Re: 71 SL125 project vintage MX racer "Poppy"

I'm planning a vintage dirt racer for this sweet find! I remember drooling over the Popular Cycling article where they had a shootout between the Yoshimura and Poweroll engines. I found a scan of the article on old rice.com under the XL page. There's a lot of good stuff on there.

Cool little bike! Do you have the link for that Powroll/Yoshi comparo? I'd love to give that a read

SWEET thanks! How bad do you wish you could just pack up your engine and send it off? I have a hard time finding ANYTHING on Powroll anymore...

Yeah I wish! I'd send it to Pops Yoshimura! I wonder if he's still kicking.

Sadly, no. He apparently passed away in '95. What a legacy though!
