This bike smells like root beer and orange tootsie pops

I love it. Hauls anything I fit in it. Drags anything I hitch to it. Doesn't get anywhere fast, but it always gets there. Turning radius will shame about anything new on the road. I've got the 258 with 3sp

I bought a sticker, and some fork seals

Hurco550 spends too much time on the internet. Hurco550 is a Russian bot. Don't be like hurco550

Thanks, originally I bought it as a parts watch to feed another 40s Roamer I have, but upon opening it, it was just too nice and complete to cannibalize. Got to find another one now

I bought something non motorcycle related recently, and even managed to get it working! Much like bikes, I like buying stuff "for parts" and finding out im slightly less ham fisted than the previous owner. A 40-50's Roamer watch with an MST372 movement.

I'd just let it be. Keeps it easier in parts sourcing. You can pile on a lot of $ for a couple ponies, and the xl/xr dual carb motors are no slouch. I will say for the 83 motor, it's got the weirdo Reed valve in the head, so if you use a later set of dual carbs, you may want to block that...

I am definitely full of sarcastic crap. Anyone taking me seriously should themselves probably not be taken seriously :)

Stupid account of history...? You're the one who made that history with your actions. What does that make you? History doesn't make itself. Neither does the future. You made yours, own it. But you won't understand what I just said either. So consider this. DataDavid didn't say...

I voted for the Honda

Lamest bike ever. Might as well ride a bicycle. Xr200's are worthless

Dumbest. Bike. Ever. I'd never own one.

I'd say so. This sounds like a good plan

Ooh! This I must read up on

Ha, true. and autocorrect is hilarious some days
