Picked this up the other day - same as my other one but a proper EXC rather than an SX looking like an EXC. Even has a V5 with it!

 

It had been on ebay a while and slowly dropping in price and it was sort of on the way back whn we were out the other day with the trailer on. It wouldn't start when we saw it so haggled fairly hard and was happy enough. Tried starting it the following day and it went after about 4 kicks!

 

Plan is to strip it this winter whilst still riding the other, and make a really nice EXC out of the pair and use what's left to either make the SX back up and sell or keep as a big pile of spares. Or, if I ever get round to it, shove a 200/250 4 stroke in the other rolling chassis :001_smile:

 

First pic is where I'm aiming for, second one is how I picked it up. Can still get the original graphics and seat cover and have got an original headlight and rear mudguard already.

 

Racing again next weekend up at Helmsley as they've put us a vintage only class on the Saturday.

One idea that's been bounced about is to try and get a bit of an arbtalk meet at an Enduro or Hare and Hound somewhere fairly central for those interested.

 

Anyone any suggestions?

 

 

 

Might be doing first MX in over 15 years in a couple of weekends time - fairly excited but proper bricking it too!

i no there are some bikers on here,,, so share your toys

 

I've got a couple of bikes. An old Kawasaki GPZ500s which has probably spent more time on its side than upright, and a '98 Honda Firestorm.

 

Though someone went into me on a roundabout recently (and drove off!) so I'm on a courtesy bike for the moment - a 1250 Bandit!

Sounds like you had a good time mate, must get myself entered into an endurance comp, I did a nice gentle loop of the Essex Byways yesterday, so no aches for me!

The wheels you posted are on the bike now Eddy, I lowered the gearing a little & the bike is much snappier for it, the front wheel gets a lot less use than the rear!:biggrin:
