Bump!
It's bike time!
I've had a few bikes over the years, and sold all but my old CBR1000F.
I've had this one for almost 15yrs now and it's taken me a lot of places (including 1900 miles from PA to TN/NC in like 5 days) but it's time to upgrade. It's served me well.
I like sport touring bikes...
That's awesome, man. I've thought about trying to find and restore an old xr80, too. Something cool about those simple, all metal bikes.

You need a new phone, man! I just got this Motorola g7 from boost for my personal phone for under 100 and its not bad at all. Battery is great. Granted, I haven't used the video yet.
Maybe I'll get a vid tomorrow morning. I really need to do some yard work bad, but definitely going to be...
Ah, thumpers.
My first one was a 1980 xr80 I got from my buddy's dad. It was parked behind his shed with the pegs broken off (stump wreck...lol) and it had a hole in the case.
I beat the kickstarter with a hammer while my dad was at work and it finally loosened up. Then the damn thing started...
We're like puff brothers, man.
I think it has something to do with relative humidity or barometric pressure. :D

Come on, man, you gotta feel it!
Reminds me of this time I had to do a timing belt on an 87 Accord in an Arby's parking lot and I was a tooth off.
Good times. :D

A little puff of freedom!! :D
Seriously, though, I get why people do it.
I tried to shut up the valve tap on an old Toyota 22re. That was silly, tedious, and pointless. Lol

Just seems a little monotonous and time consuming.
One cylinder at a time, bring the piston up, fill with air, spring, retainer, seal, repeat.
That's like a lot of things to do. Lol....

I can understand that. My project started simply because it's a square body (and that's what I want), but I know exactly what you mean. The more I tear in to shit, the more I find.
I just found out the input seal to the transaxle is leaking now, and this front end noise is driving me nuts.
As...
A cloud on startup? That's a good thing. It just means your valve seals are keeping everything nice and lubricated. :D

Well that ain't a cheap date. Lol..
It would be fun as hell, though, unless you start breaking other shit. :D

I wonder how much boost this old fucker could handle?
I'm gonna be looking up compression specs tonight, and probably end up drinking beer and drilling holes in my oil pan. Lol

I think there are like 3 different tanks over those years in 2 different sizes.
Senders are different, and my 87 has the in tank pump for tbi.
Not a terrible price, but Spectra tanks for my truck are $80 each shipped on Amazon right now and senders are about $40 or 50.

I've always loved 4x4 vans.
I had a 93 g20 (not 4x4) and I'm actually looking at one now.
Mine had the flexsteel seats, track lighting, mood lighting, blinds, etc etc. Back seat folded in to a bed. Good ol 350.
I woke up so many different places in that thing with so many...
