Posted August 16, 201410 yr Hi guys, Currently riding Honda F4i 600 as a road bike but have always had Yamahas as dirt bikes. My dad has just over 1100 acres out near Gatton which we gave recently decided to run cattle on. Whilst my TTR250 is a great bike it is at most times not a practical bike for farm work. This started me looking around at some cheap bash abouts for getting from A to B whilst also carrying tools and what not to places its a pain in the ass to get a 4x4. Quads are to expensive at the moment for my budget. Anyway I ended up buying a 1981 Yamaha AG 100 that has been stripped of all the road features ( headlight speedo etc) and painted nastily with a can of black spray paint. But it runs and was only $100. Today I purchased this for $50 and am hoping to make a good bike out of 2 I am hoping to make some practical mods to it and also see what parts from other yamahas are interchangeable with the old AG 100 if any one has any advice or pics of how they have set up there AG id love to see them. Cheers Dave
August 16, 201410 yr Moderator Liking your little bike davo, hey that rack, now that's the biz isnt it you could carry bales of hay on that thing
August 16, 201410 yr The rack is about the only shiny thing on it !! But other than that it's a fair little bike for getting about on a farm I should think, taking 2 rough ones and making 1 good one is a good idea just remember to keep the bits you don't use cos as sure a shit as soon as you chuck them away that's the bit that will break or fall off. Welcome to the YOC it's always nice to have new folks join in.

There pretty common over here in oz and NZ.
