway jawa to get to work on. I think I need to retire to get the time I need to do them, work sucks, but it does pay the bills.

I think Peter and Colin Laws were making slider frames recently. His son I think mentioned it on here a while back.
That would be worth checking out.

Edgar Phipps told me at the Show'n'Shine that Colin Laws is building him a slider frame.

Yamaico Pete's blenders have set the standard for such equipment throughout the VMX movement. I may have built the first blender back in the early 90's and Slakewell took the technology to the next level but Yamaico Pete was the man who injected a bit of show quality engineering genius into the genre. Besides the Jawa speedway model there's Maico and Yamaha versions. Everyone who's attended a Kamp Kevlar Margarita piss up at Classic Dirt will know how Pete's little blenders perform.

He has 2. The reliable one is the DT1.
 Both frames are nice.
 
 He should build one with a Yammy 450 in it and ride that!
 Come on Col, I dare you!
cheers pancho.
