When more than one...

... how do you post in members rides? Or upgrades for that matter?
Just posting for the fun of it, after the weekend 11-12/9 -21 I will have brought home 3 more TRX's in condition varying from "stood 10 year outside at the coast" to "done MOT and running below 4000" including parts and stuff to fill the floor of my Renault Trafic.
End result of all this will at the least be a hoonigan bike called Troodon for the girlfriend, hopefully a stock-ish bike for sale and a bunch of parts to go. If I'm lucky an extra engine after pulling it completely apart. If I'm very lucky indeed some rep for my spare time bike work shop.

Hi jpe70!
I'd suggest posting them one by one in the order of purchasing ... or in descending order of their condition
When I look at my Renault Trafic (the TRiXie-Taxi
), a floor full of parts is quite a whole lot of them!
Then let's hope you will be a very lucky guy with all the tinkering and your girlfriend will also be very lucky with owning and riding the TRX!

It'll be after condition then, because I just bought the two at the same time and "inheriting" the third...
Will probably take a lot more time than I think, but if I give it 4-5 hours every week one of them should be finished by spring. Have some things to do on the Bumble bee too and hopefully some customers in the garage.
- First is the kind-of-running one, the Streetfighter. Starts and are MOT but runs porly and not much at all over 4000 rpm. Possible to ride though. This will become Laila's all black/carbon bike.
- Second, there's the "R6". Was running before modifications started, very unfinished everywhere but have new cans and rebuilt fork with Öhlins springs.
- Third is the worst. Been standing outside a garage at the coast for 8-10 years. If I'm lucky there's some parts I can use. Crank bearings are gone too...
If this frame is usable the engine from R6-bike will go into it and I'll use parts to build a sellable TRX and maybe get some money back.

nice collection!
A couple parts are not TRX, like the side stand on 0:48 in the video.
I don't recognise the plate (?) at 0:38.

Good spotting, those are R6 parts most of it for the bike with R6 rear end. Some ThunderCat parts in there too, like a saddle and other odd pieces.

I've bought Highlander's pair of TRXs so I'm pretty much in the same position
