	<pre>Thank you for looking at my Vintage Motorcycle Fiberglass Catalog. My name is Roger Paul Moreau, I restore vintage mx and enduro motorcycles for a hobby. The above picture is my latest restoration project; a Swedish "Monarch" 125cc. This motorcycle is powered by a Sachs motor. I have finished putting it back together and am now tuning it up. The fenders, number plates and gas tank are my own replacements.. The motorcycles pictured in this catalog belong to me, my friends,and others. The fiberglass for these motorcycles is made where I work, Trailer Products Inc. We make custom molds, offroad truck parts and chemical tanks.
