    Agreed,
    I suppose we should let this thread get back to wher it was before it turns into “garden tools i have used” 😆

    Been i a while since i sniffed out a farmers shed…playing i spy…the motor bike guy :cheer:
    Anyway,was out near Nundle taking a few photos of a property that i am taking to Auction.Had a little Bow Peep in the work shop to see if there was any old Ag bikes or random farmers bikes to be found ;)
    My heart quickened when i saw a set of handle bars poking out from underneath an old bed sheet in the corner of the shed :unsure:
    They were the weirdest set of handle bars i have ever seen.So i had to take a little look didn’t i ????
    I slowly peeled back the bed sheet…(like i was in the back of a ute, with a passed out drunk sheila,just like the good old days at a B & S ) :woohoo: :P
    Heavens to Mergatroid wtf is that ????
    One evil looking Hog :cheer:

    Who says Farmers only ride posties and Ag Bikes ?
    The Skull on the tank gave me the Heeby Jeebies,so i quickly dressed her again and made an exit…stage left :blush:
    Cool

    That isn’t a motorbike you clown , that is the farmers tractor. Either that or his air compressor.

    I wondered if you were still on the hunt a while ago…
    Glad you are. :cheer:

    Man you should see some of the stuff we come across in my line of work (powerline tree trimmer in CWest NSW). I’ve seen a timber spoked wheel Bentley under a tree in a padock outside, 3X DR750’s (I think thats what they were) at condo, 10 or so Goggomobile looking things in a shed at Parkes, half a dozen EH’s etc etc.

    I have seriously thought about offering the Cocky’s $50-$200 ea for some of their old bit’s and peices. Take it home, pressure clean it and put it up on flea-bay.

    You see alot (I mean ALOT) of useful bikes, cars, trucks just rusting sitting under trees. Big shame.

    Not for highway use, never be afraid to ask a cocky if he’d part with it. and if they say make me an offer.

    make an offer. be it what you can afford at that time or what you’re willing to pay for it, the worst they can do is call you some names.

    then reply like my bro and i do.

    ”well i hate it when someone says make me an offer, cos i offer you $10 and you say it’s worth a lot more by your tone., so tell me what you want for it.”

    the go from there. you may just be surprised you just may crack it for a bargain.

    the worst is they can tell you where to go.

    NFHY, bring camera or take photos with your mobile phone and post here. Do it for the farmer, do it in the name of recycling, do it for your country! When one of us (or someone we know) is interested put us in touch with ‘ol mate, transact and everyone’s happy..

    Not exactly from a farmer’s shed but actually being ridden around by a buck toothed goomer tenant at my in laws property on the weekend.
    Dunno what model Honda it was, but it has been fitted with a 125cc china bike engine,the oil cooler is hanging by a bit of string under the fuel tank and it just flapped about , it had no air filter, the exhaust was held on with tech screws and the thing went like the clappers. It also had areally bizzare handle on the head set I presumed may have been some sort of steering dampner in a former life.

    bol, re the topic of old bikes, i rekon the zuk is a tc 125 with high and low range. we had one up at the farm when growing up. the cousins would come up from sydney and get the purple warrier going and thrash it for a few days then it would die again , get wheeled back into the shed and stay till next time.

    cheers raz.
