G'day viewers I was going through some old photos & found this, it's a tip find GT80 this was about 17years ago. My son Tom was about 8 at the time so this was to be his entrey into the world of dirt bikes lol

After more scavanging from the tip over a 6 month period we found a postie frontend, handlebars, rear nobby tyre & front & back mudguards. We moved the shock mounts forward on the swing arm & cut down a TS125 seat base & had it recovered. Tom had a lot of fun learning about dirt bikes & I created some great memories with him. Jimson

Good to see a young bloke interested in old bikes and not just riding them. My youngin wouldnt know what a spark plug was let alone what it did.he does know all the buttons on a play station though so that beats me.

G'day Pokey & yes I kinda pushed him a bit but once he was riding he was keen. This is the poor bugger here I forced him to wear old school gear so the bike didn't look out of place lol. Jimson
