Geoff Taylor bought the shop at 78 Foster St, Dandenong, from Stan "Sleepy" Jones on 1st July, 1971. Booming motorcycles sales (like nothing before or since) would then combine with Geoff's fame as a racer - to see this business become incredibly successful.

In this photo (circa mid-1970s), the shop has expanded twice already. After more than 10 exhausting years in the motocross saddle (with an Australian title and dozen of state titles), Geoff retired at end of 1974.

Dandy local and experienced sidecar-racing passenger Barry Frazer convinced Geoff to switch over to sidecar roadracing. This led to even greater success for ol' GT.
