Happenings.

So lately I've picked up a little Bandit 400. Supposedly, the motor is bad; yet it cranks over just fine. Seems to be a fuel issue. Pics of that will come later. I also managed to pick up a little moped - 1977 Sparta Foxi GT. Put some fresh fuel in and peddled a bit and it fired up. Needs tweaking though.


I sold my 1993 ZX7 last week as well.

I put it up for sale at $2,000 with all the spares I had - one left side fairing, one upper, two right side fairings, OEM clutch set up, Vance & Hines PowerPak, Vance & Hines ignition advancer and some other small things. The fellow I sold it to is a local who bought one brand new in 1993 and put 18,000 miles on it in 2 years! He had a child so he had to get rid of it but he wanted another one. He intends on taking it down to the frame and fully restoring it. 

Parting shot a on a very very rainy day. 

Today, I finally got around to dropping the blown up motor from the 1997 GSX-R600 I picked up in Vermont last year.

Again, ignore the stupid decal. It was on it when I bought it.

Getting there. 

And it's out!

Hey, see those two screws that are missing? The motor ate them and blew a hole in the piston!

New motor in. Only took about 4 hours from the turn of the first screw to get the new motor in. Getting it started was a different story. Took some coaxing but finally she fired up and ran well. 

Tomorrow I'm picking up another bike, check back then for an update!

Until next time,

See you on the road!
