I would rather push my twinshock than ride a modern!

Hi all, 1st post and all that...just stumbled on the forums. :thumb:

I used to ride a KT250 in club trials around Sydney in the early '80s. It was the first bike I bought, and I'm very pleased to say I still have it. :mrgreen:

I'd like to be able to display a "before and after" but, alas, at this stage it's only a "before".

I dragged it out of the garage today for these pics. I haven't ridden a trial since about '84??? I guess and actually the bike hasn't been ridden really much since then, apart from being started a few times in the early '90s.

I'll start another thread to pester you guys for info on the resto. ^W^

Those TLRs looked like a spaceship back in the '80s, especially when parked next to the KT. Nice bike, you've chosen wisely. =D>

I've just finished tidying up my TY175 in preparation for the Brooweena ride next weekend and decided to try a slightly different colour scheme

Beautiful job David, pity there is a bolt missing on the back mudguard.

Hey Cedric that "missing" bolt is the reason why that mudguard has lasted 10 years without getting creased from crashing!
PS - the parts for Mac's bike are ready for collection

Just think yourself lucky that the welder didn't have a go at welding the kickstart and gearshift levers on.

That "creative" welding might be considered art in some circles.

Your posting reminded me of something similar that was given to a friend up here a couple of weeks ago. It was the "front part" of a TY250 twinshock - the frame tubes had been cut through behind the steering head and what he got still had the wheel, forks, triple clamps, headlight and even the tool pouch was still inside the little compartment they have there - but nothing else - gone! I would love to know the story behind that one.
