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.It took two of us to get it up there; and would no doubt have made an amusing video!!

Found some old prints of my RGV recently, and my fave old shot of the YZ250 from years back, which I haven't posted for a while
Hey Barry, is that the lane near Helsby Hill, looking up towards the Mersey View? If so I used to go mountain biking around there all the time.xstian said:

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!!
heres my now sold RS250 (infact i sold it about 6 years ago, wish i had kept hold of it as it was a brilliant example)
i also have a 2003 KX250 mx bike that needs a full engine rebuild. as im not car racing this year i may well get that sorted a do a few weeks at the local mx track
more photos of RS250 and KX250 here. two-stroke for ever!!

It will be much nicer after I've gone through it over the next couple of months! Lot's of cosmetic and mechanical detail improvements planned. Classic TT, mm yea, would cost too much to run it competitively, but be nice to parade it. I restored three very nice classic racers for the TT in the 1990's when you could have a good ride without following the TM's; it's too restricted now unless you're Ago or Read!!
A bit of ring ding ding for you,my old kx500 i had 2 years ago

I've raced a few but only off road
Not had many smoker road bikes tbh but I got this 2 years back and went about fully restoring it with all genuine parts.
This is the finished bike that now sits nicely on a bench in my garage to look at :-)
It means alot because its what I raced in the 90's a Honda CR125 1997 last of the steel frames and 6 speed 'box

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