Title: Hi there
Post by: Short Stuff on November 14, 2011, 07:31:24 pm

Hi there!

I'm getting close to completing a resto on a 1979 PE 250 N and some of your members have suggested to get on here to discuss, ask and learn stuff.  So I have!  The plan is to trail ride it and run it in Vinduro events.

I have recently retired as the President of another Trailbike Club (forum) and see a number of names here that are familiar over 'our' way. I'm also registered on another bike forum where I have 'blogged' my bikes progress.  Many/most of those guys are here as well.  Cross-breeding of the types, I like that!

No doubt I will be chasing the same parts and info that other like minded Team Yellow members are, and hopefully someone here will be able to steer me in the right direction.  I hope to have the project back on the trails by Xmas, so in the mean time, I have to rely on my WRF 250 for fun!

Cheers!

Welcome aboard, hope you find plenty of useful info and advice here. I know we have some pretty serious Suzuki tragics amongst the denizens, so I am confident you will! And you can't talk about your PE without the photos!

Thanx Graeme,

Here are a few recent shots of my bike.  The project is now 'finished', and just getting some 'tuning' that's out of my capability.  I'll post some newer shots when I get it back.

Fantastic work Short Stuff. I have a PE175N but it doesn't look anywhere near as good as your 250. I will definitely be keen to check it out more closely at Three Bridges.

Tex,

We met at Ballan last year.  I wasn't riding, but was busy re-building. Look forward to catching up (again) at 3 Bridges.

Cheers.

Unfortunately, after an AMTRA club ride and the Three bridges Vinduro, it doesn't look as 'pretty' as this anymore.  Still, it was never meant to be a show piece!
