Fowey River has its own class of racer called Troy's where are a similar size. Falmouth have what they call Restricted 18's again of a similar size. My father in law was a local Boat Builder and built several of the Troy racers and restored others as well as a Falmouth 18. That's how I know the little I do. My wife and I had a Redwing 16 which was the same thing but different if that makes any sense, I am sure you can tell that I am and have never been a sailor, but I know lots of people who are. I do find the boats interesting though. @XTreme @XTreme another boat boy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Yamaha R125 in a dark dealership while I go up from the shop to get coffee. Surprised how big and well built it looks for a 125. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised how big and well built it looks for a 125. I think I've ridden one of those at walking pace. There was a youngster online who kept failing his part one test on the slow slaloms and figure of 8s. I offered to see what he was doing wrong and correct it if possible, I borrowed the contractor's storage yard on a Saturday and gave him the directions to find it. This person turned up on a 125 that looked like that and sounded like it was a fire breathing 1000cc beast. I set some cones out and watched him wobble around it doing his figure of 8, all over the place, feet down in panic etc. I got him sorted out until he could do it with a bit of confidence and then had a go on the same cones with my Versys (or Varadero, not sure exactly when it was). I managed it fine and then I asked if I could try a slalom and figure of 8 on his bike. WELL, the look of horror he gave me when I asked, he was worried I'd damage it by the look on his face. He let me try it, but he wasn't happy about it I could tell. I believe he passed his test a short while after, never heard of him after that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I seem to have trouble finding front tyres for my bike and I wondered if it was the same as yours, especially as it looked a bit more off roady. It's close enough size wise to fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
