Greetings BFTP, INTe Shed, i have a RG500 (now 400 after a grenading motor) and RD350LC - and some modern stuff for when I need something that will start everytime... At the folks place, i also have some Velosolex moped projects, for something different Geoff
Welcome Geoff. A fine taste in bikes you have there - apart from the LC... Jase will be along later to welcome a fellow LC-er (and to abuse me)
Welcome to the shed, have a mug of tea, grab a bikkie and watch the fun I run a part time bike business doing restorations (mainly pre 90's Jap) and race bike building among other stuff. I'm putting a GS550 back on road at moment, building road race outfit and will be starting on a bobber in next couple of months. I've also got a Suzi TS250 to build into a vintage mx'er. Given you've got an LC, RDJase is bound to beat a path to your door faster than you can say :'high speed seizure ' Where abouts are you?
Hi Geoff, Unlike everyone else here, I put petrol in and change the oil and filter, the rest is a bit of a mystery to me (although I'm a slow learner). Nevertheless I enjoy the banter and laughs. I have an 85 CBX750, not many Hondas here. Can't understand why, lol.
Welcome, Geoff. FWIW, the lovely Mrs Headroom owned a low mileage (4,000km) RG400 22 years ago. I thought it was a deceptively fast bike, with very good handling and brakes. Although no doubt overshadowed by some modern bikes, in my mind it remains a very competent, capable package. I recall that several friends test-rode her RG400 at the time, and all were shocked at the performance. I can only imagine what the RG500's performance would be like.
Welcome Geoff. Jace has been busy at Taupo track this weekend. His boy Tyler is a great little peddler. He was getting glares and lots of respect from bigger bike owners as he was harassing them through the twistees. I have a few GS's in the stable, but only 2 road worthy at present.
Welcome Geoff, Nice collection of toys ;-) I saw a RG400 in the weekend, havnt seen one for years, Will post the pics when I get them off my camera. Was going to buy a RG500 15 years ago, something hsappened and it didnt happen Have you got any pics of your bikes to post? Cheers Jase Ps Taupo was a fun weekend, Was good to catch up Ian, Tyler had fun in the medium group on his FXR, A guy on a 600 came over and talked to him and said hes riding his "400" well, as Tyler takes off his helmet and he see's hes a 13 year old and Tylers tells him its a 150 was classic. Time for MORE POWER !
Welcome . So you did get the grenade rebuilt then. Jolly good. All just part of life's rich tapestry.
Some RG400 pics posted now, 77 year old Curly Mickelson's race bike and My 13 year old son Tyler's FXR150 from Taupo in the weekend Not sure how to make the pics smaller
