They were good times and a good mob… real touching comments from Terry about the funeral… I remeber Terry putting the wings on his casket and him riding up on his KDX but never got to ask him about it… these were some good guys.

Geoffs Missus sold me his bike for $4000 and I sold it before coming here for $3500… same bike today would still get $3k US… crazy.

Was looking at this itme when it was at $1800 Yamaha : WR : WR400F then went back at time of auction end… it went for $3400! a 5 year old bike! Bikes have got awful expensive….
