We are definitely in danger of becoming mainstream!

if we are.....will this involve

A) starting another club up so that we can remain exclusive

B) getting new (non  mainstream) bikes

C) none of the above

Steve-

We can just become really elitist, and frown heavily on those who choose to modify   ;D

for example- non standard tyre valve caps, non-original oil, pattern gaskets, aftermarket headlamps...

Crimes against the beautiful, stylish and elegantly practical 1980s design teams...




Ok, ok, I'm going!!

Whoa!!

Inspiration. Me bird has just told me that man was talking to me. "You she says. Its the answer to your new bike problems - build one! You have done it before so you can do it again"

Eek. Where do I get a Yamaha 450 engine from? This could be the start of a very slippery slope of tuning bits etc (been there before too).

They generally used tuned motocrosser lumps (very light, reasonably cheap, compact)

Come racing!!  Get your SRX stripped, running, lockwired and throw it in the bak of my van!!
