Rides....past and present

[Eveready1100]

Nice trailer on the quad, mate! Can I foresee a towbar on the "E" and a rig for hauling firewood at the next rally?

Seriously, though. The CT is a legend in it's own right, and your pair of "E's" are gems plus the TRX would be quite tasty on a decent stretch of twisty roads (How"s the exhaust note!!!)
Nice selection there, mate! A taste for all seasons.

BTW What did you do with the big headlight off the TRX??? Hint, hint??

And a different mighty yamaha. "94" 350 single permanent 4WD I checked the oil twice and it was the same both times ...so i stopped doing that about 5years ago. Jack and monty give it lots of encouragement by barking at it like maniacs

Bit of an update.

The collection as it stands today

L to R

The mighty posty with the BIG 110 donk and high low range.

"The project" that came with an expensive set of original pipes
The Goer soon to receive the 4-2 pipes and best bits off the project bike

And the TRX, just finished putting it back to original "Dressed" condition for long term storage. might pull out in 10 years time and still be worth FA but it'll be in good nick

I'm hearing you,

[Jonesy]

Hey Steptoe,
Good tip with the pods, not that I'll go down that track again
Yeah, Oberon with windchills that felt like  minus a trillion, somedays were so cold I was in pain.

[steptoe]

nice story, guzzi looks good, have always fancied them to,,

oberon 365 days, man, a couple of them would have been a bit cool

pods rarely run well that close to the carbs,{with out a lot of work}, for best results they need to be on the end of the original velocity stacks

My first and second ever bikes FT 500 and G model XS 1.1 around 1983

Then a taste for twins and my first go at spray painting

then a step back in time when britannia ruled the roads....well not with a 250 beeza

The XS 1.1 that chrisso now owns going through one of its metamorphis, note pod filters, never could get 'em to run properly. and the staintune 4-1 before I chopped it em up to make 4-2

and the TRX 850 I i sold the XS to buy in 97. still got it and rode it just last week.....sounds F'n lovely too


Theres some bikes missing too
An XJ 650 that was decked out with driving lights, leg shields, handle bar heaters, and over mits for daily commutes to Oberon 365 days a year for a bout 4 years and all I ever had to replace was a starter solenoid
And a mint honda 400/4 that Ioriginally bought for the oerbon commute that included dirt road and was just too good to abuse like that.
