Lets see your 2 stroke's. Track, road, scooters, MX, anything 2 stroke, as long as it's interesting, so no hedge trimmers ect.

That thread has a similar title, but if you could be bothered to read it, it's about one guy and his 2 stroke go kart. This thread is about what other PH members have in the garage.

Here's a photo of my little brothers Yamaha DT50. He sold it for a DT125.

I thought I would resurrect this old thread as an excuse to show off the new exhaust I've just had fitted to the CRM. Sorry about the poor quality picture, my phone camera is crap. Its just had a new clutch, exhaust and the rear shock rebuilt. I just put it back together again today. Just in time for a bit of Christmas green laneing.

As my hall way is full of R1, my RG500 has moved into the upstairs lounge for the winter and some gentle cosmetic detailing in the warm!!
It took two of us to get it up there; and would no doubt have made an amusing video!!
Apologies for the crappy mobile pic..

Defiantly worth a video if you rode it up the stairs with your mate on the back. Nice bike, I hope it doesn't spend all year inside though.

Ha ha, there is no way you could get anyone on the back with a race bike seat as fragile as a MK1 RG's!! 8,000 rpm pull away would have been 'interesting' too...
No we carried it up some outside concrete stairs, including me lifting the back end above shoulder height to get it round a bend and over a low wall!!
It will get used at parades, and probably first run up will be at one of the MFN Wednesday bike meets; it's just in the living room for the winter!!
I'm glad it gets to see the light of day sometimes. It always seem a pity when these sort of bikes are locked in sheds and barns and never used.

What a fantastic thread this is..

These may appeal to some, from last weekends Newark Classic show...I really fancy the TS50X myself!



















This is a chap called Dave from the 2T forums ZXR400 framed turbo!

It has an RD400 bottom end with modified 350LC barrels giving it approx 400cc..its running a single turbo on it at the moment, he hopes to get it twin turbo'd by the Spring!




It aint pretty but it works..

My mate has a TS125 in his shed that he keeps talking about restoring. I think I might have to start to nag him to pull his finger out.

Just pick this up a few weeks ago. It needs a few jobs doing, like fixing the leaky tank, but other than that its not bad.

Finally getting my RGV back on the road. I've owned this for 13 years and is the vehicle I have owned for the longest. A couple of years ago, when I was getting a new garage built, I decided to give it a light restoration. Its now ready for a MOT. I'm looking forward to riding this again. It's not that fast, but its so much fun keeping it on song.
