First to last

First water cooler to last.

Now I know why those early bikes had so much power... Its the Pyramid.

That's a nice '85.
I need some parts off it

[Gunfrog]

Very cool.

Great pictures, and a great idea to show the beginning and end of the line.

Do you have more, from the RH side?

I assume / hope, you are not going to butcher either one into an AF?

Thanks for posting the pictures. These went straight into my CR500 folder.

The pictures - were they taken at Clarence? The mist and wind tilted trees are very much like it.

Thanks,The shots were taken at Rydal ,Not that far from Clarence.
We ('85 is my mates) had just taken the bikes off the trailer and put them on the stand and the pyramid of power.
They looked so good with the back ground morning mist/fog + there had been a big storm the night before that blew down a heap of trees.
I had to take a picture, all i had was my crappy old Nokia phone.
I only took 3 shots.

Say NO to AF's

Thought the area looked familiar, the fog / mist and tortured trees are all too familiar.

I've nothing against AFs, it's a cheap (at least in the US) way of getting a modern bike. Only when a nice bike is killed to make one, do I scratch my head. I've done a fair few, and still have a couple, but, I prefer the evolution program of my CRE. I've just got a new WP front end and a Ohlins TTX to do the final chassis mods. Though, if I don't get those done over christmas, it will be a slow build between paying work, and other commitments, during next year.
