Kid photo - first ride on TY80

David

your quite within your rights to be a proud father.

I became a dad for the fist time 4 weeks ago to a bouncing baby boy, he is
very lucky because I have a ty80 sitting in the garage ready to be restored in time
for him to ride when he is ready. I think i might get him on a pee wee first with training wheels but we have a bit of time before that happens.

Hence my post in the wanted section for a good TY80 tank
if anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated

cheers

Even a TY50 with bicycle pedals was the weapon of choice for a budding Martin Lampkin back in 77, not only could you trial them you could ride them to school at 80kph.

Even when you stalled them in a section you could peddle out for a clean, is there nothing that bike couldn't do?

Nice riding Darcy.

Wish I had started on the TY80, I had the MX80. It looked more like Martin's 50. Kept going through 10years of abuse. Ended up stuck on full revs in top gear, still managed to jump over a bale twine fire, on the gravel road out the front of the house. Push start and running on the kill switch. Looped out when I came off the jump and slid down the road in jeans. Still got the hip scars. Watching Evel Knievel and thought looks like fun i'll have a crack.
