Some Happenings

Ahoy.

No new purchases on the two wheeled front but I did bring home all of my bikes that were in storage.

First one:




I've posted about it before, it's a 1987 Suzuki GSX-R1100. It sat in a barn in New Hampshire for a long time so it needs to be restored. Currently it is for sale with my other 1987 Suzuki GSX-R1100 as a pair.

Second one:



This is that Honda Hawk GT I picked up for free. I sourced a fuel tank and radiator for it. 
Today, I sprayed some starting fluid and cranked it over and it fired up so I pulled the carburetors off to clean them; this is what I found...





Poor bike must have endured some serious abuse in its time in order to break a carburetor body! The hunt begins for a replacement set...

And finally! 



This is the 1998 Suzuki GSX-R750 I bought from a co-worker at my previous job. It shut off while he was riding it. Today I put some fresh gas and a battery in it and it fired up and ran great! I then polished up the body panels and cleaned the wheels. A very nice looking bike indeed!



On the four wheeled front, I've been slowly making the Golf just a little nicer. I replaced the entire suspensions front to back, timing belt, fixed the oil leak and some other minor improvements.

Until next time,
See you on the road!
