Remember the Cooper (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Classic-vintage/auction-33968640.htm) ? They were made in Mexico and had thick sandcast cases with Yamaha internals I think.Len Perry had a few hanging around for years.This looks like a really nice one,and spares too...but they were yellow originaly.

Hi Motu,
Yes you are right about them being yellow. They had an Maico inspired frame and DT Yamaha parentage engine.
It was the brainchild of Frank Cooper a Maico distributor and first appeared in
1972.
Are you riding on Sunday!!

Don't you mean chicken sh*t
Did you know that when you buy a day licence the amount comes off when you renew your licence.
You better get that lever fixed the weather is going to be perfect.
