There is so much trick stuff on that bike I dont know where to look !!!

I always thought 17" spoked rims were about the sexiest thing ever !

Remember the days when WP Suspension was called White Power ? hahaha

Holy fuken dooley!

Carpenter Racing are getting rediculous numbers out of Rocket 3's !

They recently put one into the 8 second bracket.

Check this shakedown run of their twin donk landspeed bike where this used only 267 of its available 1000hp !!!!

Note that it was only a third gear run.

Found a pic of my old WR500. Miss that bike....

Cool, always wanted an IT490 after my 175. Ended up with a YZ490 which I swear was trying to hurt me.

Had a 2002 road registered CR500E for a while too.

Complete dog on the road though, so it was mainly used to throw me into the bushes.

How long ago did you have the IT Phil? I had an IT175 when I was 13... I don't think my mum had any idea how fast these went

Front end of my 79 GSX1100. Took a 3.5 x 18 inch rim off the back and put it on the front. Put a 17 x 5.5 in the rear.

Tobylee, it would easily have been 20 years. When I was living in Kalgoorlie.

Ended up snapping the frame down tube on a fuking humingous jump.

Expansion chamber slammed into either the ground or the front wheel, folded in half and smashed me in the leg on the way past.

Left me pushing the bike home. Sold it to a mate who welded the frame and repaired the spanny, but it was never the same.

The big banger YZ came along a few years after that.

Ah the good old days, when brain cells where in short supply.

Luckily, I've given up dangerous motorbikes.

That's what you get for trying to jump the super pit I forget how old I am sometimes... It was about 20 years ago I had mine also. Pretty clapped out by the time I was thru with it though. Not having 2nd gear while thrashing thru the bush made for some interesting riding!

One of the greatest tragedies in the history of the world was that these things didn't have ADR compliance.

I've still got a 1991 KTM540exc in storage that I'll get restored some day. Left-hand kickstart is a bitch, but ADR compliance means that it can be road licenced.
