Very nice, dedicated to the cause, have you restored them all or got minters and stored them?? Nice to see you've got the matching wheelie bins to go with them Very Happy

Thanks for the comment. I have stripped and rebuilt every AR125 I own, restoring them as I go along. I have another five to go at with four of these being the more uber rare A models ... Some parts have taken me ten years to find. The Black one is the only one I bought new in 1989, sold it and bought it back ten years later after it had been crashed a number of times - now its one of the best I have.

Erm.. yes... I guess that makes me a tad dedicated Rolling Eyes

As for the bins... The wifey tells me to empty them ... That keeps me in my place. Oh and if I didn't paint the house number on there, the local scallywags nick them Surprised) Very Happy

It even has the right characteristics for a good KR...




Oh and my AR after it had tried to knock you off on the country lane from Matlock Joker

I didn't take it personally. To be honest, I know who put it together, so I should have been well prepared for it slowly self-destructing in front of me... Taunt

Hi TS

Those bikes are stunning!
The first one pictured, the black one, what model is that? I have one exactly the same, red seat , red wheels etc, I'm planning on getting it into top condition, it's very clean as it is but need a few things to make it a class act.
Stunning collection.

The black red one is a B7
Thanks for your comments

May I suggest you start a thread for your bike and if you list the parts your looking for you may get lucky. Good following of AR lovers on here and they all try to help were they can Smile
