Hi & welcome to YOC

German ebay http://www.ebay.de/itm/Yamaha-XS-250-1U5-EZ-78-Sitzbank-/141424408281?pt=DE_Motorradteile&hash=item20ed8d36d9

Aldi had a welder kit last thurs on their special buys for £39.99 they may still have some

As Bippo said Glad you're doing well again. Been there with the job thing, lost my job of 20 years, 6 years ago, I went self employed after that and have never looked back, best thing to happen to me as it turned out but was very down about it at the time.

Welcome back Ian, long time since we saw you on here

Have a good Time Foamy

yes John its only now you've grown up that you realize how much better they are

you see that's were you & Jimmy differ, cos one of jimmy's first bikes was an xs250 and his was a bag of shite, my first bike was an xs250 & I loved it I agree with jimmy though you could pick one up in a lot better nick for a fraction of the money you'll need to get that roadworthy, let alone restored.

Question is, do you feel lucky punk Hi & welcome to YOC

I like it

no

whats the other bike Unk

OK unk in photo bucket move your cursor over pic you want, you will then see a cog in top right corner of pic click on cog then click share, then click IMG at the bottom of list & then paste here

So is Kev going then

I thought you were being a bit harsh there Paul until I realized it was only Foamy

Welcome

Nice to see you making such a big effort Finny, bippo's traveling 240 miles to get there, don't you own an alarm clock?

lots of bikes in my family growing up, now I'm the only one who still has one. My Dad was my biggest influence although he did try to put me off buying my first bike but that just made me want one more. there's nothing like the freedom of owning your own bike & getting away from it all & that still applies today as long as mrs xs doesn't mind
