After the name for a colleague of mine in the UK who has in interesting in RZs

The guy is in western Sydney somewhere and builds handmade frames for the RZ500 engine, company name has recently changed to his name (whatever it is) Engineering. He also built that three wheel thingy that Mick Matheson rode in the Peking to Paris race a few years back.

If anyone can post the builders name or web site or something (Philthy, I'm looking at you) that would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
Matt

I've been looking at those for a while. Some of those replicas have some pretty high spec parts, I'd certainly get the track day bike if I had some $$ laying around needing to be spent :lol:

I think that's the unit next to Craig Whites isn't it. If so he ain't there any more because Fibrezones there.

Cheers Mick, I'm pretty sure that's him, don't know how i didn't find it as I'd google for an hour or so before posting, darn computers, I hate technology :P

Pinchy, his first bike was in Rapid a few years ago but I threw all mine out a while back, the three wheeler thing from the Peking to Paris was in AMCN back when Mick Matheson was still editor.
