2 Strokes Down Under

keep en eye open for the green kwaka doing to doughnut... that was my old mans bike

your making that up surely

what was the name of the gang that supplied the bikes again

nope, less than 12 months after the bike was in the film my old man bought it as he had just grenaded his z900 turbo (first turbo streetbike in aus) and was fed up with it.

unfortunately my old man didnt realise he was sitting on a gold mine and hacked it up and turned it into a 9.8 sec dragbike which held the record for many years right up untill ANDRA killed the 'superbike' class

iv got a photo of me sitting on it as a 4 year old, but the bike in its dragbike form is unrecognisable.

Watched it on Blu-Ray and time hasn't been to kind to it. Aust Muscle Car mag has had some brilliant articles on the whole thing mainly focusing on the cars.
Apparently the fellow that built all the cars was offered a slice of the box office in leiu of payment ............a decision he's still regretting.
