same sort of period

scoot was some silly old mans tv 200 with big screen fitted but i only had a provisional so it was made into a err 125 i still have this casing

not a racing but trials scooter, the team i belonged to had these as well with a nasty little 90 thing with a tank in the middle that eventually ended up on the scrap heap at work after it was repeatedly rolled and the frame twisted

1993/94 ish

HaHa, Yes definately!

In our 1st season Jase and I went through 6 genuine SX200 headsets!! Doh! £$£$£$

This picture was taken just after a race at Darley Moor............

I went down at the hairpin, as I hit the ground Stuart Day rode over my wrist! This was race one. Despite being in real agony I managed to get the complete headset changed over to the one in this photo. It was only then that I realised I could ride the bike but stopping it was going to be a real problem.......It was my right wrist that was injured and I couldn't pull the brake!!

All that money spent for 2 laps of the track! Doh!

Later went to hospital in Swindon and found out that Stuart had actually broken my wrist when he rode over it!! I also had a nice TT91 bruise tattoo in the skin!

Oh the joys of racing............do I miss it?? Hell Yeah!

A couple of pics of my Sprinter, looking at modifying this one when the new frame arrives and entering it in a couple of EVO races towards the end of the year ( If and when the rules have been finalised and are available hint hint !! )

Nice Pete...have you ate those biscuits yet need to stop hiding them if your going to get close to the sprinting weight
