Thanks Tim  I swore and declared I wasn't buying anymore  but I couldn't help myself

I know you kiwis are supposed to love your sheep, but I didn't realise you had barns with humidity controlled aircon!

[TM BILL]

  I will change the heading

Very nice Bill. You did well to break your promise. Nicest model they ever did in my humble opinion. J

So less than 2 weeks after meeting Teddy for the first time, all the back slapping, secret handshakes, bullshitting about the greatest pre78 bike ever made [the humble RM125B] and you go and buy a Yamaha YZ125D......what the!!!!!....is Liam riding the Yammie at the Johnny Old now?....Ted will be crying in his Tui....nice bike you got there homo....where was that one hiding?

[John Orchard]

Wow!  I cannot believe that a bike so old can be in such great original condition, what blows-me-out even more is that you found the thing?! ...... how?

[TM BILL]

Joan I had to get the Yamaha out of circulation, just in case some poor sod bought it instead of an RM 125B and got disillusioned and left the sport forever , that's just the sort of bloke I am

It looks very familiar  good buy Bill. You won't find another one like that.

John I had known about the bike for about 10 yrs , it came from Japan ( I know they all came from Japan ) but I mean 10 yrs ago . It was on display at the local Yamaha dealer and when the shop changed hands the previous owner put it in storage and moved out your way . He called me this morning and said he was back here tiding up loose ends and was I interested in the bike. I said I will have to think about it ! then I thought about it for 2.1 seconds and said ok 
So a deal was struck and now its in my shed, don't know what to do with it though, too nice to ride although original 37 yrs have taken there toll on the finish .

I will take it home and stick it in the lounge for a bit as I spent the money for redoing the lounge on buying it so it only seems fair

Its big Cousin has been here for a while 





But he has seen a bit more action over the last 37 yrs inc a DT 360 motor transplant
