Queer ag bikes I have ridden.

Note the date on Wari's post! 2002...wonder what happened? I hope it was fun!

Oh true - I didn't even realise we were in a dug up thread! This one's really going back into the mists of time!

Tanaka still make chainsaws (shudder)

I remember an Aussie made bike, who the hell would call a bike a "combat Wombat?"

While we are trying to extend this post I may as well join in.

The Combat Wombat wasn’t Aussie, it was a Hodaka which was one of the ‘Big 6’ Japanese makers. They made good quality dirtbikes but along with Bridgestone went out of business to leave the remaining ‘Big 4’

But then there was Lilac which made a Japanese BMW copy, maybe they would have survived were it not for a few (tiny) production dilemmas which caused the bikes to commit Hari-kari (couldn’t spell Cepco or whatever).

Remember the old Mountain Goat? Similiar thing had a Kawi 90cc two stroke engine with big tyres on little wheels,

Thats what I learned on What a pile of poo. Buff orange with no power and baloon tyres. Wasn't it NZ assembled or even NZ made? Would be a classic now.

Yip NZ assembled I think, I started on a green one
There was also the Gnat? 3 wheeled monstrosity, think it sort of had like a handle off a grocery trolley, triangular type set up?

My cousin had a Hodaka 100 engine in a tc125 frame...dunno how it survived all those 4th to first changes at full rpm.....
What about the Suzuki rv90 with the little fat wheels?




What was that 2wd thing with the chain driven front wheels and tractor tread tyres?remember them?(edit,found it,the rokon 2wd)





Yeah the gnat......a flat three wheeled thing....what were they thinking :spudwhat:

Remember the old Mountain Goat?

You just had to bring back that particular nightmare didn't you

That might have been the first bike I ever rode,I've needed counselling ever since
