Jamie Cahill's XS2

Jamie has only recently bought this XS2 with late front end and custom seat and he tells me the previous owner has done a complete engine rebuild so he's looking forward to some "quality time" with his new toy. He's already looking for the parts to restore it back to original so if you have any parts he might need I'm sure he would be happy to hear from you. He can be contacted at his email address:-  locoaudio@ozemail.com.au

Gavin Gills 1974 TX650A

I never had the chance to meet Roy & came across his TX 650A only by chance. 
Described by his brother Ion as a great bloke who was a single guy who’s life was motorcycles .It was through a conversation with Ion to do with Windsurfing that I found out about the TX. 
Sadly at the age of 50 Roy left us due to cancer. Roy had owned all sorts of bikes from his teenage years until he fell ill some 6 years ago. Ion tells of the Duke 450, the numerous Bsa,s Trumpy,s & Nortons. He had that larrikin style that I am sure a lot of bike riders have or had. 
You know, the old wheel stand pose on the Norton up your parents drive way that ended up in the tank stand. As far as we know Roy purchased the TX new & while he had other bikes since 1974 never parted with the old girl. When found the TX had been resting since he fell ill, but there is evidence that a rebuild had been started . 
The pipes & carbies were off & the engine bolts where loose. Ion says that after all the bikes he had, he always came back to the TX.( sound familiar) 
My mission is to restore TX Roy & once again take  Ion & his children for a spin around the block .
Roy McPhee  was a concreter by trade & last lived in Lismore N.S.W.
