KT26s are still sold, up here they were the “popular” or wannabe kids shoes, we (dirtbike riders all two of us total out of 900 kids)wore dunlop volleys or elastic side riding boots, and JT, brothers nielsen or screenprinted long sleeved moto-style cotton shirts.

Our family had a DS80 1979 model twin shock red plastics, old man bought it brand new off Donny Pask, it was still in the family till late 90s’, couldn’t kill it with an axe went through 7 kids in our family alone.
