[QUOTE="Norm, post: 21571, member: 17511"] Hey Mort, TS185s bring back memories for me. That was the first bike I ever rode on- when I was three, my dad would stick me on the gastank of his TS and ride me around. I'd always would burn my shoes on the exhaust! Overall, I think it should be a reliable, easy to ride bike. My dad bought his in '72 and rode it until around '91. Always ran well with very little maintenance (I think he only replaced the topend once). Very user-friendly power - torquey and not peaky. Suspension isn't very good, but what can you expect from an old dual purpose. The good news is that there are still parts available for the old beast. Pistons and topend gaskets can be had through Wiseco, and I've also found that Boyesen makes reeds for it (a reed valve was on the later models, but I'm not sure what year they first included it). Barnett still makes clutch plates, and sprockets can be found through [url="http://www.sprocketspecialists.com"]www.sprocketspecialists.com[/url] Hope this helps. Norm [/QUOTE]
