skypig, I have a Technical Bulletin for TS125A dated 1975, and a TS125C parts catalogue dated 1977 that your friend is welcome to if he wants.

Cheers

Great photos Dennis, some interesting bikes there. The Morini would've been a handful pretty much anywhere with those tyres!

General Discussion / Re: Is TL125 the same mech's as SL/XL engines?

the TL125 trials iron, anyone know if the engine internals are the same as the SL/XL125's?

The CT125 might be worth looking at as well.

Anywhere i can see photos of the bikes that were in this event?

Several people posted photos on Facebook at the time. Off the top of my head I can't think of any dedicated online galleries.

August 2021 edition (#503) of Australasian Dirt Bike, and the current edition (#95) of Old Bike Australasia both have A3VE articles with photos.

On YouTube there are several short clips posted by CLens Media, who made the official DVD of the event (which is also available for sale).

Wanted / 1974-79 Yamaha AG175 exhaust
« on: May 20, 2021, 10:15:21 PM »
I'm looking for exhaust for first generation (orange) AG175 in good condition; in particular not worn too thin or holed in header area. I don't really need muffler or the 2 heat shields, but if they're part of the deal that's ok.

I can pick up from Ballarat area, Melbourne or VERi event. Also happy to pay postage.

FB link mightn't work because it's a closed group?

There's another one that is more complete, also on FB, located in Victoria for $550:

There's an XT200 roller for sale on FB for $150, located in Qld. It looks to have the parts you want.

XT225 does look to be similar, but I couldn't say for sure.

Please note that meal orders for Beaufort have CLOSED. If you haven’t confirmed an order already it is too late. You’ll need to bring your own food or make other arrangements. There are two pubs in Beaufort, plus a supermarket, bakery, cafes, etc.

Also, it is BYO drinks, including soft drink and water. It’ll be a warm day on Sunday, so bring plenty of water.

Husqvarna / The final countdown
« on: November 03, 2019, 10:39:01 PM »
After a 20-year absence, Husqvarna introduced their 4-stroke big-bore beast. In 1983, it tried establishing the brand as a top player on the bike market. Not only was a new engine presented, but the Swedes also gave up the red/chrome tanks in favour of new all-white machines. However, MX competition from Japan was fierce and Husqvarna did not have the financial resources to keep up with their opponents. Instead, the company looked towards enduro.

Hi Tex , what sort of stuff is mainly sold there ? Road or off road ?

I must confess that I don't know. This is apparently the second time it's been held, and I didn't go last year. Probably unlikely to go this time due to other commitments that weekend. It's run by a car & bike club so could be mostly car stuff. I came across the advertisement by accident.

It's a nice part of the world though, near Harrow actually. Someone might drop in and find there's nothing of interest, or there could be the rarest VMX artifact freshly pulled from a dusty shearing shed. Who can say?  ;)
