Wow! Its going better than i expected.

Holy shit what a description. I didn't have 3 hours to read it so is it actually a team riders jersey or just a supporters shirt? I think you've just shot yourself in the foot Evo and allerted a lot of potential bidders.

yer I kept quiet on this one and I'm proud of it 
I do know a  little fellow that picked the pants and jersey for $40 a few years back.
cheers

mmm yes me too Alison imagine what it's worth with the matching nylons and original fluro pink matching GoTheRat hanger scored brand new off a clearance table at McLeods back in the early 80's for $40 and I still wear them occasionally would I sell them? No, it's not about money, it's part of my history and goes with the complete vintage package when I croak it and go belly up



pic below is the only pic I have of me wearing both the pants and jersey at once.

oops I lied..found another couple of pics from back when...

Chris is that a shadow or are you sporting a Mexican bandit moustache in that lower pic

[DR]

  ah busted! I did used to sport the mexican moustache and a spike on the chin as well Bill. I tried it again just recently but some grew brown, some black and some silver (not grey bright silver!!) in patches so until I turn 100% into the silver rat I won't have the goatie or moustacha again

wow that jersey on ebay is up to $200 now I don't believe these jerseys were ever the real deal but I maybe wrong. I can't say in all the pictures and magazines of the era I have seen these particular designs on any Aussie rider in ISDT or the MX DesNations. Ironically a 'genuine' NOS Suzuki jersey from Gaston Rahier during his visit here in '75/'76 only sold for $110 just last year and in my eyes this item was far far more collectable than the go the rat gear that may have never been

I wish i would've seen that Gaston Rahier jersey on ebay Doc.. would go well with the signed poster i have from when he was at Tivoli.

i'd better go and dig my Aussie jersey out of the closet and check that it's ok...
and ring up my old nieghbour and get them yellow Rat pants back...
thats a pretty mean price for a jersey..........

Anyone seen any good layouts or ways to display these types of jerseys & posters.

I've got a couple of jerseys, Marty Moates Mr MX Jersey and Mick Doohans '96 "world Champion" podium T shirt but there packed away in Moth Balls. I'd rather have them hanging in my shed but can't work out how to make it look good while still protecting them, any ideas??

[DR]

$314 and rising. I still don't believe they are genuine or even a genuine copy but obviously someone likes it

[vandy010]

and "used" as well
