September 8, 201213 yr Author I just put 2 video's on youtube , before the TY80 gets torn down for for a proper engine rebuild and all the final details ... But the little bike does actually work as I envisioned ... And now the search starts for p6 minerelli 50cc parts to rebuild the little fantic too ! http://www.youtube.com/user/TrialsTimes?feature=mhee Glenn
September 9, 201213 yr Author Yes it would be nice to be able to purchase a new simple basic bike ... TY175 , Fantic 200/240 , cota 123 etc. etc... I would think you could sell as mny as you could produce , But sourcing a suitable aircooled and properly geared powerplant would be the major stumbling block , and all the lawyers and regs. that would be in the way... Glenn , (thanks)

September 25, 201213 yr Author I installed the barrel and reed cage and new piston that Bob @ B&J racing ported and set up for me (over a year ago !!!) yesterday . What a differance , a fresh top end and Boysen reeds make on the little monster Now it's truly FUN to ride !!! it actually has torque where it should ! Glenn Edited September 26, 201213 yr by axulsuv
June 8, 201313 yr Author And as luck would have it .. I brought the ty80 to the world round with me to use as a pit bike while all my fantics were in a vintage show ... And of course after 39 years of use/ abuse she would not start ... No Spark !!!! So I just now got around to checking it out , and the coil has a short ... primary to earth ... And what are the odds that my never ending ebay auto search kicks out a new TY80 coil with plug lead for $12.49 w/free shipping ! So I guess my kid will be riding again next weekend ... Glenn
October 25, 201312 yr Author gasgasstu , here you go ... As luck would have it though , I swapped the ty for a reflex for my son as he still out grew it , But it's still in my trials family ,waiting for a friends grandson to outgrow/or get bored with his Oset ! Glenn
