It seems like Graham Fullers DR250 meets all the criteria of a Scrapper

Cheap enough to buy, missing quite a few (?) bits, A lot of new 2nd hand parts ordered since.

Good Luck with it Graham







Rememeber to send in your Bike Photo's

From PD Pilot

Hi Guy's,
I dont know if this will work, but here goes. I have found a bike lurking in the depths of my local TAFE and felt obliged to free it from these dark recesses. As you can imagine after a life in TAFE it is in need of some TLC. There will be some who disagree with this point, as you can see from the photos (if the link works). Most of it is there, just not in the right places and it needs a bucket load of fastners to put everything back on it. Fingers crossed I will see in Bourke.









If the links work you will see what I paid for it on the speedo and as far as I can tell it has never been registered.

It is looking better already!

Will post new pix shortly.

I am thinking purple paint job to match the theme colour?

Jimmy, get ready!

[OldDog]

I reckon Purple will be perfect Graham, you and PD can be matching

Has anyone checked out Col's ride on Google maps? This is gonna be bloody great with what looks like some good scenery and riding to be had.

Hi, I am thinking about doing this at Easter and will be leaving Nowra Thursday or early Friday, looking to meet up with some others and ride up there.
If I end up doing it solo I am thinking about going inland a bit to Condo then up to Cobar, Louth then to the Rally.

Just thought I would put it out there and see what happens.

Hey there Mallee,

I have a crew leaving from Camden NSW with a support vehicle if you are interested - also anyone else who would like to join in send me a PM . Route will take us over the Blue Mountains / Katoomba dubbo etc then onto Bourke.
Leave your email address in the PM and we can start the email trail...l...

I may be walking with you as the 98 Tenere is proving a very large project!!!!!

[OldDog]

Gents, I'm thinking of pulling up at Byrock Thursday night with Pezz and the support crew if yous are headin past drop in the beers always cold there

[Pezz_gs]

The Boys of Team Inverell seem to have cornered the old Ag bike market in Northern NSW

This little gem was built by Paul OBrien, a nice little CT125 which looks like it has just left the factory

In true Scrapheap tradition this bike was built from no less than 5 donor bikes and was well . . .er under budget too

Total investment, yes it is an investment, is $480!!!

However, there has been an additional $800 spent on Doctors Bills, after Peter was bitten by a blue healer while picking up one of the bikes!!

Great effort Paul and heal up soon !!!

Bloody KTM's

Methinks it's time to stop stuffing round and build a proper bike. If i can't get the KTM going by the weekend it's going out the back of the shed and I'll spend Saturday night doing a stocktake and start a new build.
