Hey Rat, probably too late for me I need to be back at work by the 3rd Jan, am coming up that way to visit a mate for a couple of days between christmas and new year.

Must have been on the 125’s then, the first watercooled 80 was the J, my mate had the J and I had the K (radiator on the side) and now I have an S if I ever get time to put it back together.
Scotty Your opinions are well valued!!! I pretty much already decided the prado but thought i’d do a bit more poking around on the territory it’s cheaper!
Chris.
That 465 would be an absolute weapon!
Very Nice, I didn’t think the YZ’s were watercooled until the J model, did he mod it.
Diddel I’ll supply the pipe guard, I’m not worried as I’ll win the 100k on funniest home videos :laugh: :laugh:
Chris.
I’m in

MMM when was the last time we rode together!
Definately will whanny, I’m finding that as I get better obstacles on the trail are much easier to overcome, logs, holes etc become very easy to get over, basically I go down a gear and pull the clutch rev the F out of it drop the clutch whilst pulling up on the bars and pushing your weight towards the back of the bike… Practice Practice Practice… Do as I say not as I do
Thats insane!! Great Pics, obviously before digital.

Prado is not as thirsty as the territory.I used to have a turbo diesel and my wife drives a territory.Typical ford plastics break easy on all the gadget things inside. Allthough over long distance drives i reckon the ford is heaps better like when your on the freeway etc alot smoother on the road.Prado is alot tougher in the bush.If your gonna be a towny go the ford…if you are going to belt it in the bush…go the prado.Bol :woohoo:
Cheers Bol, it will be mostly town but also to tow the bikes/trailer, also want to start getting out in the bush more as the kids are getting a bit older now.
Chris.
Don;t lie eags, I’ve seen you pull some doozies, it’s just you got it back to front.
CHris.
A slight long up hill is a good start, the best wheely I ever did was on the nundle ride, (in a paddock going up hill) I’m no expert but getting better, the KATA 400 makes it easier than the 250 but I’m still practicing. Some guys make it look so easy.
Cheers
Chris.hope it fits.
