John Griffin commented on Martin Brazil's video 'A little bit of everything but mostly great balance!'
Totally amazing. Not just one or to moves but constantly being on the egde. Maybe if I had a little time to practice, never mind.

Did this photographer get too close to a Bultaco? Is this picture the last thing he ever saw ?? Dirt bikers are protective of their stuff.

It must be fast because the front motor mount was engineered for the extreme Greeves power. I believe MKA went to school was Charlie Greeves and will have something German to say on the subject. Martin "poking the bear" Brazil

1975 model? Mark Pledger went plenty fast on one of these, for a while. David Greenhill also did his share of damage to Jap bikes riding a machine like this.
