Cheap Bike Collection

I accept the challenge.


I'll get back to you.

Slim pickings my way. I searched solely around Cairns and district and for 12,5oo beans I could have

YZ 426 2000 model, $2,200.00 http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/blnc/121201/538r1/2358fhe_20.jpeg

R80 BMW 95,000kms 88 model $2,775 http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/blnc/121230/092r1/7047j93_20.jpeg

and a 2001 TL1000R 45,000 k's young. $5,700 http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/blnc/130101/768r1/151458m_20.jpeg

As an alternative toy I have found this Ocean Kayak for $1000 http://imgc.classistatic.com/cps/blnc/130112/445r1/8471c0b_20.jpeg

Total $11,675. I still have $825 for tinkering around with the new additions.

Thanks Mick. good game.

I like the kayak. Also the R80


 


If I stay awake long enough (I've taken the "Z" pill) I'll have a play. 


 


Question BWB - you do a bit of kayaking?


 


I paddle race skis, I have 3 of the bloody things, the favourite being a dolphin dominator http://www.thegearshed.com/gear/gear_2.php?ad_id=229


 


You wouldn't pick it but the bloody Dolphin site is playing up. meh!

Sometimes, rarely. been out a few times up here, Cape Tribulation and around Cooktown. Also go out for an occasional stand up paddle either ocean or cruising the rivers.

Bah, just give me those in this ad http://advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=20496356&postcount=106

Cheap!! thats me in real life .....


 


Everyday commuter. Maybe worth 3,000? near 100,000kms since new, bucketloads of feel and character and it gets 3.2L/100km round my area and got 2.78L/100 on a highway run !!


 


and its grandchild


 


rebadged as a "Lo-osung"  $100?


 


for the grandchild


 


he came free and unexpected and is the most valuable thing in these photos.


 


Even had cast off rear plastics when I look at it !! how cheap was that $2,000?  Well it was given to me andI felt guilty and gave him ?2000? a few years back. love it.  ...... well and since I gave him money he can't have it back now :lol: :lol: :lol:


and I still have it.


 


for a bit of ye old fun $300?


run it on premix vegetable oil and R30 50/50 mix for the nostalgic smell too :lol:


 


and I even have a sea kayak with prime mover :lol: kayak Ebay new $750 ..... kids quad Ebay new $750





 


but what I would own but never pay that much for ...... ie. I have it on loan ...


the best all round dirt machine ever built.





 


Why dream!?? you can be cheap like me in real life!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

If I went through the exercise I would have a fleet of 150cc step-through's and a monkey bike - bikes are just ridiculous money here... like an 883 Sportster for US$28,000!


 


Second-hand is junkyard - but at new bike prices. If they are selling it, there is usually a reason.


 


I got my bikes in under the 'emigrant' scheme - but have to take them back with me. Silly thing is, the one bike we left behind (Piaggio MP3) would have been the best of the lot over here.
