JT Freestyle
Been known for my replica builds but this is the real deal, Tommy Brackens actual 1984 Torker Pro-X survivor that he won numerous races on right up to the November 1984 bankruptcy of Torker.
With being a Dad for the last three and a half years I haven't built a bike but our daughter, Jemma (little JT), suggested building one as she always saw this white frame and fork lying around. This was a great bike to introduce her to wrenching all the parts together a little bit and photographing the history of our awesome sport!

If you never met Tommy Brackens you need to. Tommy is so funny and the stories are just too gnarly the way he communicates them.
The Human Dragster is so fitting as Tommy was so fast on the straights and a 1987 NORA cup winner!
After the Torker bankruptcy Tommy went on to develop Brackens Racing Products in 1986! Type your paragraph here.
