Cool, great looking bike, I love Husqvarnas , we messed about on small dirt bikes as kid, it is a riding skill he will never loose.

Only problem, what will Father Christmas need to bring to beat that?

Lucky Tyke with that Bike!

These were all the rage when I was 12. Dad never got me one. I had a choice between a 1.5Hp OMC outboard or the QA.

Outboard was my choice.

I spent a long time finding the mini bike I never had. Now I have BOTH!

$$$$.cc a few years ago.

It is up for a tune up and a new sump plug gasket when the weather warms up.

I just HAVE to update!

I called into the Bike Doctor establishment today as, 20 years ago I used to get them to change my bike tyres. Place has changed slightly and the mechanics and staff are very young but truly enthusiastic. I wanted to get tyres as close to original for my Ducati as I could...(450 MKIII Desmo)..........yes they had them. 3.25x18

I also asked about a battery for my '81 GSX1100EX.......had that as well.

When they were chuffed in helping an Old Bloke out they asked "Anything Else"?

"How about some Genuine 400x5.0 Bridgestone Trailwings for a QA50"? I was just joking.......

Walked out with TWO NEW ONES......................I am buying Lotto! Been on their shelf since probably last time I was there.No special markup, just the original price on them. I will not be changing them as the ones on the bike are very decent.

It is so refreshing to "Revisit and find service as it used to be"

As you drove off with those tyres in your trunk, (notice the use of the word trunk instead of boot) I can hear their conversation, "never thought you'd sell those Shane they must be as hard as a Dingo's droppings after 20 years exposure in the middle of the great Sandy", "no worries Titan he won't be bringing them back as he's too old to ride that relic & it wasn't designed to go round wona them feckin newfangled roundabout thingys!"

Still a "Boot" for Me.

Hard? Performance drop I am afraid over the shelf life aye?

2Hp screaming into a corner on full brake...................I will be very careful.
