seller is a member on here "oldgirl" she sent me the pics about a week ago and i advised her on the parts and how to describe it in the add, i tell you it is one of the best survivors i have ever seen ,ok the frame isnt as collectable as some but the parts are buet and nearly NOS here's some more pics. If i hadn't just bought the Hotfoot i would be chasing it myself.

Very nice bike.
I was at the filming of the Speedwell ad at Castle Hill track. Theres another Supermaxi on the bay too. Bit rough but it's all there.

I was looking at bidding on this one!

The frame looks very much like a supermax, were they related?

Hey Guys,

I bid on this baby, I was sittin on $328 for a while, and I was going up to about $688, but missed the button and bid $618 for the last bid and lost her Cry, I used to race one of these at the Budgewoi track(Central Coast, NSW) but with gold alloys Grin, I wanted her sooooo bad, but oh well, sooooooo sad now!!! Can't wait to see the collection on the show Fri night. Smiley

Anyway catch yas soon!!!

You rock Richie.  Thank you so much for helping me with the ad.  I cannot believe the interest in the "old girl" (the bike, not me).  Thank you also to all of you who were bidding on it.  Hopefully it will remain intact and that the person who bought it will love it.  Good luck to all of you.  This website is fantastic.

Cheers,

"oldgirl".

Yeah, my $450 did not go as far as I had hoped for!

I hope that it does not get parted out and goes to a good home.

Cheers Dave.
