I'm getting ready to start a project bringing Tim's 1997 Noleen Yamaha 125 back to life. Unfortunately, I'm having a REALLY difficult time finding quality photos of his bike to emulate.

Can anyone help me with this. Anything that you may have taken that allows me to restore this bike would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There's a guy from Manitoba that can probably help you out. Unfortunately, some of the pictures might be stuck together.

Tim was on a Suzuki in 1997. This is from Steel City that year. He was on one at Unadilla that year as well

Thanks. To clarify, I have a 1997 Noleen YZ125 that has been traced to Tim as its rider. Perhaps late in the year prior to his jump to the Noleen 250 he spent some time in this one.

I'd like to restore it as true to its original state as possible. Hell, even if I can find a picture of ANY Noleen 125 from 97 I can work with that.

Thanks.

Edit: It is a practice bike, Not a race bike.

The 97 had the american flag graphics. I was Noleen Sponsored in 97 and ran their graphics on my YZ's. If I can find time I'll scan some pics of my bikes and upload them

The seat cover looks very close to the 1998 if not identical. If the 10th digit of the VIN is a "V", it's a 97, if it's a "W", it's a 1998
Yes. That's the one. I'll check the VIN when I pick it up. I appreciate the heads up.

Tim Ferry, famous for always having man friend Steve MAtthes, is ironically, now a man friend to Trey Canard.

Some people might prefer coach to man friend.

Not sure who is who, but I think these are either Ferry or Ty Wallace... 1994 RRP. Sorry for crappy pics.

Hard to make out the number but I do know Ty Wallace ran #281 in 1994. I remember watching him growing up tearing it up at Pagoda. I believe on of the first nationals I went to was Unadilla in 1994 and Ty holeshot one of the motos.

Actually, just looked it up....sure did!

Omg the rear fender is a maico rear fender, I haven't been able to track a seat cover down, I'd buy yours if you'd sell it, I'm also having trouble finding the red side plates, but I'd give your seat cover to Anthony moore and get him to reproduce it, the quality of his stuff is awesome.
Whilst I'm over in Australia he is in Florida I think, look up AM MX on Facebook
