Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Been a bit tight lipped about this but PB have done a big feature in their 'Obsession' section on both mine & Wendles bikes in the next issue (DEC) available to buy from this Wednesday (2nd)

Haven't seen it yet but fingers crossed it's a good feature

Your collective thoughts would be welcome

Got mine delivered on saturday,

Its a very good feature both bikes look very nice , you wont be disappointed




there's a feature on the ducati supermono as well ( i would sell everything for one of them)

Oh yes the Ducati supermono, gorgeous tools, I`ve been sat on one with the engine running but wasn`t allowed to hoon it around the circuit sadly.

Always been a fan of the Supermono - if i could, i would!!

Bit p1553d off that i'll be one of the last to read my own feature - was supposed to have it last week! Guess i'll keep waiting for postie

Not the last ... I haven't been able to find a copy yet ... mind you most of the shops round here just sell Farmers Weekly & Gardeners World

I heard the Aust. dist. of the mag uses QANTAS so buckley's chance of reading it here

Nice feature .... but then it would be wouldn't it

.. and I must say the last edition of Farmers Weekly with the un-faired Massey Fergerson, fitted with the John Deer swing arm and lukey pipes, was just something to drool over

Have to say i prefer Gardeners World meself Stank - excellent feature on pre-preg carbon weave veg baskets & titanium nosed trowels in this months edition, had me rooted (geddit?!)

Thanks Red Rex - a few artistically changed facts & comments but overall we were pretty pleased with the article

So who was it that bought your Thunderace wheel that helped finance the Ohlins forks eh?
Bought the mag today pal, none too shabby piece of journalism to be honest. Although, I would have thought the photographer could have got better shots of you and Wendle.
The `quads` (twin, twins) looking beautiful as always. Give the crazy mutt a good roughing up from me.

Edit:

For those struggling to get hold of a copy:

'Mates rates' Mince

Glad you enjoyed it mate. To be fair we really didn't want our pictures taken but got talked into doing one so i guess they only had that one to work with (i look like a retard innit?)

Mutt has been duly ruffed up on your behalf!

Blimey, Playboy must've changed a bit since I were a Lad

It`s bike porn not dead hedgehog porn!

They may be dead, but some still have fleas
Perf Bikes is the only rag worth reading


The two bikes are lovely

We used to call scuddy mags `Dead Hedghog Manuals`, an old pal and once BSA owners club top man Pete `Bon`- Boniface once said:

" ferkin ell, look at that, it`s like a dead hedgehog with it`s guts hanging out".

Therein started the term dead hedghog manual.
