It also shows pride in your racing machine and that your prepared to put in the work to make it the best you can.

Big props to your mate Mark, Crazy Steve, pass on my encouragement to do more!

EDZACKERY!!!! well said.

Saw the bike at Mt Welly, the pics don't do it justice.

Nice work.

A standard RG50 can do that!

thats my next progect to fit tz350's engine to the bigger rs125 frame

Your bike is a shining example of what a good bucket should look like!

During the 08 BoB I was mesmerised into watching your shiny tailpiece as you dragged your knee though the puddle in the right left in the infield before the carousel.
As the back tyre started to catch up with the front I decided that I should stop watching you!

Niiiice! Good on ya's. I'm one of those people who thinks that presentation helps our image and in time our popularity. It may not help to win races but helps with the pose off in the pits.

I agree wholeheartedly.
IMO, the day of slapped-together buckets looking dodgy is gone (esp if you want to race at Kaitoke

)
