Dion and Richards Garage Escapees

Post date: Nov 21, 2011 10:48:38 AM

Dion has a keen interest in Trade Me, just like the rest of us. However, Dion has a very high buy to watch ratio that ensures a small but steady stream of bikes pass through his garage. Some get to spend a lot of time there, whilst others barely get to settle in. Such is the case with this Suzuki RG250W that Dion spotted in Wellington in a neglected state of repair. At least the motor was running, and with the addition of a tank and sidecovers from Southland + a lot of scrubbing and cleaning it came up a treat. Its days were numbered as Dion spotted one of those "I have always wanted one of those" bikes on Trademe so she had to go to make way for ....... Well thats another story for next time!

Richard turned up on Saturday with his trusty Suzuki T500M, the very last of them before the GT500s. They never sold them in New Zealand so this was bought from an Aussie who had shifted here. He has been riding it for years, and it enevitably wore some bits out that included the infamous 5th gear whine. After an extended rebuild it is nearly ready for more years of faithful service.
