Yamaha TW200 DUAL PURPOSE description

My third one, set up for exploring ghost towns, mining sites, and fossil hunting this fall. Couple heart attacks slammed the door on that. The first two each lasted over a decade, used in enduro competition, trail riding, dunes, a couple road trips (one from Sacramento to San Francisco) Had the dealer deliver with 15 tooth countershaft sprocket. Experience showed that ya won't notice the difference off road, but enables actual use of first gear, AND buzzes along at indicated 65mph all day. (not tried on this one) hence the windscreen extension and hand guards, both proven over many years with the other two. Tail trunk is a 1 button pop off, don't leave home without it ;-) Oil changed at 100 miles in Jan, was waiting for 300 before using synthetic. (oil and filter included) Has been ridden short distances since to keep adding fresh gas and continue breaking in. Decals on front are peel off, but they look cool, and have contact info from a rider support network.

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC. It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching. I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration. Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience. I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love. And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor. The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more. I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects out there so why not have a go yourself?

This Is How You Ride A 125cc Two-Stroke + Video

Fri, 09 May 2014

It’s too bad two-stroke motorcycles are quickly declining. The lightweight and hard-hitting machines are a blast to ride. They’re all but gone from the street scene (thanks emission laws), but thankfully you can still find some on the dirt side.
