Or maybe he wanted it to look like a certain Honda ........ or maybe he just likes gold.
Everyone has different tastes. Some people even like green or orange or whatever.
Personally I'd prefer a bike that made me look like I had some talent.

Hi Everyone,

Remember the first clue that it is not GREEN!

Hint number 2: The bike was made in a Country that has a DOT on it's flag.

Maybe we will see that nice Italjet an Conondale this year?

[David Lahey]

That was a big clue Greg - I now reckon its a TY250A

[Julz]

Certainly looks like a two colour tank - white on top and yellow on bottom... which would make David correct (as usual )

Don't forget I said it was an Italjet, even after Greg told us it wasn't green

[Reinald]

SWM look like an Italjet? mutter mutter - least italjets are Italian.
Would look cool tho'.

Hi Everyone,

And the Winner is the Guru from Gladstone, again!

TY250A and some rocks!

This particular "A" model was lent to me so I could lend it to prospective trials riders to ride and for this I have always been grateful. In exchange I have been maintaining it, quite a bit of effort was put into it to make it nice to ride at first, since then it has always been reliable. Several people have borrowed it and some of them have gone on to buy their own bikes!

A little wheeling and dealing before Christmas means that it is now mine and will continue to be used the same way. So I decided to celebrate this by taking it to Bikecamp this year, come to think of it I have never taken the same bike twice.

Donna riding this TY250A and me riding my other TY250A had a long Freeride on sunday on more open 70's style singletrack and we had to watch Naturally Free again afterwards. What a great movie, why can't anyone do movies like that anymore?

This lay in my neighbors field for years, got it to fire/run with premix in the manifold (no carb). 1965? Wards Riverside moped, Benelli engine. Wonder if I could get it through a novice section?

Hi Greg,

Is that photo taken on the banks of the Orara River?
