Moto

I have a going IT 250 that I bought in 1986..
I found this site good for finding out part numbers

http://www.cmsnl.com/it250k-1983_model8917/partslist/?q=yamaha+it+250

Most of the mechanical parts for these old bikes are still available ex Yamaha .. at a price. However the plastics & other pretty parts are hard to find or get.

Happy B Day Bob , enjoy.. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The BBB ride.
Started on Friday with a small discovery crew..
Great day for a ride when most everyone else is at work

Started aftter lunch and went on a discovery mission , and added to Snowy’s repertoir of trails.

Damos finding the Friday steepness

We espied a likely lookin trail dissappearing into the scrub and investigated- Snowy the explorer

After about 20 minutes lead exhausted – back to the bikes

Damos & Snowy testing new trail to nowhere :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Later that arvo.. we find a snotty bit of uphill – aptly named c!!$t hill. I stopped after pickindg another wrong line which cause a slight chain reaction with Snowy & Damos. :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :laugh: :laugh:

A little trap further on

Saturday sees new starters. Dude,a new Murph, Boony & Charlie5

Snowy takes us on some neat trails, no valley of dooms this weekend.. :huh: :huh: :ohmy: :ohmy:

Charlie5

Dude

We have a little stop, Boony at his best, someone must have mentioned either goats or lambs to get this response..

Murph riding as normal – saving wear on the front tyre

Damos at the same point running a tad wide.

Boonys Kato gets trapped by the RUT monster … :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Dude dons the rain stop equipment..funny it seemed to work..

Some varying degrees of style Charlie5 , Snowy & Murph

The rider debrief round the fire

Sunday we set off for the Eaglehawk track. Nice downhill to the Cells river a crossing then up a rather rutted hill. The first riders made it up the hilll easy ( Damo & Booney ) The rest well here are some shots..

Snowy doing a bit of persuading – Pushing :angry: :unsure: :angry:

This looks better – on a roll

Damo riding Charlie5’s CRF250

Charlie5 tries to fill in Booney on Kakoda.. :huh: :huh: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Booney showing a result of altercation with that lantana on Kakoda.

In a nutshell
Over the 3 days we rode 210 kms of the best trails.
Ate & drank like kings.

A top ride 11 out of 10 – well done Snowy
Happy birthday Boonster..
