Here in NZ there has been trouble brewing between the post classic racers and other classes due to the technology of our machines, the rising cost of racing and us constanlty pushing the boundries of the rule book with our interpretations.

As a result of all the hassle, I have formed a splinter organisation to take advantage of the latest building technology and apply it to the era of machinery we know and love.

The bikes are knot what you would expect, but are with in the abilities of the average home handyman to build with tools already on hand...

Is it still a hard tail if it's made of softwood?

:funny I ididn't see that one coming!!!!!!!!

I'm working with the local pet shop to obtain trained termites, to hollow out the frame in specific areas, and then we can dial in any flex needed for added handling attributes :P

After Duke22 got back from the P.I. Classic meeting, I think there is a possibility for a Pacific Island Series as they already have a domestic series in Papua/ New Guinea...

and the Americans are also developing their own style of bike

unfortunatley the Japanese have seen a potential market and are moving to capitalize on it already

Yes it's the weekend, and yes I do have too much time on my hands today :)

I've seen pics of that first machine before

I believe it was made by the same guy who invented your old wooden wagon.... you know .... The good old RED FLYER

When he went to name his new cruiser bike, he wanted to stay in tradition so he called it the .... YELLOW FLEXER!!!
