To someone off here?

Just completed the notice of disposal for this. If you'll excuse me I'll be sitting in the corner feeling quite emotional for a while.

After finding the plate hiding behind a bunch of cables can confirm this is an 80G. (3XI...)

Well that easy! Download app, install, sign in with gmail, can see everything. Why can’t the highly acclaimed photo bucket do the same? Thanks TYKWY,
Sorry Jonesy but the photo bucket thing only ever worked for about 2 weeks for me, that was about maby 8 or 9 yrs ago, ever since then, pure, absolute frustration! And cannot even cancel my account cos they won’t let me in!

Sorry Makzy, I thought Photobucket was preferred. I've also got them in an ad free Google Photos folder here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Qa1SAiH7jUHAcbNv1

Well I’m really sorry gentilemen but I’ve had an absolute gut full of this f....n photobucket bullshit! Would only let me see 3 pics, then had to sign in as a member and they won’t even let me do that! I am an fn member, have paid my dues, and they still shut me down, I’d really really like to meet their CEO and I’d bring my Harrington & Richards to the party! Not even going to try and look at pics anymore! Apollogise for the outburst! Cheers.

This morning I replaced the battery and registered her until March 6th 2019. Took her out for an hour drive to blow out the cobwebs and she was great.

The bike is currently sitting at 81,000kms. Battery arrives Friday and if I get home before sundown one day this week I'll get some pictures.

80G with sidecar
« Reply #1 on: April 09, 2018, 11:00:28 AM »
My not so trusty steed requires more love and care than I can provide, when she runs, she runs great, but I don't get her out of the house enough and I don't have the mechanical nous to keep her running well. I'll put some better photos up asap, and as soon as my new battery arrives I'll confirm all is working and renew the rego if required as she just lapsed.. Had her running about 3 months ago just fine.
 
Purchased in 2011 with around 75,000 on the clock and completely forgot to check this morning when I left the house, but around 90k now (Will confirm tonight). In the 7 years I've owned her she's gone on the following

Bathurst to Sydney.
Sydney to Wagga & back.
Sydney to Canberra & back.
Sydney to Wangi & back several times.
Sydney to Newcastle & back twice.

I've also replaced the brakes with assistance from Xtian, rebuilt the gear box (well ok, Clubman Motorcycles in Tempe did that) and cleaned and coated the fuel tank to stop rust getting into the carbs which I have also serviced. 

On the open road with a bit of weight in the chair she handles well, if there is no ballast then remember to take left turns slow (no slower than that) and you'll be fine.

2015 August


2011 November during a bloody long rebuild.


2011 with the wife and 9 year old son in the chair.


I haven't yet thought about price and am willing to consider splitting the sidecar if someone wants the bike. I'm selling to replace with a bike younger than my now 14 year old son and sidecar, either purchased as is or converted by SRK engineering.

Pickup in Croydon (Sydney) or we can discuss delivery options.
