Chappa Online Platinum Boarder Posts: 440 Thank you received: 38	Not sure what the difference is between the MX and the GT they look the same I still remember the excitement driving home from Yarram to our farm with that little bike in the back of the ford wagon. Till we got home to discover none of us even knew how to ride it. Had to go get the neighbor to show us

Unfortunately for the engine it worked the other way as well. So from top you could lift to neutral and then again to first - BOOM!

Take 1 - no go - phone Tim D

So I got the photo embedded - thanks Tim, but I could not edit and add text to the photo?

Thats me and my DT1 trying to teach each other tricks. You can see I've got the number plate rubber mounted, no it's not bent - not this time

Those big tail light lenses were a tad expensive but eventually I could mono like a loose cannon.

Body armour was waiting to be invented so I just used body amore!

It's just more time to be flat out!

Ken R Offline Platinum Boarder RETIRED? Posts: 2961 Thank you received: 137	So back in the day, wash aways, aca "jumps" had not been invented, so we got our air time down at Moorooduc quarry. This deserted quarry was a great play ground just down the road from Frankston, ride down - play - ride home - me and lots of others loved it. DT1's could fly.
