    every spring i get the urge to buy a cr500 and Supermoto the thing...

    then i drive to work and see folks driving looking at their phone
    instead of the road, sigh.

    gasgas ec250 running good, the ttr125 need some carb work.

    I'm doing a 15 year maintenance on my WR250. Cylinder replate and a bunch
    of suspension/pivot stuff. Still original crank that has to have 1000 hours on it.

    New garage going up. Insulated, heated, and cooled. My first real 365 day a year
    work space. When done the 125 Elsinore is first on list of restorations.

    Go fast. Take chances.

    40yrold delorean parts are kicking my butt
    caliper rebuilds, vac lines everywhere this things
    is worse that a norton SU carb monstrosity.

    side note i did track down electrical issues on a 69 MGB this weekend
    for fun. gosh it was pretty and yes I'm glad the owner left before i got
    the urge to get one of those positive earth vehicles...

    i think priorities will be shifting towards two wheeled vehicles since
    the weather is finally warm in Ohio....

    oh gas gas oh gas gas where for out thou oh gas gas
