I wish I'd never sold my...

[Jimmy]

My 1967 XR Falcon.  100% original 289 V8.  I put a twin system on it and then, curse myself, removed the lovely original bench seat and installed two XD Falcon bucket seats. Sacrilege!  It went really well and looked great in white.  Sold it for very little, before they became worth money.  Best vehicle I've ever sold was my 1982 Range Rover.  I celebrated for days!  I sold that for three times more than the XR Falcon.  Now I could buy 20 RR's for one XR..

The bike I regret selling was my 1988 KDX200.  I bought it new (the only bike I bought new) and I loved it.  I should never have sold it and I wish I had it now.  I sold it after going for a ride at Stockton beach on a mates YZ250.  Never liked the YZ (as an enduro bike).  Damn.

And the wife regrets me buying and selling most vehicles, and far too often.  And has never forgiven me for selling the Subaru Forrester we had from new, and then buying an Alfa 156.  Silliest car I've ever owned, and I've owned a Triumph Herald!

An "FX" Holden.

If we're talking cars, then I wish I'd never sold my Series 4 Mazda RX-2. Probably THE rarest of the old Mazdas in this country.

Ex Jeff Leisk 84CR500 RE. sold it in 1986 to a kid from Brisbane for I think $1500. As soon as he wheeled it out the door I knew I had done the wrong thing. Also my 85 CR500 RF. I rode that in everything mx,dirt track,long track,desert racing, road racing all with just a change of wheels & gearing

My SLR 5000, it could tow a bike trailer with 2 bikes quite comfortably at 180 Kph

My KX 250 A3, sold for $50.00 as it had blown windings in the ignition, new ignition at the time was around $300.00 plus, much more than what the bike was worth at the time.

KX 250 A4, swapped it for an old road bike that I never used. Couldn't give it away at the time, was lucky to unload it before it became worth even less

My 86 KDX 200 & 87 KX 125
Should have put the 200 motor in the KX frame for 88.
Still think about doing it now.

My green Acerbis headlight & KDX rear guard, stored them for 19 years, e-bayed them after a shed clean up.
18 months later I aquire a KDX, missing headlight & rear guard. Doh
I would be hopeless trying to predict the stock market.

My Husky 360 Auto back in 1977, My 490 Maico in 1983 and the 250 square barrel Maico that was resold recently for 4 times what I sold it for. For road bikes I shouldn't have sold my Yoshi equipped Kawasaki Z1R mK1 to the dipshit that wrecked it within a week of buying it. As far as cars go I still regret selling my ex Apendix J road racer turned road car turned drag car FJ but I'm glad it's still living in good hands in Mackay NQ.

BELOW...Me and my beloved beige FJ with my mate Bill and his 48/215 (a genuine 48 model) at his grandmas South Coast holiday house circa 1971. That was the first time we ever took our girlfriends away for a whole weekend sleepover and I remember every moment. Funny that

  Silliest car I've ever owned, and I've owned a Triumph Herald!

Triumph Herald I had one of those it was my first car I sold it a few weeks ago.

The one thing I will say in it's defence is that from the top of dandenongs to the bottom not even a hot holden/Ford could keep as they had to brake on the corners. :-)

I could own the 79CR360 Mugen Fox bike, I purchased from Mike Downey two years ago.
Bike has since been restored, I raced it for one Viper season.
Mainly just like to look at it.

I did a beautiful resto on a DT2 in about 1977 and I thought it was a bit boring compared with my other bikes at the time so I sold it quite cheap ($300) to a mate who wanted a bike to ride to work. I would have sold it for lots more if it hadn't been my mate. He didn't think much of it either and 2 weeks later sold it for $800 before I even knew he was thinking of selling it. I now sell things for what they are worth (to mates or strangers).

No 2
FIAT 124 sedan rally car I sold in 1988 for $1500 when moving to Townsville. The logic was I was going to be driving a company car up there and I had two other cars already. I did like it a lot, but the 124 didn't have A/C (duh) so it went to some loony who blew it up within 2 weeks of getting it and he then just left it in the street with expired rego (still in my name). The Main Roads dept got up me for "dumping" it and I later realised it was way better fun to drive than any car I have had since.

Pigmy that would be my old 360 Mugen, i sold it to Mike a few years ago. Do you still ride it? Is it still painted in Fox colours?

[E74]

I wish I had never sold my 1994 Husaberg , but I was fortunate enough to buy it back!, still bewildered by my good fortune!, Thanx Bahnsy

JohnnyO, I do race the bike in Viper series, find the bike a bit of a handful.
Lee Hogan former pro racer loaned the bike for a photo shoot and article on vintage mx, featured in
dirt action magazine about a 18 months ago.
Will send you article if i can find it, he rates the engine highly, suspension poor.
The bike needs fox colors added to tank to complete.
I remember when Mike first got the bike and how good a condition it was in.
I also imported  my RA125 from the USA, it was ridden by Brian Myerscough in the the US nationals.
