Hey guys... New member from Sydney
« on: February 01, 2011, 10:36:42 am »
G'day all. I have been a member of OZVMX for some time, but recently found the FORUM (?) ... Don't ask.....

Anyway... I have been riding/racing bikes for 35 years, and have dabbled a little in resto's.

My pride and joy is my late fathers' old 1972 XL250 Motosport, as pictured below. I have posted a before, and after shot... It was a labour of love !!

I have a real nice '85 CR250 RF (useless in the PRE-85 classes!  grrr....) which I restored (pictured below) and have recently started building a 1983 KX250 C1 (gotta LOVE those bikes!!  and that "turtle-head" looking rear fender!) ..


I need bits for the 83 KX250, so if anyone has anything lying around then please let me know!!   :)

Anyway... I plan on heading to CD8 this year and hopefully the C1 will be there.

Ciao !
-Hardo

BEFORE.....  :o

Hey Hardo,
they are all very impressive well done. My favourite (of all things) is the XL250 as an apprentice I sold them when they were new and also had one on the road as well.

Regards Stan.

My latest build... The 83 C1.

Finally finished after 12 months of getting parts. (started with just a bare frame!!) .

I certainly don't recommend building a bike this way...   :o

CD8 ready !  ;D

Next project will be a 1980 KX125 A6 ... or an '81 A7 ... still not really sure what I have!!  :-\
