Under the seat of the RS125

Sam's custom fabricated seat for the Aprilia RS125.

Not just a spanner-man, Sam is a skilled Motor Engineer and welder, designing and producing custom parts as required.

First trial of the 2012 bike

Paul sets out on his first trial of the 2012 bike, a Suzuki SV650.

The larger bike fits Paul like a glove and he gets right on with the job in the autumn sunlight of Knockhill circuit.

Moving on

After cleaning up the 125cc championship, it's time to try something bigger.
