In october 2007 my baby was stolen from the Beachcomer resort hotel on the central coast of NSW.
Some lowlife cut the ignition out with an angle grinder, broke the fairing,scraped the exhaust ,dented the tank,tried to pry the fuel cap off with a crowbar and to add insult to injury they dumped her like a piece of rubbish in the bush when they couldn't start her.I've owned my bike since feb 97 and it was the first new road bike I had ever bought so after the police returned her to me and I got the ignition repaired so I could ride her home to Melbourne I parked her up in the shed and stewed what to do with her.I was lucky enough to be able to afford to repair the damage the right way so in January this year I went to the local Yamaha shop and ordered a new tank , fairing, ducktail and front guard.I welded the triple clamp and polished the exhaust myself.the tank went on backorder from yamaha and finally arived last week.I am not usually a patiant man but for my rex to be beautiful again I was prepared to wait.As of yesterday it was all worthwhile she's back

Look above your post in this forum, 'How to post pics'.
When I was little they had a building which was a computer, we also went out to play.

Great news. A worthy TRX owner. Lucky TRX.
When I was young there was'nt any computers, come to think of it TVs had funny shaped screens and were in black and white.
We went out to play cos there was nothing else to do!
The devil made me do it !!

The colossus computer was made in 1943! Blimey you are old. lol
We had a black and white telly until about 1974,(must have been my board contributions that got the colour tv).
