:-) take me back to the 80's

Post by Private Reg »

I couldn't be unfaithful to my storm :? but I was looking for a lil new bit off stuff on the side :think:
I saw this sexy lil bugger flirting her stuff and I knew I just had to have her :wave:

25 years old and still goes like a fiddlers elbow :lol:

Image

just thought I'd share her with you lads :thumbup:

thanks for the admiring looks guys :D its a KLR250. Not really got a lot of poke but enough to make you grin and remember days gone by. Had the XT250 ER185 TS250 as youngster

I bought it as a winter hack and try a lil off roading but once i got right into her knickers and gave her a good clean down and scrub up to finish off the great jop the previous owner had done I realised she may be a lil to nice to trash :angel: The previous owner had stripped it right down and replaced EVERY nut and bolt with a brand new stainless steel replacement...... 8O 8O Yep, she's a kick starter and being vertically challenged (5ft 10) its pretty difficult to balance on tiptoes and kick at the same time :lol: I daren't tell you how much I've paid as when I've finished having fun I may put it on here for sale. :wink:
The storm still gets the nod though. :thumbup:

Yep, thats the one! loved the gold wheels. I think at that time or there abouts, there was a bond film out and the bad guys were flying about on XT500's on ice...can't remember the film but I loved that bike. I had an RD125 and done a straight swap.
