Na I want to have a play at trials riding just to try and expand the skill set some more. Good thing about the old bikes is that they could be road reg so I could use it for riding to work. Only problem is that it might get a bit tempting to ride over the queued cars rather than around them

I reckon these are cool - drooled over these as a young guy.

Just $1800 on TM: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-258864866.htm

Wish I had a big shed and some money

I rode one when I was a young guy.
It was horrible then and it's probably more horrible now.

Harsh but true.
Get a TT500, XR500a or a XL500s.
Much betterer....
