The trike is probly the most dangerous of the lot, don't let Willem near it. I had one and all my mates that rode it hit the only tree in the paddock. Should of been on funniest
home videos. The XT250 brings back memories. I rode an '82 from
Cairns to Syd in 3 days, straight route thru Lightning R.
I've upgraded a bit now to the 640LC4 - KTM. The back wheel is still spinning at 160 on dirt.

Triple S (SSS) I meant.. Banrock Stn strikes agian...
We bought it as an ex club car from Nowra in South NSW, was a good old jigger, but as time went on we found more and more about its history.... Rolled x times, bent diffs, then the photos came out... :(
BTW, if Yotas were 1/2 as good as Nissan they would hold their value...

OMG the big fellas sick. Maybe you should start looking for an Oldsmobile rehabilitation centre so that you can him off them. A hard drug addiction would possibly be cheaper!"Live today as if there may be no tomorrow"
