I unfortunately also couldn’t get a bike till I was old enough to buy it and get it around myself, so at 18 I got the old XL250, think it was a ’76 model, steel tank, real low to the ground, heavy as all hell.
What a weapon :laugh:
Never really rode much till a mate joined oyster bay mcc and I progressed to a XR 200, then XR 250.
I raced (more like struggled to finish) with them for a while.
Once I bought a house the racing/struggling stopped and for around 15 years its was once or twice a year weekend away until I could afford to go more often.

Now its – get outta my way I’m going trail riding / struggling :cheer: once or twice a month between taking the kids to our property for a ride.

Older kid is hot and cold, middle one is always keen but a bit of a struggler too
Little fella (4) just loves being doubled around all day, cant get him off the bike or quad!!

I am over the doubling stage luckily as my youngest once nearly took us both out with a reverse headbutt to the face,him with a helmet me without as he was sitting in front of me.Little buggar had a hissy fit and threw himself backwards cause I didn’t go down the trail he wanted to :laugh:

Wish I had gone to Tee n Cee when I first got the Tenere.

Got a couple of filthy big scratches on the tank :pinch:

Might be an idea for a cover up looks great Trailraider really unique

When you do get some could I please have some as when I had the Teknic treatment I didn’t get any as you had runout. :pinch:
I do think the decals do look good on the bikes

As to which look the best Ill leave that up to the rest of the crew :unsure:

Wasn’t exactly sure where to put this post but seeing as I left with a couple of decals thought this is as good as anywhere. :blink:
Took my bike out to Nick today and just wanted to thank him once again for helping me and taking the time out of his day to point me in the right direction oh and you to TB I realise you were very busy with work today :laugh: :laugh:

Got my first bike when I was 10 years old, Nagged the old man for a year & convinced him that I needed it for irrigation duties on the farm 😆 Yamaha MX 80 :laugh: The only two stroke I have ever owned.
The 1982 XR250 RE Twin Carb still has my favorite memories on the farm. The deal was if you could start it you were allowed to ride it 👿 Needless to say no one got to ride it

Faaaark I’m Old :blink:

Dare say whatever it was that your family farm produced Tryhard was over watered by you and the little MX 80, Thanks for sharing a bit of your bike history

[jim cadyMember]

Can always unpack and re pack ACE :laugh:

Looks tough and not to be taken lightly :unsure: like you say

Will watch this space,seems like your keen to tick it off your list

Not talking about anyone in particular EAGS,just the site as a whole there is obviously years of experience out there and was just curious as to who has been riding for as long as they can remember.

By the sounds of things your storys not to unlike mine mate although I will give you the benefit of the doubt and discount the midlife crisis 😆

Just wish I had that instinctive feel for it,developed over years and years from a young age.

Least your allowed to buy the bags to begin with Lefty :pinch:

And not have to perform a covert TOP SECRET operation

Enjoy the bags they look trick

Adv Moto has sent you to good place.

I myself am new to it and am at the tail end of the L and P plate thing thank %$@# :laugh:

Went on my first adv ride with this lot in Feb and although a real eye opener and steep learning curve had an absolute ball :woohoo:

Cant wait till the next one in June you should try and make it ,there well worth it

In regard to the GPS,if your eyes are anything like mine,get the biggest screen you can.I cant read mine very well when riding making it basically useless

Hi Isambard,
If you would like to tag along to the Lefty School of getting lost on an ADV ride you are more than welcome to come with James and myself on this one. (Oops!! I forgot to ask James :huh: Is that ok James? :dry: ) And maybe one other rider can join us? Wigster…. Have you got a riding Buddy? You are more than welcome to join us for an Awesome Foursome!!
Just a thought if you are all interested. :blink:
It will be just a nice steady pace and no pressure at all.

Cheers,
The left One

More the merrier as far as Im concerned Lefty,

Gives me more options to follow :blink: 😆
