spout Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Heres a pic of me old bike. Taken in 1984 or 85. It was a little out dated then as I remember doing very badly at a trial in Pott Shrigley. My Brother had just bought a brand new TLR and proceeded to dent the tank in the first trial. I notice the valve lifter is fitted but not connected and the rear shocks look knackered. I remember the frame was cracked under the head stock (and being told as a teenager that this was normal!).. Any one else got some old pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spout Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 mmmmm..guilty of not looking after the chain (I dont remember ever changing the oil either) ... I was a youngster.... I spent more time trail riding on the XT 500 I had at the time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Hey dabber that looks like an anodised chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwilson Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Looks like the chain is well lubricated with an Iron Oxide compound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwspout Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Presumably the new fashion for 'wavy' brake discs was inspired by your bash plate. Any pics of MEN 173 R ? ..and "how do bro!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spout Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Nope, non of that trusty little 125. One very similar on e-bay at the moment - in Bangor too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
