    Thanks for that Bollocks, they have a weak gear box me mate tells me and they tend to do the odd cog or two in, so he is always looking for spare gear box parts.

    Cheers Mick.

    I would just about kill for an old grey XR75 if anyone sees a reasonable one.

    I know where there is a mint one. They wont part with it though, other wise it would already be in MY shed :laugh: Always wanted one with a Pasani power pipe when I was a kid but the Old Man hated bikes.

    I had one Mick, pisses me orf that we got rid of it for about $200. It was a good bike.
    In the same condition we sold it for it would now be worth $4K+ :angry:

    The Tamworth Old bulls drive past this blokes place every time we head up to Nundle State forest for a ride.He is a horse breaker and is allways on the side of the ride playing with his horses.I have know him for years and we allways wave to him when we drive past.He never knows its me and i often think that he was of the opinion that he didn’t like motorbikes.How wrong i was,farmers sheds…THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE :P

    I would suggest that it is a TY175 as a guess.

    Certainly looks like one.
    The rear guard is not standard and the seat has been recovered but the paint work on the tank is standard for that model :)
    They were a good bike, lite and easy to ride.
    Would make a good farm bike so i can understand why it’s still in use.
    We used a couple of ty250s and RL250s on our farm to chase cattle. :side:

    I am also guessing that the whipper snipper/brush cutter is a Sthil. ;)

    Yeh!
    It could be a stihl but it looks like an aftermarket handle on it 😆

    I bow to a greater knowledge of whipper snippers / brushcutters ;)
    Personally the whole “working in the garden thing” reeks of effort and interfers with riding time :)

    I am with you rebore.

    Normally if I can smell 2 stroke fumes I am having a good time. Not so with the whipper snipper :S
