yea, Dodgee has 2 absolute stunners and here's a pic of one, the picture was taken a few years back at the oz titles at Coffs but the bike these days looks similar or maybe even a little better!
I couldn't come to grips with it but then a young guy by the name of Adrian McIntyre hopped on and proceeded to blitz near everything of all capacities in the 'All In' race at the end of the meeting. It is bloody fast in the right hands but sadly I just don't have the skills or energy required to get the best out of an RM125S.
I be building another TM hybrid similar to the bike below after CD6 but not sure which way to go with it yet. It may well be RM125S powered also
My '71 TS125R also has the S motor at present. I do love the engines but as I said, the rest of the package just doesn't do it for me even though they were probably the closest thing to a factoy bike you could buy. This could be because I'm not really an out and out racer but more a lazy social rider who prefers to ride at about 75%
Mainline no not really except for the tank stickers. I like the plain ol' '75 TM graphics so I normally run them on all my TM/RM125's. Life started with a bare frame (usually a donated John West reject
) I believe it's Donny at Coff's who supplied this frame. I think it was a '73. I found a '75 swingarm, TS185 solid mount rear hub, RM100A front forks, RM125S front wheel, the S motor came from CQ and the rest came from here and there mostly from ebay and like minded friends.
Sorry for the rambling and topic deviation, I'd never ever owned a 125 until about 2007. My first ever ride on a TM125 and an RM125S was the Coff's titles 2007 but after that meet I was totally hooked on these little screamers. They are fun units in all shapes and form be it TM/TS/RM, think I have about 6 already that fit in with the pre'75/'78 era but always looking to build more
