Ran by my storage units this afternoon to check on my bikes. Wanted to run the (other) Blue bike to make sure it still ran OK. Started and ran...
Bought some Shoei keyrings from eBay seller in Japan. A 6 helmet set - assorted colours. I knew it would take a while for them to arrive but...
Thanks, Capt! Yeah - when I first took these carbs off the Yellow bike and the throttles wouldn't budge, I thought they wouldn't be restorable....
