Yamaha Seca description

For sale is a 1982 Canadian version of the Yamaha Seca Turbo XJ650LJ. It has not run in..well, a few years - 2008. The turbo will need to be rebuilt/replaced as blew blue. uhh. The carbs will need work or rebuilt. The motor was good. The bike could be converted to a non-blown version. The XJ650 and XS650 and some 750's from that era use a LOT of the same parts, engine, brakes chassis..R1 brakes will go on these bikes. The front brake calipers and lever/ fluid reservoir have been used to rehab a US turbo I recently sold, as well as some of the screws to mount the plastic to the bike, but these are easily found in stainless steel (nice) at any decent hardware store (I am replacing the screws on a bmw w/ stainless = sharp). The plastic is good except for a bit of a lower where it (I) tipped over in a gravel driveway. The paint and striping and emblems are in nice /very nice condition. The shield is slightly yellowed. The seat has a 1 inch crack. The 1 key will not turn the lock on the gas tank, but the ignition is free and slick (better than the US bike I sold) as are the little side storage panels in the fairing. The gas line is cut. No battery. Front tire leaks from sitting (holds air for a few days), rear is worn but ride-able. Easy to roll around. Hey - it can have historical plates.. age happens. . Yeah - so I now see it MAY be a parts bike - sob...:( .

The speedo is a 240kph (150mph) unit. I'd wanted to swap it with my daily ride as back then the US was only allowing 85mph on the US versions (ie; the one I rode for years and sold). These are Unique! There were 3800 into N.America (US & CAN) and I sold my US version. I have never seen another Canadian Turbo on eBay nor parts. 29755 KILOMETERS ~ 18,490MILES. Clear OH title.

Here are some pics. Ask for more if desired

Hipsters: How not to live your life

I have to start this piece by stating that I'm not from London. I may work here but I grew up in a remote North Western market town where people were (rightly) suspicious of anything or anybody new. Back to London.

Isle of Man TT 2013: Dainese Superbike Race Results

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

It was delayed by a day but the Isle of Man TT’s Dainese Superbike race finally went underway Sunday. Originally scheduled to open the 2013 Isle of Man TT, the race was pushed back a day because poor weather earlier in the week prevented proper practice and qualifying. Even then, the Superbike race was delayed 45 minutes from its rescheduled start time due to a traffic accident.
