MAJESTY
No, not the Queen.
In our first pic we see proud papa Trevor the K leaning on his MAJESTY Yamaha 250, which he has turned out gorgesously, or however in hell you spell that.....Ignore the Rothman's Honda team overalls, a leftover from his days in the '80's on the works Honda team in England that included Steve Saunders and World Trials Champion Eddy Lejeune.
MAJESTY, for the uninitiate, stands for Mick Andrews, John E. Shirts, and TY Yamaha. MAJESTY. Mick Andrews being the blonde goofball English trials champion and frame designer, John E. Shirts the builder, and TY Yamaha being, well, the TY Yamaha that was cannibalised for all the other bits to throw at the MAJESTY frame. Ain't too many of the MAJESTY's around.....
This particular MAJESTY used to be owned by the Guru until Trevor talked him out of it in early 2005. We built him a killer engine and pair of custom Falcon shocks, electronic ignition, carb, and he did all the cosmetics and came up with the sweet machine you see here. Seems almost a shame to take it out and get it all muddy.
Speaking of getting it muddy, here in pic number two we see the Guru putting the MAJESTY through some paces, although I didn't get a pic of him mucking up a particularly nasty hillclimb that had Trevor quite wound up and worried about his cosmetics (especially the tank) being mangled on the down-tumble. However, all was good and the bike was unscathed, at least for today......

Hey nice pictures. Did the Guru fall a couple of times? It looks like he's got snow on his chin.
Hmmmm.......funny you should ask that, as he did fall a couple of times and I did manage to get a picture of it! Too damn bad I took the pic with his camera and he won't let my have a copy of the digital file.......HAHA
I can probably take care of that for you.......tlc
