There are Marty Moates replica bikes around for sure. I had an RM500 in a 250 frame for quite a while until selling it 18 months ago. Don't know its true origins. It was a pretty good bike, but I never rode a standard RM500 to compare. I hope the fellow who bought it has kept it running.  Cheers, Jady |

Regarding the above Marty Moates bike myself and the bikes original builder (and Marty's sponsor) Ron Whitemore intend to refit it with the running gear as Marty rode it. As he was a WP supported rider he ran their shock and pipe ( anyone got any leads on this stuff??) up front he ran works Showa forks fitted to a special WP made triple clamp. ( That has us scratching our heads). Once we have this stuff fitted and the appropriate 125 tank and false radiator shroud we will bring it out.
Any leads on any of this stuff will be most helpfull.

And you didn't even come up and say g'day!!!  It really was 'Puncture Park' that day! We did a day trip from Mt. Gambier. I wandered onto the infield and tried to look important so as not to get kicked out like some others............ it worked.......... |

Somewhere in my VHS video collection, I have the Channel 9 broadcast of that fateful day at Broadford when Goof's rocketship dethroned Gally. I really must try to drag that out and convert it to digital format. It's classic OZ Mr Motocross at it's best! |

I suggest you do it sooner than later Ajay!
When i converted some of my old VHS tapes to DVD (some dating back to 1984) about 8 years ago i was shocked that some of them suffered significant color bleeding, grainy and were badly deteriorated and only just watch able, i converted them anyway as something is better than nothing.
