That makes me feel better ,I didnt think anyone would be brave enough to post up one of those, I will get one of my road king. No micky taking

 

Bob

 

Nothing wrong with a road king, nice comfy bike with character!

[geoff]

Found this in the shed this morning, wee little xr400, think the tyres will have to go!

[Chris Sheppard]

Nice one mate, looks a nice one!

 

Knew you'd like it Geoff

 

it's a 1982 XR 200RC, registered and t&t til late next year. Bloke seemed a nice guy and had owned it since 1983, rode a few events each year up until a few years ago and then when he retired he went right through it and never used it hardly since.

 

All being well it's going to take me to a top three class finish in the Clubman B class next year in the Northern Vinduro Series (I can but hope!).

 

Bit of an eventful trip out to pick it up though - had a track rod end pull out of the steering bar on the 90 coming off a roundabout near Oswestry. That wasn't pleasant!

Hadn't used mine for a while so dusted it off, new battery and been out chasing deers ...I mean surveying trees haha. Just ordered some tyres as it keeps trying to throw me off on wet grass

Cool

 

Here's mine in daylight.

 

Just had a quick blat up the lane on it and it's surprisingly lively, can pop the front wheel in third

Looking tidy Chris.

 

Is the xr basically the 4 stroke version of a cr?

[Chris Sheppard]

Ta,

 

Sort of. The XR's were marketed as Enduro bikes but the CR's were MX bikes, and then to confuse things there were the XL's too, which were pretty much a trail version of the XR's.

Firstly Matty that bike mad a s a box of badgers, you need to get a video of it running!

Geof very nice, Armchair that's a cracking looking bike and last but not least Chris, that bike is beautiful, it took me back to my childhood instantly!!

I remember going round the bike shops with my dad while my mum was shopping!

That's minted! Well done:thumbup1:

[Chris Sheppard]

Cheers Stevie,

 

Old bikes are where it's at

 

That's the thing with the Vinduro stuff, it's like being a kid again riding the same sort of stuff we used to (but in a lot better condition - mostly).

 

The little XR's the same age as me

 

Taking it racing on the 27th - was originally entered on the KTM but things kinda snowballed
