Post by IanB »

It's time to add a dirt bike to my small collection in the garage, and here is living proof that I really should have a breathalyser on my keyboard :lol:

Ha! I used to own one of those back in the day. 'Twas a surprisingly good little thing off road.

I've got one, had it for about 30 years, used to belong to my best mate, it's maintained as "useable". For green laning and riding through winter. No indicators, 12 volt conversion and different bars. Havn't ridden it for a couple of years though but wo't take much to get it going.

Really good trail bikes, but exhausts are very rare
