I'll start and then sit back and watch (because I like to watch),
I saw this interesting number plate/tank combo on evilbay and was wondering what it came off. any ideas?

YZ125G and CR250RD parts wanted

That water tank/bottle come number plate is either after market (Petty Preston??) or maybe GYT.
An interesting and rare MX/desert racing artifact. Is someone gonna buy it for the Ozvmx 'oddball' resto - the one with plastic levers, hex grips, cable linked brake et al? ;) ;D.

its an evil OEM Yamaha 1980 TT250G front numberplate /water bottle.
i know because i had one when i was 17. they were marketed as a fun bike as they had no lights and were not adr compliant and had very average suspension.
Just briefly seen in this clip

the next model the water bottle was replaced with headlight.
certainly a weird thing.

Hoony, water bottle is there for ballast - Hence that's why it was easy for you to do Mono's ;D

Do you remember there was an aftermarket water bottle made to clip over the cross bar ::) :P. The best place for an additional kg of weight ::).
-
so did you have to unscrew it from the forks to have a swig or just use a long straw? Hoony, maybe that's why you were standing on the seat doin a mono to try and reach it? ;D

I guess all you had to do was take the breather hose off the tank cap and there was your straw ;D
