Is motorcycling allowed?

No ... I think the girls in my day had better taste than that.

 

Nothing sounds as painful as a 50cc without an exhaust baffle - like a sick mosquito on steroids. The worst thing is that it took so long for the thing to get out of hearing range :whistling:

 

Was amazing how you could identify each and every bike by it's sound. Not just like that's a Gamma or an AR, but specific bikes. (we knew exactly who was bunking school by the sound of the baffle'less 50 disappearing down the road.)

You obviously have no understanding of the female species. Cut/no baffles were better than Spanish fly.

Spanish Fly.  Now there's a word I haven't heard since High School.  Does Spanish Fly actually exist, or does it fall into the same classification as "My RZ50 does 180kph...160km/h."  :ph34r:

 

Hey, speedos were wildly opportunistic those days, and GPS did not exist......

No... They were attracted towards the guys riding 175's or 250's. There ain't no replacement for displacement... :devil:

 

yes, but we always asked the girls, were they more impressed with a bore diameter, or the stroke length?   Cue much blushing and giggling.  Apart from one girl who mentioned revs per minute....

I seemed to recall she had an older boyfriend with an RM250.....

Don't know, never needed the stuff having cut baffles.

I just want to say I only owned a little 125cc and on that little bike I lifted the school medic around on for a while (was the best lady in the school to be lifting around I recon :P) ... and we met on the rugby field, with my head cut open after going into a loose ruck ........

Did that stuff ever do anything ... had no experience, or did not know anyone with any experience with it ... but in hindsight it seems like something that would now be advertised on the sides of lamp posts.

Have you looked at lamp post lately? You can buy a love spell or even business success at every post and bridge.

Rear Linkage for the XR? 

 

(and now we have your home address) 

oops. Not my address, though. Still... Thanks for the heads up. 

 

And yeah, linkage for the XR. Swingarm that I have doesn't have one, and this looks like it's in excellent condition, with new bushings etc. 

 

Now just to coat the frame, and get a carb, then complete the wiring for the brake light switch and indicators. Hopefully that's all I'll need to get her built up properly. 

 

Will def need new tyres though. Ones I have are shot.
