Vous avez fait un travail superbe encore une fois mon ami canadien  ;) I knew Slakewell would be impressed :) I wish I'd have kept my '76 400 KTM instead of selling it to Bradley Lewis.

Very nice and nice collection. We have collectors with 20-30 bikes and some put a lot of mates on them. So 3 collectors with 25 bikes each in each state there is  300 bikes not riden plus anthonys 100 bultacos,those numbers could help fill up nats fields. **NOTE not a dig at collectors they all make our sport diverse and often help racers with parts,just when you think about it the bikes are there.

I would love to take credit for this collection but it's my brother's, He didn't have a KTM/Penton so we traded a couple of Maico's for the Penton. That is probably about 1/8 of his collection.
Gippslander the side panels are from DC and the fenders are the shiny ones from Vintagedirtbikeparts.net, The tank is an original orange gel coat tank that i just polished.
I did my 250 as the KTM and painted the tank and side panels red.
Unfortunately I have no where to display or store them so I usually try to sell them after so I can build something else

If you think there are guys in Australia hoarding bikes that a look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sIfiorMCng

Really I think this guy is fantastic. He is saving bikes that would probably just be scrap metal now, if not for him.
