Some nice bikes here.
Certainly not really collectible but special to me nonetheless:

I have sold it to a pal of mine. The 54 Tiger 110 went to Dubai.

Ahhhhh, I have a '57 Tiger 110 in my garage. Restored by my late father. Is the only one of his bikes that I kept as when, as a youngster racing MX, we would be in the workshop together - he working on this restoration project, and me on my MX bikes. good memories of relationship forging with my Hero!!

VMX looks like serious fun ! How old must a bike be ?

My 1919 Harley 1000cc v-twin. Best dual sport bike for 1919 with a massive 8.5hp, hardtail, rear brake only, 3speed handshift & foot clutch. $370 brand new back then.

The original Tenere, I believe the '83 had different chain adjusters to the '84 ? See you have the toolkit which is quite rare.

Clive Davidson · « **Reply #56 on:** July 18, 2019, 04:37:04 pm »

Yep the 83 had the chain adjuster on the inside of the swingarm (34l) but I think it changed in 85 with the 55w model to outside. The tool boxes are rarer than rocking horse poo
