Great photo Greg. It looks like a big-wheel TY80 you are reminiscing about. There are a few of those around here still because Queensland Alumina used to have them as on-site transport at the time.

Re: new to site but my riding hobby never gets old
Ty175C is 1976 year model. Same mechanically as B (1975) model, but carby was not painted on C model, and the graphics were orange and white where B model was yellow and white. 1976 is the first year of bikes having ADR compliance plates for rego, which is why they brought out the Ty175JC with all the road going gear. Nowadays the rules for rego are probably different. I don't know - haven't tried to rego a trials bike for many years - they are terrible to ride on the road. If you are road riding 15 front 51 rear 428 chain was what I used in 1976 to ride to Uni on the south-east freeway in Brisbane tapped out at max RPM. Trials riding 12 front 51 rear 428 chain. If you are sticking to the 48 rear sprocket then 14 for the road.
