For whatever reason my computer won't let me view that, it say's "http error:404", whatever that means. Can anyone explain?

No you are not a ....., I reckon that for Bultacos up to 250cc, the kickstart works a treat, but the big ones (360cc) can be a bit of a challenge to kick over. I have a 360cc Alpina that I have to treat like a 4 stroke to start it[/quote]

Pussies! [/quote]

I represent that remark[/quote]

Represent or resent?[/quote]

Kombivan, It's a play on words that's not taken to heart IE: I resemble that comment, I represent that comment. Get it ? Or am I the one that has mis-interpreted?

Rod you interpreted it exactly as I meant it to be interpreted

[Kombivan]

i get it now never realised so many pronouncements for that word.

That's ok, it's an 'Aussie-ism'.

Back to basket cases, I/we have some "Master Craftsman" looking into our Ossa MAR respray's at this point in time. I think the results will be impressive, hey Chippy.

I wonder which model that Ross was sponsored on[/quote]

I rode with Ross a few times as I was in the Motorcycle Club of Canberra (trials division) with him . The he was sponsored on was a 1978 model. I haven't seen any of those since.

Who was Ross' sponsor for the ? I'm having trouble remembering aussie dealers for trials bikes in the late 1970s. "Sport and Road" maybe? and whatever John Burrows' shop in Melbourne was called?
I do know that there was an immaculate example of one of those ( TR77) for sale in Australia a few years ago

Hi Greg,

I have a TL125 black plastic inner guard it's not in great shape though but you are welcome to it if you want it? It's still attached to an old rear guard again not "concourse" condition to put it mildly but again you can have it for the price of postage if interested. I'll try to get a photo of it in the next couple of days so you can see what I'm talking about exactly and if you want it?

I'm after a chain guard to fit a M124 Sherpa T if anyone can help with that?

Cheers mate.
