First Bike I had on the road.

Used it for an offroad bike before i was old enough to ride it on the roads.

Fully stripped it down to even nut and bolt and re-newed all major parts and got frame/swinging arm shotblasted and painted.

Fully re-sprayed the tank, mudguards and custom fairing in purple and yellow spikes.

New shocks and seat cover. Custom back lights and cut down mudgaurd.

Re-bored to 80cc with K&N and sports exhaust.

Pulled about 60mph flat out and felt like it was going to fall to bits.

Was very good on petrol used to do about 100mpg! £5 a week used to get me to work and back for a week (20 mile round trip)

Lovely little bike. Looked bigger than it was.

Had it for a year then sold it and got a car! :oops:

Back on bikes as well though through racing and recently got a TZR.

Wicked mate!

TS50ER - i did the same - rebuilt it n stuff - good fun - never got round to the cosmetics before it was written off lol!

Mine used to do loads to the gallon - i think i filled it up twice which cost me about £3.50 for a full tank - did about 250 miles in a week on £7!!!!!

madness!

good fun tho!

Bigger pics are in the bike pics section but they take longer to view. Well worth the wait though!! :lol:
