R65ers at Lake O' the Pines

Well, I hadn't said anything specifically other than mention that my stepson Doug and I went to the Barber's Vintage Days last weekend.  I had arranged to purchase a '74 Yamaha TY250 trials to knock around in the dirt with.  It's all there and runs just fine, just needs a shampoo set and a curl.  But, and here's where I went over to the Dark Side, I came across this really cool little Triumph TR25W.  Never had played with a trumpet before so I brought it home too.  Haven't taken any snaps yet since I don't have much success posting to the sight.  It's all there too and pretty clean, runs well, but I need to strip it down and clean up all of the electrical connections.  What can I say, I needed a winter project!

Mike said he was planning on "thinning his herd" so he goes out and buys two more motorcycles! Gotta love a guy with that sorta mindset.  [smiley=thumbup.gif] Allow me to save "the collector" the hassle of figuring out his photo post skills...   Monte

The YammerHammer TY250 Trials photo came off the Barber site... this could be MIke's off-roader.



And, OMG! My brother and I shared a Triumph Tiger Cub back in the day. Here's a file photo of a TR250 Turnip similar to Mike's purchase. I'd like to go on record and claim right of first refusal when he wants to "thin" the Triumph. Not likely anytime soon. Nice scores, Bengt. I hate you. [smiley=beer.gif]

Love you too Monte, I know how you must feel.  The trumpet is candy apple red.  You know it might actually make a decent four stroke twin shock trials bike for you....

And yes, I am still thinning the herd - the GS is going up for sale in the not too distant future.  Has your wife been shoe shopping lately?

You talkin' about the Imelda Marcos of Denton, Texas? Yeah, she does dig shoe shopping.

I showed her pics of your scores and she thought ya done good. I need to get that girl on a smaller, off road bike. Good place to learn as the trees don't swerve into your lane.
