I must be getting old, but I don't remember the concrete start pad. I just remember the 5th gear start straight to a 180 turn.

For some reason, I hated racing Zack Ames. We had some good battles at the area qualifiers throughout the years, but he usually got the better of me. I think my disdain grows from an ass whooping he gave me at Casey Illinois and that big ass 6 on the back of his chest protector.

He was quite a phenom back then. He used to race at my club, Treaty City MC, when he was on Minis and SuperMinis. He would smoke the A field while on his SuperMini.

The F&S Rehmert Rockets were pretty cool. I never rode Suzukis or liked them for that matter but they definitely had a strong showing nationwide.

I don't think Barry ever rode for F&S. He was and still is a Bromley's guy.

I have a 1987 Suzuki RM 125 and I was wondering what other years are compatible for the crankshaft?

F&S bikes always looked sick. Always bought RM’s from them. The sales volume allowed them to sell bikes at great prices. When the doors were closed at F&S it was certainly loss for the OH. MX scene.
When did they actually close? I bought an 07 from them that came came with an F&S ball cap. Wore that hat for years until the dog ate it. Tried to buy a new one online but no luck. Guess that explains why.

My cousin had a 96 F&S RM125 back around '00.

It ran strong and the blue Excels were sweet.
