wolfeman28 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Howdy all. Not new to the Cleveland area, but new on the site. Browsed these forums for a while but never made an account. Got furloughed last month from work so I have some time to waste on the interwebs now. Been riding bikes in some shape or form for 20 years. Started off with modern machines and have slowly drifted to older and smaller. Currently building a few bikes for specific race purposes but the money is tight now so may take a while. Finished a 400 that will likely see the 3 Ohio mile events this year, and if the motor feels stout on the dyno I may use it as my street bike as well. Seems to idle well enough for it. Going to try and ride it to the IMS show to break the rings in. See you all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_c_F Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Lyndhurst here. Interesting that you're regressing to older machines. Any reason that doesn't involve cans of PBR and carefully-vintage-looking helmets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it started when you could go buy 10 older bikes for the same price of a new one. Unfortunately you can't do that anymore thanks to the hipsters driving up the prices of the old stuff. It's also nice (for the most part) to ride a bike where 100% of the power is usable within the speed limit. Keeps me legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 What kind of projects do you have going? I'm starting to like the simpler, older stuff myself. I'm casually looking for an air-cooled 125cc 2-stroke bike with a dirt chassis, or an air-cooled 200cc 4-stroke. Anything that is Formula 1 legal for OMRL, but also cheap to buy and maintain... I know whatever i end up with won't be as quick as a CRF 150R, but if it can be close for half as much money, I'll call that a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still debating weather to fix it up and use it as is, or pull the motor and use it in a RS250. I have enough parts to finish a RD400 as well, but will take a lot of work.

redkow97 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Okay, so you're into old 2-strokes. Are you active on teh WERA board? I was over there talking to a guy who has a basketcase RZ350 for sale. A friend of mine was looking for a 2-stroke race bike, but now the guy is PMing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever got it done it will be a track bike. If the RZ is a good price, grab it up. From what I've seen people are asking almost double now compared to a year ago.

redkow97 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 It's in a lot of different boxes, and he's asking $1,000. Let me know if you want his contact info. I can't put together a bike that is this far disassembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
