What did you buy today ???

[Tony Nitrous]

Some crusher dust to sit the new water tanks on.

Now I need to get an excavator on site.

Not yet, but thinking about adding a TL1000 (either S or R) to the stable.  Ideally one in blue and white, but a slower black one or the lurid canary yellow one might be an option. Am I crazy to entertain this idea?

Probably, but in a good way!              Full speed ahead I say!

I looked at a black TL-S recently. Traditional rear damper fitted.  I've never got on 100% with twins I've had before but there's something about the S that temps me. A bit dated now but still a fun bike.

When I lived SE of  Melbourne, there was a yellow one, TL1000 S I believe, still hear that booming sound as he gassed it up Princess Hwy...

A one owner black S on bike sales at moment, in SthOz. Bloody nice, yoshi cans, reckon it would sound superb.

Not up with it but got bad handling reviews. Widowmaker name mustve had a reason. I guess it couldve been fixed. Ive always wanted one and TRX 850 Yam. No real reason, just looked good.

They had a quite different rear suspension. A rotary vane damper. It working in theory and worked on some roads, but I think the issue was after repeated loads it did something nasty like locking up. The one I rode was fine but I wasn't game to abuse it. Most had now got tradition shocks fitted.

Fitting normal shocks an easy conversion? I read that rotary thing contained bugger all oil, just overheated and stuffed up.

I've seen them with various brands of traditional styled shocks. I don't think it's quite as simple as our 14's but there used to be a few options and many got done.
It certainly wouldn't put me off buying one.

[frenchgixxer]

A welding table, for the princely sum of 100 euro's. Another french bargain I reckon. Size 2m x 0.7m. All metal except for a new 5cm laminated plywood top thats covered with 6mm sheet steel. Quite heavy at about 100kg, took a bit of humping around on me own lol

Thought you owned a Hardley D Tony! - just fit a bucket to it!

Only owned one, and that was a while back. I was glad to see the back of it. Just 4 cylinder Suzuki's here now and probably for the future.
