Sounds good to me

I better dust off the RG and check the tires. You will be entering Griz & Lowey country among many other Allblack greats.

Could be interested in this

Yea, it had more of a light truck front wheel tread instead of below

Just going through pics and video at the moment, one of the easier sections of the Porika

Well done! see ya soon

i am heading up thursday too, prob early afternoon

I have been keeping an eye on it too and might be chasing our tail but doesn't look like much unless it changes. Hey what time are people heading for Hanmer?

Here is an example of 1974 info I have, is anyone interested in this for other years? I have a spreadsheet of small bikes from 70-79 and all models from 71 - 94 with just frame and engine numbers. I believe the frame and engine numbering is where they end although not sure if TM models were numbered? 1974 TS50L TS100L TC100L RV90L TM75L TM100L Model Name Gaucho Honcho Blazer Rover Contender Frame# TS50-62870 TS100-22334 TC100-21892 RV90-57055 TM75-10001 TM100-10001 Engine# TS50-62891 TS100-23347 TC100-21899 RV90-57881 TM75-10001 TM100-10001 Engine type 49cc 2-stroke 97cc 2-stroke 97cc 2-stroke 88cc 2-stroke 72cc 2-stroke 98cc 2-stroke Model code 260 253 254 271 261 286 Colour Gypsy red Stardust Candy White Yellow Aspen yellow silver turquoise

Sounds promising. I have a next month project now

Can someone help me with requirements for getting my 1974 TC100 done? I have original Black plate and Ownership papers with it's details matching the chassis and engine This model never came with indicators unlike the TS100, will I need them?

Thx, I remember seeing it before taking my motorhome up the hill and around to Port Underwood. that would be another great ride.

I stayed beside the river near Rarangi below the stop bank one night, is that the place?

Getting things sorted for this I have taken the room at Top10 Nelson so looking to share with another couple of people @ $50each I haven't got Blenheim sorted yet, anything spare? WOF time tomorrow and time for some dual sport tires and maybe lift my front guard. The list of things to take is getting longer

O buggar, sounds like fun scratch the ute then.

Been a long time since I have been to the Braeburn and Matakitaki, I did quite a bit of clear felling under the new transmission line we were building through their and it was the roads used in the last NZ International Rally to be run in the South Island, we sat on the Inter 4x4 and watched them them going through. . I am keen on this one, might have to find some dual purpose style tires for one of my 150's. I also have a Holden Ute with a towbar if needed for backup although the LS1 will chew through a bit of juice.

Getting close now, wiring, cables and chain

Yea I was like geez these almost never come up, not an affordable one that is on the road. Left chch 11pm, cruised down had some breakfast in Inver had a chat and loaded it on, had a coffee and another chat and drove back in time for dinner. Triple 2 strokes have such a unique growl, I love them. I took it out today and after fuel went on the motorway and literally smoked everyone but by the time I got back home it was running sweet and just a slight bit of blue. I am going to do the same tomorrow to see if it clears sooner.

I just can't stop.... I have 2stroke oil for blood. It's in well used condition but I call it a long term rideable project. Everything on these costs $$ so i think I will enjoy it a bit before I do anything too much and the motor has only done about 250kms since a major rebuild

I agree

Hey man, I probably wouldn't but I hate saying that as in a year or so I will LOL.

And the other 2 new Suzuki's RV75 VanVan's I have and I am in the middle of painting one, I wouldn't call it restoring but definitely saving. Thank goodness it was surface rust apart from a couple of very small holes where the sand and shit would stick.

Yea I know that, brain fart, but couldn't change the heading, I have been searching TS100 stuff and just got so used to writing and was half asleep LOL, This makes 3 TC's I have now, the others being 125's

No bull, it was mostly engine oil, I could smell concentrated fuel from the tank but this smelled like oil and but it was mixed with the unleaded varnish. I reckon because it's a rotary valve and the carb being so low the piston was causing a splash when it was going up the liner as it was scaping 90% of it off and that was when the the rotary valve would be open and feeding the crank case vacuum. I have pulled down and built up heaps of 2strokes and never have I had this, usually the left over fuel solidifies and this bike sat for over 10 years in an open shed until now. Honestly the carb throat was being flooded with oil and then having the needle lifted so high because someone had it about 15mm open probably because it was the only way it would run. Even the jets were like new from the oil.
