best pre75 250

[frostype400]

ok thanks for that ill see how i go that sounds like a good idea with the tank and seat but i do like things original but i will definetly keep that in mind if i do find the bike a bit heavy and sluggish thanks JC.

frostype 400 it sounds to me that you would like to compete in pre 75 250 so i was under the impression that you may have a MA licence that`s the reason for the suggestion of a 125 two stroke because at your age you may have to ride (wash my mouth out) a four stoke 250.
it`s great to see a young bloke have ago at classic racing there should be more like you michael.
all the best.

.... i would like to have a go of 125's and 400's for me its not about winning its about having fun and you can have as much fun on a 125 250 or 400 but im not to worried if i am at the back of the pack on a 250 .... i have fun

OMG - a 16 year old with a good attitude!
Excellent!

From here, its simple:
1. Work out whether you're 16 or older (ie: a senior who is actually allowed to race a 250 2-stroke).
2. Go and buy/build whatever you can afford, probably a TS, TM, MX or DT.
3. Use punctuation.

The world is your oyster.

Frosty
For any MA (Motorcycling Australia, and that includes the Victorian arm of MA etc)  sanctioned event across Oz the rules are the same.
If you are under 16 (junior) then its a limit of 125 2 st or 250 4 st (would'nt a methanol 250 4 stroke go)
16 and over is senior so you can ride what you want.
Go the big PE in the Vinduro.
Get a TM250 for the pre 75  
Get an elsinore for a practice bike  
And if you really want to get serious - get your arse on a sidecar  

Cheers Steven

250 2 stroke it is.    Now to find a 1974TM250 in an old farm shed for $50 and I'm laughing. 
Not so sure about sidecar.    Might have to give it a try one day,thanks.
   Wouldn't that be a shame if I bought a 250 and couldn't race it.    Thanks for your help.    Michael.

Nathan S did mention to use punctuation.         
We are all old here

geez give me a break i aint got no learnding ive just finished school but i have to do trade school for plumbing dont worry im sure they will be teaching spelin and punctuasion.

I'm usually a bit dubious of anybody under 25 that would actually want to ride a pre '75 bike but Michael seems to be the exception to the rule. I've pointed him towards a couple of information and parts leads with his 80 and I'm pretty impressed with his attitude and good manners. Now all we have to do is get him to avoid texting in his posts and to use punctuation, full stops, commas and capital letters where required, not smileys (as Nathan has indicated) and support the kid in his future involvement. We need young guys like him to keep the vintage flag flying. Plus we might need him to fix our toilets or change a tap washer down the line!

We'll have to get him together with Jimsons Tom.

Good on ya Frosty, 
Don't worry to much about the spelling,  Just worry about the maths,as then you can charge like a wounded bull,when you finish your trade or run your own business.
catch you later
