You're a genius Watto. Who'd have thought Dave would sell a keeper? I'm starting to think that the Adler might be living somewhere else too ::).

Dave to make that pic creditable you will have to take a pic of the Adler with yourself and todays paper  ;D

I think your Bantam is a bargain , whats stopping you finishing it though  ??? i can relate as i get so far with projects and loose interest . But that Bantam finished would be a really cool pre 65 ride  :)

Steve/Alison
Shanes tm250 both came out of Southern cross I brought the pair at the same time and on sold them to Shane we go back to working together at Mortlocks in Jolimont
Sold at mates rates way back then Cheap as  ;D    ;D

Thanks Murray, always great to read about another link in the history chain.
Shanes son Jarrad rides mx now and often gets to see the TM in the shed, maybe one day it will be in his. Never know.  :P

With the TM still running and Steven's knee in need of repair, we have asked Asry from the VMXWA club if she would like to ride it at this years Pre78 Nationals, Port August SA.
Asry jumped at the chance, when asked last month.
Her usual rides are heavier four strokes.
While riding today at Dandaloo Classic in the 250ss class and tomorrow in the B & C grades tomorrow, Asry remarked that she loves its lightness and power, with a few more laps it should bring her up too speed for the woman's class top ten if not a podium.....ps another joyous day with 65 riders  :)

Thanks for posting the shot of your rear sprocket guard. I will be taking my TM250 to SA in August and have been scratching my head in regards to a guard set up. Yours is a simple solution. :)

.......rewired the hand grips, repacked the muffler and tomorrow Sunday the sponsored works rider Asry gets too have some more coaching/practise laps.

With four race dates left on the WA calendar/s till the 20 odd Western Australian riders head east for 2014 Australian Classic National Championship. Port August SA.

That's 42 days until the nobbies grip hard pack  :P  :) 

Dropped a chain at last event, due to loose hub. So TM"s back on the bench with a cracked case around the gear stick.....Few late shed nights ahead  :P

New chain.
Bit of paint on side-cases and a tidy up.
