I just have to say this after Bob posted the minibike. That's actually the first bike I ever rode. When I was a kid, my dad would take me to work with him on sundays. He was a manager of WT Grants in Anderson SC, sorta like Wal-Mart today. There were blue laws back then and nothing was open on sunda...

Don't cheat now!
Yeah, it was his last flag before the accident or so I'm told.
Now, who is on the YZ? Don't cheat!

Hannah was picking his nose on minibikes at the time.
His brother raced also and his father was the "father" of the YZ.

Jim Pomeroy was right but that's not John.
They're racing what they were famous for.
Check out the swingarm on the YZ.
You could say he was the "first" YZ rider ever.

Yeah, I imagine the way the guy rode, he was standing up with the throttle pinned when the guy pulled out. Kawasaki dominated the desert until that. He was one of a very few who could unquestionably use every bit of power a 500 had. There are athletes in life that I just love to watch because of the...

I saw the original on here. I still say it's great to see one of those punks getting what he deserves. Tom should have broke both his damn arms and legs and left him in a pile of his own shit. That's the way I would do it. I haven't been in a fight in a long time, came close a couple of years ago an...

Truly talented. Name him.

I got a brand new rear wheel assembly shipped for $35 and the cheapest price $375, ronayers.com.
I checked SH and a bunch of other places.

You know, there may be another advantage I just thought about. If you had to tap the rear brake over a jump to drop the front end, the Reckluse would keep from killing the engine right? btw-How much was it? And, is body position just as critical when coming out of a corner to keep the front end down...

Is that a 83 seat on that 82? Does it fit and bolt up right?
Thanks for the offer but I'm looking for specific parts right now. The most pressing issue is a chain slider. Of course, you saw the seat!!!

If I new they would price match, I would have done it. Besides, what's the point unless someone beats the original price? I don't think there is any real benefit for me?

I didn't know SH had them that cheap. I thought I checked them, oh well.
I had narrowed it down between ronayers and honda of troy.
I'll check SH out more thoroughly in the future.
One thing I've learned, there is no one place for best prices on everything.

I kinda like the white. Everything on it now has been painted. The most pressing item right now is a chain slider. It has one but it's missing a small piece. I've got 3 bikes I'm working on right now and it's good to be back! I had a major crash in '90 and let it all go. Hospitals, skin grafts, etc....
