I have now vacated my storage "facility" where I had been keeping my TTR250s that I rescued from Spain so I am a bit over run with the things here at TTR Towers to the extent that there are a couple of 'em lurking on the lawn with plastic macs on
I have started going through them with a view to sell the best as "projects bikes" to get a quick gain in garage space and I will break the rest for spares. No 1 has already gone to a good home and here is the 2nd ready for sale.
This TTR was missing its starter motor and switch so I feared the worst but, happily, I replaced the "borrowed" parts and, once I got the starter motor running in the right direction, she started up and runs fine with no smoke or rattles.
I have taken it out for a spin on my private road and the clutch and gears are good. The brakes work well enough for an MOT but, as with any stored bike, will improve with a bit of use as the disc and pads clean up.
This is what a finished example can look like:
The parts are very much sought after and I already have customers waiting for carbs, wheels, kickstart kits and shock absorbers so the bike will be offered for a few days only and, if not sold by next Monday 14th November, will be broken for spares.
