Hoony, the 50 then Nathan's 125 basket case - when I say basket case it was exactly that.  Came as a frame a 2 beer cartons worth of stuff.
The 465 actually goes, so I don't want to pull it apart just yet ;D

I don't have them all in the one place, but here are some I took the other day

This is the 125  ;D ;D as delivered by Nathan (thanks mate)


and here are some of the others - the 465 just happened to be in the background


The 50 motor is about to go back together.  The manual says NOT to pull the crank into the case with the screws, so I am thinking about making an installer tool.

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

Well it has been a loooooong time ::) - (4 years since I bought the project), but I think I can finally say I have finished.  Added XYZ tank today and billet Brake stay.

Now you can all get off my case  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

From this


to This






Now to finish the 50 and crack into the 125  ::)

Rode it at CD7 (after I sorted out the gear lever so I could get to second gear  ::)  )  Definitely a rider ;)

No such thing as free riding in VMX Alison ;D ;D - it could be a lot worse though, I think our sport is relatively cheap.  The Free ride days sound right up my Alley - especially since I haven't even started a bike since CD7  :o :o :o :o

Probably need to get me some riding practice in  ::)  Ran into another forum member from WA today.  Another great guy.   Looking forward to having a ride with you all.

Sadly no frogman.  Still got 125H x 2, 60H, 80H and 100H to go, by then the 465 will need a touch up.  Actually haven't found the 100H yet.
The 465 is basically the same in nearly every aspect, so shouldn't be too many dramas  ;)
Took me a long time to get all my tools etc together.  The 50 went really quickly (for me) and hopefully the others will be the same.  After that comes the YZ250C, then the 125 J.  Have to get these all done as the missus says no more bikes until I have resto'd all the projects I have - can't understand why.  I think it's like saving puppies from the pound - you just want to save them all  ;D ;D

Have to get my finger out as I'd really like a KX500 or an 84 CR500  ;D and a TT500C and ..................  :D

Ahhh, the elusive YZ100H, you dont see many of those around. I saved a badly neglected Little 100G from the wreckers or dump and was rewarded with a bike that goes like the clappers, unfortunately I nipped up the bottom end not long before xmas. So I guess it will just need .......................a full blown out of control resto, or a new rod. ;D Keep the pics a comin anyways mate. I think I might do something different with the 465, like take a photo before so as I will have a comparison for when its done.

yeah Froggy, I think that is the best tip I can give any restorer is to take heaps of before photos - even when you restore a part.
Good luck on the 465 mate, they truly are an awesome bike - so much fun.  If you are going to go black rims give me a call and we can swap.  I hate the ones on mine.

Not actually sure about a TT500H ??  I remember as a young bloke watching guys ride new versions of the TT's down the beach of Fraser island in QLD and thinking how awesome they were.  There were fishtails as far as you could see  8)

I wonder when they stopped making the TT500 ?
