Dirt bikes from their '70s heyday
Permalink  

Interesting little article about the Twin Shock Shop on the edge of Sidmouth in south Devon. I suspect many of you already know it.

"which has arguably the largest stock of 70s and early 80s trials bikes in the country with Ossas, Bultacos, Montesas and Fantics sharing space with Honda TLRs, Beamish Suzukis and Kawasakis"

Funnily enough I saw their ad in Classic Dirt Bike and wondered where they were!

 Strange that they could use that, i wonder if Martin knows about that, plus the bike does not now exist broken up a year ago.

The main buisness they share premis (and ownership/staff) with is body repairs / sprayshop. And they may have painted it.
