What's happened to all the real bikes???

But your right though Marc , there are some bargains out there , Mate collected a super original YZ 250A right here in good old NZ just yesterday 

Hmm did it used to belong to a very fast plumber formerly from Hawera. If its the same bike I believe there is about a 6 grand difference in the price tag between that one and mine....but you are right very original and worth whatever he paid.

Not for me mate  honesty i have ridden a couple and i wouldn't swap my 74 KX for one .
Im always skint  but happy  my days of buying bikes just because  are behind me . Theres still a lot of the world i wouldn't mind seeing and buying more bikes aint gonna make that happen 

I will probably get rid of a number over the next couple of years , either complete or as parts so i if imention buying anymore feel free to step in

Bill,let me guess was it a certain builder from Mt Wellington with a big guard dog who sold it to well known painter from WangaVegas???
Looks like the Mosque is getting filled up....

Did your family have an 'intervention' Bill, the counciling is really working . I think you should sell me the 74/78 KX as part of your treatment.

Hey heres a real bike, as a former ATK owner I don't mind a good Can am, just I like them with side covers.... $900 looks good buying.

Fark I hope someone doesn't start knocking out leading-link front ends. Every RM n on the grid'll be wearing one and we'll be told "Stiff shit. This is how we want people to think it was" (because Rog did three laps on an RN with one on in 1979.....)

Fark you are channeling my very thoughts, latest from Hectors racing, i was going to fit crappy old UDX60 forks to my RM500 but reckon these will give much smoother ride.

In '99 I sold up most of my bikes to finance a 6 month road trip around the U.S.  Got peanuts for most of them compared to today's prices. $600 for a MK7 370 Pursang, $700 for a mint running '75 Elsinore Aaarrrgggg.

I'll give $800 for it.

I had a VMX bloke at Gatton tell me I'll never get $700 for the Elsinore because it wasn't pre 75 elligible.  I told him for $700 there was a lot of parts to keep a '74 on the track. I ended up selling it to some bloke who wanted to chase his kid around the paddock on his mini bike.  It was that clean it still had the warning stickers on the tank.
