If only you knew someone with a giant garage filled with motorcycles who'd love to have a 916 in there, even if it belonged to someone else . . .

If only . . .

But then I'd have to y'know, interact with you before I took it for a ride.  ;D

I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

I smell a business opportunity.

In other news a buddy of mine is working on picking up an '86 rz-350 (the bike I used to race when dinosaurs ruled the earth) for free. We're going to try and fix it up as a track day and (potentially) race bike.

I think my "outside bike" jones is satiated for the time being.

At least until I ride the damn thing at speed and realize what complete crap bikes were back then. [laugh]

I think the lack of braking will be the biggest surprise.

that is the very first bike i ever worked on... i never rode it but i spent many hours stripping it down to the bare frame, fully rebuilding the engine, then while waiting for an new fuel tank to arrive so i could finally ride the damn thing a super typhoon hits guam and drops a fricking coconut tree through my garage roof ending any chances of ever taking it out for a spin.

at least i was able to return the gas tank for a full refund.
it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.
