    Plus your GPS coordinates.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    This is probably old news and a bit hard to read, ("Ctrl +" makes it bigger in firefox) I found while looking for bits and pieces for my own part, function over form, resto.

    Yeah I found that story a ways back too.


    Youtube is closest I've come to seeing Strangers live but would have been cool.

    So why have one? Lets leave that for another thread please.
    So they can write descriptions like "Two Storey Bungalow"

    I did my bike test on a borrowed T90.
    My RD 350 was too big

    I have proof, see attached.
    Every bike was a dirt bike back then.
    I even saw a CB750 being ridden over some towering earthworks in the '70s

    My RD350B had 250 stickers on it but I was too scared to take my test on it (as I had been on my XR250A with no sidestand, indicators & dodgy muffler) + it kept oiling plugs so I did my test on a GSX250

    I used to ride my T250 around the top of Mt Eden at night - does that count.

    Well we've been here before it feels like. Whattdayamean nothing has happened in 5 years or 7 really. But this isn't Rusty, this is the good one.

    So now I seem to have some time its time to get under way.

    Sheesh but I've been reading parts books and assembling my spares. I'll sort of attempt a dry build, then get the frame etc painted and do the forks and wheels which will get me a roller.

    Just noticed a bracket cut off the frame. There's one on Rusty so I might have to cut and weld that onto the good frame.

    Wow what a fat seat that has Dave, not like the original on a Stinger.
    Cheers

    Yeah the seat base is original but it will need a repro cover and extra foam removed.

    Actually can a mod move this to the classic area? Thread started before it existed.

    I have better tanks that will be repainted to the gold and sound mudguards and wheels. I hope the forks of one of them come up OK. Frame on Rusty is scabby.
    Maybe this one is Racey. Rusty and Racey, what a pair of shitters.
