    Picked this one up today (FBMP) from Ormond Beach...40 minute drive away, so easy transport.

    It's the Rambo bike from "First Blood"!

    Not in the greatest condition but it runs and is rideable!

    I already own one I bought a few years ago so now have two. I love enduros and having the Rambo bike is pretty cool, even if it will require some work to get back into shape.

    Cool. Great engines.

    Pro tip: Careful strapping over the seat like that, it can damage the upholstery.

    Ha - I was actually concerned not to damage the exhaust where the strap went over the heat shield there but it was winched down so hard I felt OK about it.

    Engine runs good.........

    Cool stuff right there. You should paint the tank like the Rambo bike!
