The ACR +40 championship RM250 is on it’s way to the UK! 

After a great 4 years with my 1980 RM250 it was time to move on.  This bike was a frame up build that I completed - and of course I never stopped messing around with it after it was done.  I found it amazing […]

Thanks to Roy for taking the video.  Not only can you see me at the start, but pause the move at 2:15 - that is me laying on the ground!

Where did the 28 years go?

Broome was a 2 day event this year.  The full crew went - Gary, Scott, and I.  Day one at Broome was normal motos, but day 2 was a GP style, one long moto on a grass track.

Congratulations to Riccardo Prati - UISP Regional Champion! 
If you look back in my posts you will see that Riccardo bought my 1982 RM465 and shipped it back to his home in Italy.  Over the summer he was nice enough to send me a few pictures and updates.  The grass track pictures he sent me were […]

Wow, the days are flying by!
