C5Paul Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Has anyone ridden trials before? I recently purchased an old 1974 (first year) Yamaha TY250A.It was painted by one of the previous owners with a spray can and I don't share his love for hammer textured grey paint. For the exhaust I am going to use DuraHeat, and tough high temp coating produced by a local Wisconsin company and designed for firearms. I have been impressed with their other products and hope this is more durable than high temp paint. The final colors will be red/white/black to match our family business logo. I'm excited to have saved this bike from being parted out. If you have a story or two about trials riding please share! I've never tried it but I'm never too old for a challenge! I've got more pictures on my website and will be adding as we go. I hope to be finished before Spring time.http://www.c5ignitio...m-pictures.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzidude Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's interesting to see how big the gas tanks were on the older ones. How is the progress? Also Paul, love the Guzzi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C5Paul Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I acquired the bike from a friend in Milwaukee. I'm waiting for the frame to be sandblasted and I've got quite a bit done already. I'm also working on my '71 Ossa so until those are finished, my Guzzi project can't begin. I also just worked a trade with Ken Ulrich for a sidecar. Now my solo can be converted for rallies and camping trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
