Try Gary Koster's - he might know of somewhere - 0732109842

 

 

Gary used to be my neighbour. Very nice fellow, and he'll try his best to help.

Used to work for Droomers.

And before that, he and I worked at Yamaha SA together - he was the Technical Manager - interesting chap, but you won't find someone who knows Yamaha YZ and WR motors better than Gary.....

He got his own shop now in Brackenfell, doing really well.

 

And yes, he is an interesting chap, very knowledgable as far as Yammies go (must be the reason why I like him as much as I do. :whistling:  :D )

Just got back from my mates at Shimwells Yamaha......I reckon there's going to be a big jump this weekend.  I might just get it done in time for the 1000Bikes.

 

Still waiting for some parts from the UK and US though, which is a bit worrying - hope our chaps at the SAPO haven't lost them....

I think that last pic is a 1948 Velocette KTT mk8 - one sold recently at Bonhams for £24600......

 

I don't think he would be jumping it like that if he knew what it would be worth in 2015....

Dual sport for the commute or I can get my mates monster 540...

A dual sport will be more comfortable; cost less to maintain; last longer; and will give you more options on the weekend

 

But the monster is cooler

The monster is so sweet.

Those of you who build bikes will know - you take 3x as long putting it back together as it took to pull it to pieces. The whole day working, and not much to show...
