That's Alison Parker next to Sideshow in the blue shirt.

We went for a trail ride (with engines) at Glasshouse just before Christmas. During the post ride pissup/pub crawl Sideshow (Dave) did the best karaoke performance I've seen.

Do a google search for Brooks Saddles.

My godson Luke just sent me these shots of his under construction Mongoose. He raced the bike back in the 80s and now he's doing it up for his son. To me it looks like a blood brother to E74s bike (page 1 of this thread). He's having a hard time finding some parts to finish it to his standard. He needs the genuine bar/stem pad that came with it and blue brake blocks. Any old Mongoose punters out there that can help Luke?

Yeah Leith, he's a dab hand at eBay but he's also pretty anal about his bikes and the bar pad seems to be a sticking point. The last one he saw was $300us. I'm not sure why he's having trouble with the blue brake pads as they seem pretty common. Apparently you need them with the blue Skyway or Webco wheels to stop skuffing the wheels with black rubber.

Good to see you guys are into dirt bikes no matter what. Love those VBMX with tuff wheels.
I ride the old 1992 GT Zaskar 45km round trip to work most days. It the best way to shed fat, get fit, safe money etc

Here are some of the pushies that my son, wife & I have; two other bikes were at the shop.

The lad got a 6th in the under 19 at the nationals XC Canberra, proud dad moment.
He did well at a few other rounds over east as well.

My youngest lad has been pestering me to build one of these for ages. But with the demise of my workshop......well thanks to fleabay he ended up with this one. His Mum and I had a go - farkin dangerous bloody things. I tossed Kath over the front. Good things she's a good sport - only a little blood. Thanks Magoo for carting it up from Sydney, even if you did have to hide it under a tarp to avoid answering all sort of awkward questions.
