Bob Bolton's XS1
After these photos were taken I thought I would just replace the clutch oil seal - a few months and heaps of money later I now have a new engine!!! Remind me again why I enjoy this. Entire restoration has taken about three years. Paint job by Dan Murdoch of Sydney. Had one of the first two XS1's in Qld back in 1970 hence the nostalgia trip. Regards Bob Bolton, Rochedale Queensland.
Matt Moloney's Sidecar Racer
Matt Moloney and his sidecar passenger Ash
Matt has spent a lot of time and money building this sidecar
racer from a chassis he bought from Walter Preisig in South Australia.
We won't go into specifics about the motor so we don't give Matt's competitors
an unfair advantage but we will say this, watch out, Matt's coming!!!
Daryl Turner's Tracker
Hi Terry, I thought that you might be interested in some progress photo's of my Tracker. The tank is from a 1983 XT 250 Yamaha, the seat is a fibreglass XR750 Harley replica from Moto Tumbi,classic motorcycle fibreglass, Mick's a great bloke to deal with & I would recommend him to everyone. The paint is my work. At the moment I'm working on fitting 1984 RZ350 forks & a 1981 GPZ 1100 seven spoke alloy rear wheel (18"). I'll send more photo's as the work progresses.
Great job Daryl, I just love those trackers!!!
Gerry Di Lucchio's Special
Hi
Terry,
Just wanted to introduce myself and send some info on my bike. I have just
purchased a 1980 XS 650 Special (pics attached) and become a member of the club.
It wasn’t the first and definitely not the cheapest one I saw but for some
reason this one was the one to buy! Don’t know much about the xs but I’m in
the process of tidying her up. The site you run is unbelievably informative and
has helped me throughout this process. My next step is to contact some of the
other members in the
Regards,
Gerry
