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?

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.
