Wow! A trials bike. They were a real niche bike. Most hardly saw any use from what I recall, but that one looks like it got no use.
I remember those TL's in the days of Bultaco Sherpas, Astros, Pershings, Hodaka Dirt Squirts & the Montessas, etc.
Cool classic bikes.
I had an opportunity to buy a Kaw. Mach IV and an RE5 from the same guy several years back. Both were in nearly new shape. The Mach's powerband and handling scared the guy out of motorcycles all together so he was selling them both for $2500. If I'd only had the cash at the time
The original crotch rocket and a rotary powered bike....talk about a pair of unusual bikes.

Hopefully the new owner of this blue time capsule will chime in soon and share his excitement with us.

Well, everyone...here is the new addition to the Morrison collection!
I think she fits right in! Blue82 has many friends to keep her company too! She will get out to any show I can get her too and of course I am open to 928 visitors as well!
We will have 3rd coast here in Nov so come on down to Texas and has come good BBQ, enjoy some wonderful Hill Country roads, and come see Blue82 and all her friends at the Morrison house!
Thanks Kie this car is SPECTACULAR! You are right about the tires...they are NOT ROUND anymore! Thankfully I have a very large number of wheels and tires to choose from!
Thanks to all those who were wise counsel and good friends who understand the importance of these time capsules and for the suggestions for cosmoline removal!
Enjoy the pics guys! Many more to come! Probably start a new thread about this car.

CONGRATULATIONS JAMES! 
Not sure why but for some reason I had a feeling you bought it!
Definitely a really nice addition to the stable. Do you have enough garage space? If not feel free to send a shark my way.
Be gentle with the cleaners, use products which are known to be safe and use soft brushes (boars hair), sponges and microfibers when cleaning everything.
Can't wait to see more pics of her.

Tom, you just keep watching for it... Maybe I can pass the GT car off as modified Blue82...they are the same color afterall!
I tell you what the interior on this car might even be better than the exterior! It is just amazing how buttery soft all the leather is and how clean it all is.
I have to say the stereo installation is first class too, but it takes up all that useful foot room behind the front seats! What are my passengers supposed to do now?! LOL! Not like anyone will ever sit back there. The company that did the install did a really good job!

Congratulations, James!!! I can sooo see you having that car - it's the right color, after all!
Now there's one more reason to visit Austin again... It's been a looong time!
