Its got a bit of coin on it but it has won 2 GPs & is pretty much a match for mine speedwise I think.

Yeah I have rode that and I know Jason real well he looks after me in my big bike racing.

I have actually talked to him If I got the money and he still has it Im thinking of getting it aye

"Built by Pete Sales"

Is it running methanol then?

Pete's quite strong on gas requirements, but Meths is (was?) still legal in pre72 hence the TM400 if that is what you are getting at.

But years ago someone was trying to run his old bucket on his dyno on Av before it was legal in buckets (is now) & he smelt it & made him drain the tank & start again with pump gas. I'd trust what he builds is legal to class rules, but a good tuner will read the rulebook & push to the very edge of the rules.

But don't want to get into any idle conjecture about specifics.

The mighty TM and the mighty XR come to mind.
He does good (fast) work
