Cool stuff, especially that lovely white Triumph Metisse...... Is that TM Bill I see eying the shiny British iron and shedding a tear as he relives fond memories of his youth in Mother England in the second photo down? Also in the same shot, what was the owner of the red Metisse thinking with that Cortina muffler?

[DJRacing]

The first photo has Peter Ploen in it and yep, thats TMBill standing next to TMBill senior. As for the cortina Mk1 muffler, will I'm not sure what he was thinking but he did get some good air on that bike.

I didnt take that picture, another vmxer (the eel) took it with my camera. A few guys over there may remember #3 Mike Marshal, he is a very good MXer and speedway (solo) rider and as you can see knows how to slide a bike . He is also one of the best bike restorers of vmx. These are some of his bikes.

very nice bikes.

are they 1985 CR500RF & 1987 YZ490T (action photo #3 1982 CR250RC)  ?

[Maico31]

Shit those bikes are beautifull!! Is that not an '85 YZ490?

[DJRacing]

Yeah guys the #3 bike that Mike is riding is a '82 CR250 and the CR500 is '85 and the YZ490 is "85 also. His bikes are always beautifully presented and they are riders not show bikes.

Unreal shots DJ. Gaz and I had the pleasure of meeting Mike when he came to OZ a couple of years back, he's an excellent rider and a really nice person, it would be good to see him back over here and on the track.

Keep Smiling

Jackie, Mike hasnt been riding lately which is a pity but at the recent masters games here in Wangavas he won the snooker, so in a way he was still sliding around on the green stuff. 
Plus he has been very busy at work, I had to get him in to install a new gas oven and the bill turned up with the total being 1 RM400T DG pipe     so there is hope yet that he will be back on a bike soon.
