id help

[Paulhenry]

Hi guys. I recently purchased my first bike and was hoping someone out there can help me identity it. It was a spur of the moment buy ( I hadn't ridden a moto since I was a kid ) and once I actually got to ride it without stalling it, I was instantly hooked. She is obviously a bitsa, made up of anything old mate could get his hands on, bolts missing here and there, and only didn't leak oil because she was dry as nuns something, but damb its fun to ride. Any suggestions as to what my Frankenstein ride could be would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,Paul.

Looks like an old Thumpster to me mate? :confused-smiley-013:

Thanks for the reply cordogs. It looks like a fairly well built frame but I can't see any markings on anything except for lifan on the motor. I was hoping someone might have been able to identify it from the plate stamped on the frame near the forks.

Hi mate,

It's basically an Orion, Apollo AGB29.
As for not riding it to hard, don't bet on it, if you look at my profile pick you will see the bike pictured is very similar to yours. It, and the other one the same that I have have both been ridden hard and fast over some rough terrain and are both holding up just fine. Much better in fact than some of the "lesser" heavier framed bikes that I have.

Mark.
