Does anyone have an early '80's XT250?

I've recently acquired one that's 90% complete, I just need a few photo's of clocks, headlamp and mounting etc. to find out exactly what's missing. Any info appreciated. Ta.

Jim

Evening Alison,

Has Steve still got Stuart's old XT250??

Cheers

Ian


Dear Ian

Yes, as a matter of fact he has, and if I had time I'd tell you about all the other old ****e he's still got!!!

with love
Alison xx

Dear Ian

I stand corrected, apparently it's all precious/desirable/collectable/priceless - in fact it's the sort of ****e that certain types of people would happily die for!! Silly girly me!!

With love
Alison xx

2000 XRV750 (NO 3), I think I'm getting the hang of them now, must fit the centrestand before the back tyre wears out. Damn, the driveshaft bearing wore out first!

...and it usually does come in handy, just after you throw it out!

I've still got old 400/4, GS750, z650 and Trumpet 6T bits lying around 'just in case'. Nothing of any particular use to anyone you understand...until I chuck 'em out!


Yen & Bob - I've PM'd you.

Sorry Jim,

I see my mistake now, what I meant was I've got a lot of old tat lying around but unfortunately nothing for a XT250

No worries Bob, after reading your PM I realised what you meant - I've got loads of old tat too!

PM'd you Phil. It's be good to meet up, say Devils Bridge or somewhere now that Helmsley's not the local meet!

Re: Does anyone have an early '80's XT250?

Reading the recent posts do we need a "Tat Swop Corner" on the site ?

I too got loads... erm 2 sheds & an attic full.

But i have had over 30 yrs of the most memorable times enjoying the machines that made me accumulate the Tat !!

& for anyone who doubts value of what wimmen call "Tat" (unless its their Tat !!) I sold a 750 Commando Seat/ tank Cover/ Orig Stadium Goggles (all discovered in dad's attic when i had to dgo round & fix his Ballcock last year) for Total of £230.00 plus post !!

My serious advice is - hang on to anything bike wise thats sellable till they get rarer - my bits didnt do any harm in Dads loft for 30 yrs and look at the profit on 3 items that prob cast circa £20 the lot !!

I know the £20 worth more then but even so ! We could build up good retirement funds here Guy's

God that thought has inspired me...

Better to Die with a Shed full of Tat than live a life that didnt need it in the first place !!
