Circumstances don't permit me to keep up with the maintenance/parts in order to rebuild and enjoy the trips away any more, so the lot is going. I haven't figured out how to put these on Ebay or Gumtree yet, so I thought I'd better give the Krowd a look first.
1985 RT registered till November, a list a mile long of work done and parts renewed (includes new front and rear disc rotors, braided lines up front, all new T/B rubbers, uppers and lowers, clamps, fuel hoses, air hoses, quick release fuel tank clips, swing arm and front wheel bearings, water pump rebuilt). That'll do, PM me if you want to know anything. Tyres 90%.

Then there is a 1990 LT in chookshed condition but it runs. Needs cam chain tensioner/new chain
not sure , and needs all the rubbers replaced. Usual story, but has the bones of a nice bike.

And yes it has an RT badge on it, for those pedantists.
And finally my 86 spares bike, rolling frame with some bits missing but good engine and gearbox
electric loom is mostly intact, good forks and tubes. (original speedo said 64,000 klm before it vanished).
Anyway, it's all there and together for $3,800 the lot if anyone has any money left and a shed.
Lots of spares, panniers, 3 sizes of windscreen for the RT, highrise, mid height and crappy original.
I need a beer now so don't call me tonight, and don't ask me why the RT gets 2 photos.

Sorry to see you giving them up and I hope you do find some other outlet to enjoy.

Looks like a nice collection, hopefully it will find a good home.

That's a sad day for all of us Bob. Life is what happens when you're busy making plans, I guess.

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks guys, I won't be detaching from the Forum as I have made some good friends here, and some of them might still need a place to stay on trips.
Cheers.

Guess the tough decision is made Bob.

Going to have to change your name now. Unless you find another RT.

So our challenge now is to find RT a bike to ride with us that we wouldn't mind being seen with.

Definitely a tough decision.

I hope the sale works out for you.

Keep it up, I'm feeling a bit better.
Red Triumph?.My wife is ST, there s a honda out there somewhere.Meantime I'm on a 500 Go Slow Suzuki, suits me really.

I have some spare BMW badges and stickers....put them on the Suzi and tell no one....you are still one of us (not sure whether that is good or bad for you).

OOOOHHHHH.
That's not very nice.

I had one. Superb all rounder for the price. One of Suzuki's most enduring - like the DR650.

After a couple of weeks, you'll be thinking it is great and quite a good performer.

sad to hear RT, 
if you start longing for the K, I'm sure Waz could always do with some company in his chair.

I have a spare K here RT if you feel the need the need for speed or cruising what ever.

your are a thoughtful man waz ...

cheers for the excellent suggestion

nothing quite the same as the same

Got to get them sold first. I'll take one last road trip next week out west if not too wet. Better get some piccies of a clean bike first.
Thanks WAZ, good idea, just keep that 3 wheeled thing to yourself.

just keep that 3 wheeled thing to yourself


aren't you just a little bit tri curious?

Yes mate, I am, and would like to have a go on flat country no gates or traffic. I wish they were easy, I might be tempted.
