Thought I?d have a bash at a 1 1/8 Mid School while I'm shielding at home.  I got my hands on this lovely 96 Holmes a few weeks back. I've been blowing up inboxes the last few weeks.

I only found out last night that a Holmes is just a longer dirt bike. They are exactly the same.

You learn something new every day !

I have never owned a S&M before. Nice to finally have one in my collection

Went out this evening for a bit, and yeah for a 20.75 TT it's got plenty of room.

Been reading about S&M a lot lately. Not only did I not know that a Holmes was a Dirt Bike with a longer TT but it didn't clock why it was called a Holmes.

Then the penny dropped
