Hi Everyone,

Did someone mention Coffs Harbour?

There is a theme that I have noticed with the last few tests, for some reason Rod has an example of most if them in his bike shed.....

Apparently there are 2 x GREEN and 2 x RED instead of WHITE like in the test.

Hey Greg,

This was THE Magazine that had me buy my first bike ( TY250A - of course ) within 2 months of its publication!

Here is the test between Mick Andrews bikes that helped this young teenager decide which bike to ride and the results were lasting as I still own my first :yamaha TY 250A.

Billy, you haven't changed a bit!
How good is your Memory? Looks like a :montesa 172, I am thinking RED? Was it an aftermarket bashplate and which kickstart was It?

So back to the almost as good as :suzuki humble :yamaha TY 250 A

A bit off topic, sorry, but as a long-time rider of litre+ road bikes recently forced onto a 300cc bike by arthritis, that last page from a magazine article made me smile: "the brute strength of its 250cc engine"

:D


I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

Hi Greg, I need the photo to keep the memory alive. It is poster size and lives in the man cave.
Yes, a Montesa 172, the original red one. Could never get my head around them being any other colour. Anyway, bought it new in late 1976. Brand new - $950.
It was an aftermarket bashplate. The shape of a large shovel. Plastic. Served me well.
I suffered the same kick starter shaft fail as many others did. The original shaft had the groove all the way around and didn't take long to shear off. It was replaced under warrenty with one that had a short groove on one side of the shaft. Served well for many years. The kick starter was off a Cota 123.
