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

last time i put intestines on a bike some weirdo in a hockey mask bought it.

Outstanding build here. You're making me reconsider what to use my spare rfvc lump for...

guess i kinda dropped this thread. Anyways, the bike whent back together in a mad rush in april over two days t make ready to ride during the Meltdown show in Hendersonville. Pretty much been riding it non stop since and crossing creeks, choking it with mud and water, etc. But ya'll knew...

I have certainly moved on. And yes, dirt and dual sports for me. not Harley or other modern cruiser. While my sohc 750 was a blast a few years back, it just got less and less practical, and its starting to be really uncomfortable to lay over and listen to the loud exhaust, etc. its currently...

BIG NEWS!!!! I actually made progress. After being stoopid and tricking myself into thinking if I spent the same amount of time masking the bottom end as it would take to just disassemble all the little gears and bearings, I could save a marginal amount of time not reassembling it all and...
