Man, that is awesome

So what year was the photo taken?

kungfunky · « **Reply #26 on:** July 31, 2011, 11:50 AM »

Guys I'm totally overwhelmed by the responses

, I never thought for one sec that this bike would get so many thumbs up. The picture is one of my all time fave os shots and pretty iconic so to have built the bike is the icing on the cake for me.
The picture was taken by OM Scot in either very late 79/ early 80, although he can remember taking the picture he's a little sketchy with the exact date. Scot has told me he will try and find the original photo and send it over so if that happens

.

the question is, should I get "stu" printed on my race jersey prior to it being framed?

Ash, I assume this will be making the pilgrimage to MK for all to worship at the 70's SE alter

Nice work bud, looks like you've got first and second place sewn up at the S&S in Vintage 70's race this year then mate

See you saturday fella

yes pal I'll bring it along for all to laugh at and if your lucky, maybe I'll let you have a spin on it. Pending Breath test

thanks again for the thumbs up guys and your right Sean that 70's section will be rocking

too right pal and I can't wait to feel that 70's vibe. If I dress the bikes up in platforms and afro wigs will they stand a better chance of winning

Do whatever it takes Ash

Gonna be a top line up in that section with all those entrants so far

Spen69 · « **Reply #37 on:** August 04, 2011, 11:31 PM »

I've got three 70's Geese but they're not 101% era correct so I'm not entering them in the S&S lads....

There will be a supply of Afro wigs and platform heels on display on the helipad on saturday with Ash's and my bikes and we might even bring some carpet to put them on so the carpet queen collectors feel at home

Then I'm racing my 1979 Suergoose on sunday

kungfunky · « **Reply #38 on:** August 04, 2011, 11:40 PM »

Got to be some nice fur rugs Spen and no ordinary carpet....actually thats given me an idea

Hey Ash, you should get that Honda brake lever Stu Always uses!

Not sure if it's this model:

Just bend and it and

kungfunky · « **Reply #43 on:** August 09, 2011, 02:00 PM »

I've seen that one and its not the correct one but similar, He also used the Team Products levers but finding one of those is fooooking not going to happen any day soon.

good to meet you at last mate, your bikes looked sweet in the flesh

Banachek BMX · « **Reply #45 on:** August 10, 2011, 09:58 PM »

Nice

Peter J · « **Reply #46 on:** August 11, 2011, 08:07 AM »

Ash

What lever did he use ?

The bike looks even better in the flesh

And your not a bad looking chap either

pickle · « **Reply #47 on:** August 11, 2011, 08:15 AM »

Ash, loved both of your bikes! they were both ones i really wanted to see over the weekend and they didn't dissapoint!

loved the film on sat evening as well, the guy is a machine!

kungfunky · « **Reply #48 on:** August 11, 2011, 09:47 AM »

Likewise guys, nice to finally meet all of you

top blokes indeed

Your right Rob, Stu was a friggin racing machine and pretty much feared by everyone, apart from Greg and they had some seriously good battles.
Tried to get this framed to bring along but forgot $:-\$

glad you liked the bikes

Peter J · « **Reply #49 on:** August 11, 2011, 09:50 AM »

Ash

I think it may be a good Idea if I pop round your house with a van

and a bottle of Chloroform, love the shirt
