Early 81 collaboration with Torker Carl, twin top tube, loop tail massively rare. Am sure Stodgy had one a while ago.

As Paulio said

rare as rare meat that a veggie would eat...they were gonna call it Torkdohs but it didnt sound right.

never seen one but have heard of it

DIRTBIKER250F · « **Reply #5 on:** November 12, 2008, 08:32 PM »

WARDY · « **Reply #6 on:** November 12, 2008, 08:39 PM »

looks a funny beast that, nice to have in ya collection though, thats if ya could source one, where these made from aluminium

was it one of the first pit bikes

DIRTBIKER250F · « **Reply #7 on:** November 12, 2008, 08:51 PM »

It had the revolutionary twin top tube and also two wheel drive, the back crank to pedal up the face of the jump and the front to pedal down again.
There was a story going around that Harry Leary had mastered pedaling one foot on each crank. I have not got the right up but it was meant to have beaten the Ripper round the SE test track by 21 seconds.

A radical concept Carl

fook me distinction mag......i have the whole 3rd series in the loft

Peac-ock farmer

Im not so sure I know he lost a leg when he double holed on the vert and that ended his sort but leg-endry career.....He opened the local kwiksave down my way

he signed a tin of beans for me

wish i never ate them now as that tin of beans would have bean worth loads

LEGEND

WARDY · « **Reply #20 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:07 AM »

fook the beans Matt, try and find that mag wanna know more bout that SE

times musta bean

hard for ya if ya had to eat em

I seem to remember that SE collaborated with Sir CLive SInclair in the 80s on some kind of battery powered front drive sytem to replace the front crank and pedal, but did it ever get made? I dont think it did.
Stealth Rabbit was in BMx Action talking about it I think?
Pot hole riding was a step too far on vert in my opinion, too many injuries and not enough trophies!

Ahhh Steve, i forgot all about the collaboration with Sir Clive. I remember the ZX Spectrum game Magdoh Madness, it had a pic off the "STEALTH RABBIT" on the front doing a 2 cog hog

his signature move, that was before he invented the Warren Beauty in only the second time on ramp.

Its a shame about the beans Matt, things like tins of beans dont mean much at the time

Totally agree Steve.....Stealth rabbit (or rabito to his close friends

) He never wore the correct protection for pot holeing...I mean a boiler suit with sponge inserts

that was probably why he lost his leg 83?? or was it 84??

anyone remeber his song??

"rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit......rabbitt rabbit.."
