The Sunn Squeaky!

Now, this was something rather special!!! remeber the date... this was fresh in from winning the downhill, times where 40lb DH bikes were heavy!!

Im guessing some random SAMS event!

Nice to have you back Matt. We thought maybe you were lost at sea
Where have you been hiding

[mattpayne]

cheers guys its nice to feel missed!!!

had a bit of time off to shuffle bits of life about, but now looking forward to getting to some more rides!

The problem with Bike transportation has been fixed now too... no more dangling the Fat off the back of the car, or having to deflate tyres to fit them in the boot!!!

this is the new bike transport!

I like the look of them Mitsu vans- not so 'trading estate' as transits............

 

[sunchaser]

Nice van! instant A-team!

or Scooby-doo mystery machine if you paint it blue n green

 

[mattpayne]

the van kicks arse in many ways!!! and a different league to a transit!!! its a 2.8 turbo diesel, taken from the Shogun, as is the switchable running gear with difflocks... then inside we have tv/dvd, electric curtains, glass roof with electic blinds, seats that swivel round to face eachoter, fully adjustable and fold into a bed... 2 lots of aircon with controls for the rear passenger, flouresent lighting with red option for stealth manouvers! and its AWESOME off road!!!

heres some more photos of it in action!
