I've spent some time going through Ralf Scholtes' inventory of motorcycle material. I'll list some of the bigger items here and you can correspond with me on some of the details. -Drixton/Honda 500/450 in almost completed mode -Suzuki 550GS stored well, extra head and barrel (new pistons it looks li...

Thanks T: I will do that. Easily done.

Dang new camera - files too big - downsized pic.

Its looking the best I can make it and sounds fast too. From previous post, thanks for everybody's help in getting it ready to go.

Thanks to everybody I stole ideas from - I took so many pictures at the shows this year - and did some work for me too.

Can't download a pic right now, but you'll see it at the track.

Sorry Al: My bad - just slipped the flywheel that came out of there was heavvvy.

Mr. M - good morning More pics when I actually accomplish something. Each piece is being worked on and I hope to have a standing bike next week. Al Lyllof has the motor, pistons and ignition, finished this week, new clutch plates and springs when I get it back - I've made new rear sets, am painting ...

It won't be orange again, but I'm still working on the colours. I looked at the silver frame because there was a racer this year, really fast, Honda 4 cyli...

Hi Tim: No fairing for me. I was thinking about a sleeker tank though, but haven't started any shopping/research to see if anything would fit on my stock frame. I've seen some of the 70's Honda racers and they all have silver frames and the Honda Red with white panels on the tank. That was my first ...

Hi Graham: Good catch. Reminds me of the time I couldn't get the bike started. I didn't put the needles back in the carbs.....

Like I said, I'm making a serious run for the middle of the pack.....and I want to finish races too.

Sounds like my problems through the last 3 years. I'm looking forward to getting that done, and not having a big battery aboard.

Hi Dan: and I forgot about the transmission. No changes there except maybe some new clutch plates. May have been my imagination, but I think I felt some slippage when conditions were right in certain corners this summer. Have never touched them before, so it might be time.
