I love the old xr's mate look at the resale now that they have gone. D22 is next!!, I had the old twin carb 84 xr with a 280 kit the thing was a beast. As for the it490 my wife forced me to sell it bloody thing was "unusable" in the bush.

That's a better option Dave you must of looked after it, did you ever teach the boy's to ride?, I am thinking about a little bike and teach my girls. The little buggers already learned the 22 when they were 11 year olds.

Just saw this before I logged out Dave. Do you think a 14yr old would handle my bike. She is 170cms and can touch the ground, I am a bit worried it goes so well to suit me but I don't want to buy a toy for a few years and have to offload it. If you know what I mean.

Does seem a waste to buy a bike for a year or so, my boy was about 180 cm and 80 odd kilos at 15 riding my old xr , it really comes down to wether you think she is mature enough to handle a bike capable of a reasonable speed,

Had a shed clean out so i thought id do a group shot.
There's a 1100 Katana im restoring at the moment, a 1979 GS1000 and 2 CX500s still in the shed.
The car is a LC Torana that i have now sold.

That's a fair collection of bike. I like it.

My 1983 YZ125K and 1976 YZ250C [/URL][/IMG]

Triumph Tiger 800XC, great for Qlds poor excuses for roads - Also does fine on the firetrails, but not doing single track on a 214kg bike.

Had a few over the years.
1) XL 100 honda
2) DT250 Yammy
3) XT 500G yammy
4) Z900B
5) Z1000J Lawson Replica (bikes 3+4 should never have been let go)
6) Te 610 Husky still in the shed
7) FJR1300 current sled.

Most favourite bike was the z900 but the fjr is getting real close though.

I got my L's last year to give road bikes a go. Bought a 2005 CB250 with 3000 kms on it, looks new almost. Selling it to go back to dirt

Well done!, better off in the dirt than dealing with the idiots on the road.

So true! Had so many near misses. Lucky it's a light bike to flick around

Picked this up last weekend.

2003 Triumph America, only 4000k's on the clock and cost me $5000!!! Ridiculously good condition.

Going in for new exhaust, re-jet and tune next week.
