Twas a nice wee pootle ta very muchly.
I can see how train spotters are easily encouraged to shed their annoraks, and buy a helmet.
A very classy, simple beastie.

yeah but how was the bike

[tri boy]

I still got to ride it.
If I had the loose change, and a tolerance for orange bikes, Oscars 625 would be sitting in my garage now.

Thats the one But it's orange so it's no good to me although I wouldn't mind the muffler

IfI didn't have one already I'd be all over that one - cool tank, mono rear end, forks don't matter cos it'll be a forks swap job.

Damn I may even stretch to four bikes if the price stays low.

Damn I wish I hadn't seen that trademe ad- Bugger you Oscar

There's a muffler sitting in the shed mate that I took of the DR in 1992 when the Zorsts went on, I'll fish it out and have a look at it for ya I think I filled it with oil way back then so it might still be alright.

Werewolf had a ride on it, seemed to manage o.k. and you're 3 inches taller than him

Yebbut I wasn't paying attention when they said you have to get your feet flat on the ground. Doesn't worry me if my feet miss by 3 cm or 30 cm, I'm still gonna ride the fcuker!
