That's the same as the TS185 I had...
My brother originally bought it for $80, I think. It was a bit of a basket case though. It ended up stored in a calf shed out on the farm for ages before I bought it off him. It's funny though as he ended up helping me put it back together. Why he didn't do it when he owned it I don't know...
This was back in 1976 me thinks...
I ended up buying another bike off him down the track, a Honda XL250...just like this:
Before the Honda I'd only had 2 strokes and, to be honest, I looked down my nose a bit at Honda and their 4 stroke bikes, especially when I was trail bike riding up in the bush. My opinion changed after owning that XL and was probably the reason I ended up with my CX down the track.
I kept the XL for a couple of years then traded it in on one of these:
What a disappointment!
It was slower than the old Honda, pretty hopeless with a pillion and I just couldn't wait to get rid of it!
If only I hadn't traded the XL...especially when I thought back to how little they gave me as a trade...
Anyhow, I put up with it for 5 months and then traded it in on my Honda CX500EC...
Thankfully I didn't lose much as I'd got the DR tax exempt...pretty much just the cost of the rego...
And the rest, as they say, is history...
