This AW was originally one of Phil Thew Moto's Team bikes raced by Noel Harker. Noel later purchased it and restored it, after having survived the heady days of MX with Noel piloting (those who know him will understand) It now rests easy among Chippy's collection

KX125 Short Circuit Bike, Frame manufactured by Jim Cook in QLD Australia for Brisk sales circa 1974, a popular bike made famous by the success of Tom Gibson. For our international friends Short Circuit is a Kidney shaped dirt track having only one right handed corner, likened sometimes to Speedway but the bikes are varying in capacity and are equipped with Brakes and gears.

Paul's latest project finally completed, '77 AW400 featuring many of the "Maico@Chippys" new products. It is believed this was the bike ridden by Graeme Noyce in the '77 Trans AMA series in the U.S. Whilst that cannot be substantiated it is interesting that the bike was obtained from Greg Smith (Wheelsmith)
