North Brisbane junior club when it was still at Samsonvale

There was a MX track at Samsonvale? Whereabouts, I may be living on it ;D

Only if you have a house boat Mainline it will be now covered by about 10 meters of water cause they build the dam on it!!

The Mini bike show was mentioned on the forum earlier this year,dont think it got that much attention though,maybe everyone just went straight onto the big bikes when they where young  ;)   ;D.

Doc is that spectrum red paint color on the above bike ?

Alison, the colour is a cheapy basic Scarlet Red from Supercheap. I stuffed up, the tank is fine but I used silver not white as a base coat on the sidecover and it's come out a poxy shade of pinkish redish orange and not at all like the tank and not at all like I'd wanted so I'll redo it over the weekend in 'international orange' which is more orange and closer to Suzuki colours ;) the original TM/TS orange is the same as the front guard on the bike beside as it's a NOS item ;)

been hunting around today, I can get onto a clutch for $100 locally but it's 3/4" shaft and not 5/8 as I need. At $100+ the need to machine a bush I can get a 5/8 clutch direct from the US for about $55US all up. It's a shame but nowhere local can do a price anything like that :-\

You bet I do FireKwacka! ;D While there be nothing at all wrong with my normal 'coloured' pipe I do like the later chrome pipes better for their bling effect 8) SOLD!! and thanks!

this topics all over the shop so I may as well mention I maybe in need of a later model cylinder also if anyone has one. Reboring is fine. The '70 model is a cast iron job and mine is near stuffed from rust pitting so I was thinking of hunting a regular steel lined alloy cylinder from a later model TS90. I'll place this want in the wanted section also ;)

Noel, the flano and the smoke bares a remarkable resemblance but no..I never ride without a helmet ;)

mind you there's some decent parts and I wouldn't mind doing a number on that letterbox ;D
