I know what you guys mean about the shipping but I did message custonchainsawparts and he cut the shipping back for me by two thirds on some name tags I wanted so it is worth asking.

I'm loving these photos of vintage motocross bikes, one day I'll restore a xr250 twin shock metal tank like I had when I was 16.
You go fast mob

the bushnell scope 1st day was not quite the success, I wos made RO so only got a few shots in before duty called and had mounted it poorly so ma eye relief all wrong. The glass clarity is Ok for 250 bucks and target turrets nice touch... I'll work it over should be better next time....still a gap in the que allowed a rushed round getting me a 55 with 2 supers from the Ruger No1 over 300 yards

Looks like ya missed the blackboard altogether mate.....
The TL 125 shares the same motor as the CT 125, it's the XL125 motor with lower first and second gears.
keen for 2 stroke speed a TY 250 was my next ride
look at me go
look at me go
Ok, last bike pic........The bike that started it all for Honda in moto cross, the mighty Honda CR 250m Elsinore!...1973.
Yeah wot wos the Elsinore mythical powers? I recall the dirt bike scrambles at brodford with dear dad and its name was muttered with envy and admiration
My dad dinked me to city once with just plastic toy lid on me noggin.. I rode up on the tank holding the handle bars must been 8 yold we went to hearld paper press flinders st watched his story get set to printNice lid!
I really don't know, but I knew the first time I seen one screaming around a track, one day I'd have one!......they were $710- new.
Was it the reed?? carby that gave it greater power? an what the hell is a reed carburetor anyhoo. I always pictured one with a bit of grass hanging in the venturi hole
Yes, the MT was a good bike, not real peaky but good torque for 2 stroke 250. I always liked the first model (Orange top tank).
Sold the last one I had 20 years ago for $300.

It was their power to weight that made them!.......35hp @ 7500 rpm to 100kg stock.

You have a reed block with reed valves in it between the carby and the crankcase.
Think big McCulloch chainsaw versus almost anything else that's piston ported, ie. uses the piston timing to control the induction timing.
Then you have rotary valves with the carby hanging off the the side of the crankcase instead of the front (or back)
Russel Ingall is missing the top off one of his fingers from putting it into the chain and sprocket of his 100cc rotary valved International kart at Oran Park way back in the late eighties.
We used to give the carby a pat/choke at the end of the straight with the old air cooled kart engines to stop them seizing as we ran right at the ragged edge of tuning and the carby hung right above the drive sprocket. Rusty put his fingers around the carby a touch too far.
I don't think they ever did find the finger tip.......

Its almost impossible to deal with, however there is a way around it but comes at a price also.
Care to share?

Its called shopmate by Aus Post. You get a free US postal address so you buy with that address and Aus Post will send it here. I use it as a last resort as it costs a few $$ more than USPS but it works.
