My new "Toy"
« on: October 12, 2007, 04:50:50 am »
have wanted one of these for ages and was chasing this one in particular for about 3 1/2 years.  End of season now so will just tidy up and get ready for 08 - cant wait.

360B - at the moment giving the motor a refresh but basically everything looks good.  Was restored in NZ - missed out of buying it by 3 days to a guy here in Perth (bugger) but eventually wore him down into selling it to me.  Comes with a spare shock which has me a bit confused though as it has an air canister in palce of the spring which mounts under the tank - any thoughts???

It was time to get serious in trying to buy something bigger as my young fella has started VMX now so there goes my 250 Honda.

Will see how it goes when back together.

I would have to go back and do a check as I ended up not bringing it in but the other guy here in Perth.  If I remember correctly (one of the problems of old age - old timers disease) his name was Craig??

They are one of my most favourite bikes. I would like a 360 but I dont think I would be able to start one with my stuffed ankle, but I would love to have a YZ250B. I am in the process of building a YZ125B.

A lowered monoshocked YZ125 with a YZ125A tank and straps and a shortened seat, modified frame, YZ-A sidecovers, etc etc.
The tank and frame have had extensive work so far and so has the seat, but it is coming together slowly, but I am not sure what colour I should paint it yet,(yellow or white).

friend of mine has a set of 360 plastics in the US yellow that were sent over by mistake - if I can lay my hands on a second hand tank (there are a few around) I may change it to the US yellow for next year.
