1984 JMC Racing Darrell Young
Show bike built up to be pure eye candy
This bike was built up as a tribute to the late great Jim Melton, may he rest in peace. JMC Racing bike have always meant so much to me, many friends I raced with back in the day were on JMC machines. I always wanted one but one was out of my parents reach. I decided to build up a JMC purely as a show bike, it had to be sleek and eye catching and unique. Black chrome combination is always a winner in my eyes so I set about acquiring a DY frame and fork and all of the bits needed. Most parts were OG and survivor and have been meticulously restored to ensure they will be appreciated for years to come. I am all for saving parts and giving them the utmost love.

Outstanding.

Everybody comes to a point in there life when they want to quit, but it's what you do at that moment that determines who you are. See i don't want to hear from people that tell me success is easy, i want to hear from the people who fought it out, who went all twelve rounds with life and got to the other side.
