Old TRX article .... interesting - verrrry interesting!

Post by Greg » Sat Feb 05, 2011 2:08 pm

Hello boys and girls...

Remember me - ginger bearded ... not as good looking as Jak?

Anyway, I was looking at some of the magazines I keep under my bed, and came across this one ( as well as a few other interesting middle page spreads...) :oops:

Interesting to me because I owned and improved my own TRX, as well as currently owning a 750K1 as a track-bike ... Interesting also because a quick squint at the DVLA site shows that this TRX is still on the books, and is presently taxed until November 2011 - anyone know who it belongs to?

The magazine was Motorcycle International from June '96 - undoubtedly slightly higher-brow than the other offerings of the time, but they've still given a huge amount of page-space to this article, as well as having many other TRX references liberally scattered throughout the mag.

Hopefully the scans are ok - enjoy the read!

Love to all
Greg

Thanks! Still yet to sample a 750 four, would love one in the garage, alongside the trixie of course.
