Bike mad people?

Re: Bike mad people?
My 350 is finally ready to pick up, there has been warm temperatures and the snow has been melting. I am hoping the melting continues enough for our road to be devoid of enough snow and ice (really icy right now) so I can ride her home but it's looking like she will be delivered on a trailer though. Can't wait to have her back

Re: Bike mad people?
We initially put it in as he didnt have time, we paid $350 and it was still the same, i.e. brake lever all the way to the handle -so no front brake. They didn't even replace the missing air filter when doing the tune up. So they had it back, waited an incredible amount of time for some parts, rebuilt the brakes and its still squishy. So they want to do the master cylinder, it's being delivered back this week, i have a master cylinder coming and OH is going to do it over the winter. I am also looking into getting a whole new bike and selling this one on as the frustration levels are now quite high. It's either that or I buy a work shop manual and learn how to restore a RZ350, which could be quite exciting!

I passed on the RZ350YPVS I was offered, it needed a lot of work, which I was ok about, and I could have had it for 1500$ but upon a closer inspection I noted the drain plug and oil filler cap was drilled. Hmm, however the radiator cap was not? So I sumised that that bike had a race engine fitted to replace a broken motor.

So the old girl finally made it home yesterday, after OH went and fixed a minor problem we were waiting on that the shop had agreed on sorting but couldn't Both RZs need their tanks re sealing with is pretty annoying. We also bought the Triumph over Christmas, I think OH wanted to make sure there would be something that would work when I want to ride

You are so lucky, it's been snowing for the past two days, no real sign of spring yet and I've only seen one goose coming home so far, he's obviously sent word back saying it's not over yet lol

I love those bikes!! I had one in the early 90's and took it all the way to a bloke called Stan Stephens and had some 'mods' installed. I think it was called a power reed or something?
Personally I would never ride a bike here where I live now, the car drivers are not bike aware like they are back in the UK.

I thought i would share what is sitting in my garage at the moment. Its not mine. The guy that sold me the RZ500 has sold this unridden beauty to the same fella ive sold my RZ500 to. They are both awaiting shippers to take them to an excited lucky bloke that lives in New Brunswick.
not sure why the pic isn't working but it's a 1985 GSX 750.
