Like everyone else who is on this Forum, I LOVE ( much to the missus whinging "haven't you got enough already") MOTORBIKES. Started in 1973 on a Honda XR75 and never looked back. Love all styles of riding and I currently am restoring an IT250K, IT250L, MT250 73, MT250 76, 2 TY175's and a DT175C. Problem is I fiddlearse between all of them and little bits get done at a time. I tell the missus that this hobby is better than me wasting the dollars on gambling, alcohol, cigarettes and other women so she tolerates it with the odd bit of whinging to make her day.
So at present I have an IT250K, IT250L, MT250 73, MT250 74, MT250 76, TY175C X2, TY175JC, TY175F, DT175C, DT175G, XL250SB and a TOY XR600 1999 model
Best bikes I spose I owned were an XT500F fully worked (best wheelstander I ever had!) and a DT175C that I absolutely flogged to death doing trials motocross enduro and it never ever let me down. Hence the doing up another DT175C as a momento to a great little bike.
Try this for a laugh at night. Just before you go to sleep, tell her that you love her and that you are sorry. She will probably go huh? what are you talking about? and you explain that you have said the necessary mandatory I love you that she wants to hear from you each day and that you are also sorry for all the bad things you did today especially buying that new/old bike part.
This is a great forum. When time permits I hope to contribute more.
