His other items are reasonably" high tech "too. The car is a "unique" limo. :)

That old road bike is a trail bike - yes a crap trail bike but a trail bike none the less. Approx 1970 vintage 100cc Kawasaki by the looks and with the wrong seat.

is this the trailie you mean? if so then it is most definately a dirt tracker! drum brakes too!! just check the front tyre, a dead giveaway! :D it's a KH100A and it's a roady.

The other he has listed is a KV100 and it is a genuine vintage blowfly class candidate (in all probability would give the TS90/100 Honcho's a good run for their money ;))

The 'deathtrap' in question is what it is :-\ ummmm... looks like an RM125Z floater rear end, RM125Z front forks and wheels fitted to a KL250 frame which is fitted with a Z250 motor. As much as I like bitsa's this one hurts my eyes :D

Joe you say it's a 1960s vulva???? or something similar.... The engine in the "deathtrap" is a KV250 Agricultural model Kwaka believe me they are even deader than the trail bike donk ;)

I've never heard of a KV250 Tim but you being the man on the land would have a little more knowledge in this regard ;) I was under the impression a Kawasaki eng. number starting with KZ was always going to be a Z model roady of some description. Z250A or a Z250C maybe. KL250 AG I've seen but again these engine numbers are like other KL250's in so much as they start with the prefix KL250. Not to worry as I'm not at all interested in the bike but agree'd, she'd be a slug :D

yeah odd numbers on some of the Kl250s Doc. basically the same engine cept for lekky start and the bloody head and cams, early ones had points and some were painted black. all slugs though.

The car is a rare as rocking horse shit 600cc Lloyd Alexander. They were made in Australia by a bloke named, Lawrence Hartnett.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Hartnett
I'll leave identifying that red bike to you experts but I do reckon it looks like an American hillclimber with that swingarm. Just add a paddle tyre and find a big sandhill. The only problem is that the KL engine wouldn't have the power to pull the beanie off your mates head.
The little white bike is indeed a KH100. It's rare to find one that's escaped being turned into a bucket racer. Like Doc said, the KV 100 he's also listed a great little bike with a strong engine that would indeed make a good blowfly racer.

Not a very germanic sounding nomeclature but it is a Lloyd. Small German manufacturer. 400CC aircooled 4 poke. Was also an English brand of the same name but was a totally different company.
