Airhead gathering was last weekend. What an awesome bunch of people! Made a youtube short of a slight incident I had with a gate post!

Looks good Andy, I'd like to hear that flat twin through those stubby exhausts. Do you still have the original instrument cluster? I need to get hold of a R65 dash and instruments for my R80ST.

Mr K.C. Sandrock of Fourways, Sandton is the name recorded in the owner's manual. He first registered the motorcycle in June 1984. I really enjoy the R80ST. It feels quite small under me after riding my G/S special. Recently replaced the coil and it's super smooth! The original exhaust had...

Correct me if I am wrong but is the R65 dash not identical?

Thanks DD, I don't have your keen eye. The triangular gusset on top behind the steering tube? Hopefully it will be OK, time will tell. I loved your build thread back in 2013 such beautiful photography. Are you still in Middleburg EC? Link to DD's HPN thread for those who are curious...

Sweet

Putting a bit of mileage on my G/S. The 1070cc Siebenrock mill is simply amazing! My thanks to my friend Volker of VS Racing.

Sunday ride with Volker to Marina Martinique, J Bay, I think four of these are his.

Bluetiful!

Seriously solid looking bench, I love that wood! That black rubber would drive me nuts though. I like lots of light where I work. Gray or white surfaces for me. Not sure how you achieve that and still have that nice tough layer.

Thank you for that advice. I really appreciate it. You don't think the mileage and general condition will make for a bit of a money pit?

Thanks guys. The DT looks like a ery nice motorcycle. I see 175cc max on gumtree unless you consider the very old DT250. https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-motorcycles-scooters/howick/2007-yamaha-dt-175/1002201265780910875430809 I'm hoping one of the PE guys will chime in with something. Local will...

That looks amazing. You should post pics of that on the the other forum. Adv Rider. Share your art with the world. Seriously well done! Pity it can't be sold as a vinyl set.

Thanks guys, she is a toughie. I took her stitches out today and she's getting around a lot quicker. Still looking for a small DS, hoping to get something bigger than a 125cc this time around. How realistic is my budget though?

Adventure rims are silver-blue anodized. Can't help you there.
