Mike, you so "need" to get down to Cincinnati and sift through my stash to see what might be useful for you. 78.5 RM250 78.5 RM250 85 RM125 If Suzuki is the focus.

I would love to feel what its like to run a lap at the speed of a 10-15 guy. The pace of Barcia and Tomac during the last 8 minutes of the race Saturday was incredible. I thought Barcia was coming off his bike "Reed style" on one of the jumps.

Is anyone headed to the race tomorrow? Trying to figure out in Indiana if I have only have to wear a mask at outside events if I can't be 6 feet apart. Some conflicting information on Ironman Facebook site versus ticket/attendance information on their website. Masks are required in indoor...

I find Craiglist is almost dead and tools like Tempest and Bikefinds have fallen behind. EBAY even makes it hard for me to browse bikes for sale. Checkout Facebook Marketplace - dozens and dozens of bikes there. There is even a dedicated Vintage bike area. No need to browse - there is a heck...

Prices have exploded crazy high this year. Must be a bunch of different things. Covid-19, 2-stroke fever, all the magazines doing retro builds, Two-Stroke Tuesdays, ads to buy blown up bikes, Mecum auction prices, Craigslist is dead, new bikes close to $10K on average and ???????. Bikes that...

It is not the price of a new bike that chases me down the rebuild path. It is the freight, set up, administrative fees, and sales tax of a new bike. Those extra new-bike costs go a long way towards funding a rebuild. Plus I like things better the more I use them and longer I have them...

I had a leak in a KX80 tank and tried the soldering gun and then went to melting a zip tie. It held up for a while but ended up getting a replacement tank.

That is too bad. This event is right up there for me as a depraved yet delightful example of anarchy and social disobedience. Close to 1980's Halloween nights in Athens, Ohio. Don't call it a race. Call it a protest and let's get on with it.

I think the riots, burning and looting did just that. Media is mostly over the all COVID-19 all the time. Now protests are the next big thing to sell advertising dollars and push a hyper liberal agenda. Follow the money. No social distancing in the riots - oops I mean protests. Masks are...

Breaking news. Two stroke exhaust fumes and beer stop COVID-19.

Thread topic hopping - but kinda following the crowd. We spent so much time boating while our kids were growing up. Our goal was to boat on as many lakes in KY and surrounding states as possible before the kids finished high school. I fish a little but mostly the family swims, skis...

Just think how much time and money that 81 KX250 would save you. Plus it would look great alongside your KDX;).

I did keep it. At $2,200 it was more that most wanted to spend. Many are looking for those sub $1,000 project bikes - that end up costing more in the end as as so many of us know. The 81 KX is so nice and and with the Ohlins shock I thought it was a fair price.. I still have a couple of '79...

Anxious to follow your progress Mike - post pics. I really like the the 84-86 Hondas. My work travel is grounded plus I am getting some time off (without pay). I have been getting to things in the garage also. I have sold or traded quite a few of my future project bikes over the past 12...

Laurel Lake is close to Cumberland with clear water. Boat in and camp.

You meant real Governor and actual lakes. And not the thread originator for the blatant Jet Ski hijack attempt.

Mike, great post - thanks for helping with the memories and getting us excited about later this year.

Have fun John - love being at the track for Daytona. We are moving my dad to a new retirement apartment or I would have rented your place and been there with you.
