Show us a picture of your Twinshock or Classic Trials bike
I see some wonderfull original and restored twinshocks and classic trials bikes at local trials events in Queensland.
I thought it would be a good idea to ask all you guys Australia wide that have a piece of trials history in the garage to show us a picture of your twinshock or classic trials bike and a brief story of its history.

These lovely couple of bikes are the latest restorations by Col Phillipson.
I suspect that there wouldn't be too many of these late model Cota 123s around.
As for the Bultaco Sherpa T there wouldn't be very many of that model around either. There's a high-five for whoever gets the model designation correct first. I know I got it wrong.
If the photos are upside in your browser, sorry about that. We are on the bottom of the world after all

The Sherpa looks like a model 124 wearing an earlier model front guard, or is it a mod 132 (cancelled model) ?

It is rather hard trying to look at upside down photos on a PC David. Even my cat was looking at me and miming, what the hell are you doing fool!!!!! Very nice Sherpa though. Nicely done Col.
Well done Rod as well.

Restored this Sherpa many years ago, before I started riding at Denman. Organised the number plate with year model.
Sold it to a bloke here is Newcastle who intended to proudly ride it to cafes to meet up with his mates.
After this picture was taken I managed to restore a set of original rear shocks. Was a beautiful bike
Sorry about reflection on image, only pic I have is in a frame.

Obviously before you went to the dark side Steve, and it does look brilliant.
