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 ???

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 :daumenhoch:
-
:shocked: :shocked: how did harry manage that

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 :coolsmiley: he signed a tin of beans for me :LolLolLolLol: wish i never ate them now as that tin of beans would have bean worth loads :shocked:
LEGEND :daumenhoch:
-
fook the beans Matt, try and find that mag wanna know more bout that SE :tickedoff: times musta bean :LolLolLolLol: 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 :smitten: 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 :crazy2: 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.." :4_17_5:
