Some may know me off the RD-forum. But for those of you who don't my names Sean, live in Bedfordshire, and have got the bug. First road bike i brought was nearly 3 years ago now. 1988 RD50mxII. It had been stood for 5 odd years in a garden and was trashed to say the least.

Ebay listing picture

Now









The other toy is a TZR125, well built from 2 of them. Fully restored but ridden every day on the 30 mile ride to work. Covered 4000 miles on it in 3 months.





1992 TZR125




Mine and my Dads, strokers



June 26th 2009 i was taken out by a "sorry i didn't see you"
TZR125 Lost the fight with an Astra



How the TZR's looking now










The new project


Hope you like the pics

Hiya Ben, havent touched the bikes in a couple of weeks, ive got glandular fever at the minute so im bed ridden for the next few days and have then got to "take it easy" for the next 6 weeks. Managed to drag myself to the stafford show where i got some KR1S forks for it aswell as some other goodies. Just trying to collect what i can at the minute. Hows the wolf?
