Yamaha Other description

THIS IS A UNIQUE 74 YAMAHA RD 350. I WAS 18 IN 1974. I LOVED MOTORCYCLES BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I COULDN'T AFFORD MUCH. WHEN I WAS OLDER, I DECIDED I'D GET ONE AND TRICK IT OUT JUST LIKE THE GUYS DID BACK THEN. THIS IS WHAT I DID.

1.     BEFORE I RIDE ANY OLD BIKE, I PUT ON THE BEST MODERN TIRES AVAILABLE ($275)
2.     NEW SEAT COVER AND FOAM, AND HAD THE STAINLESS POLISHED ($200)
3.     DG PIPES ($325)
4.     CARRERA REAR SETS ($300+)
5.     AFTER TWO YEARS OF LOOKING, I ACTUALLY FOUND A SET OF SHEET METAL PAINTED IN 1974. IT IS JUST THE COOLEST 2-TONE METAL FLAKE WITH A FADE. THE PAINT HAS A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES OF THE
        TANK (400.00)
6.     I FINALLY FOUND A PERFECT NEW FRONT FENDER ($135)
7.     PREMIX 
8.     FRONT FORKS REBUILT 
9.     I WANTED SOME GOOD QUALITY SHOCKS. I TALKED TO THE ENGINEERS AT WORKS PERFORMANCE. THEY DESIGNED A SLIM LINE SET PERIOD CORRECT AS POSSIBLE. THEY POWDER COATED THEM IN ALL
       BLACK AS OPPOSED TO THE NORMAL CHROME ($425. OUCH)


LASTLY, THE ODOMETER ON THE MOTORCYCLE WAS NOT CORRECT WHEN  I PURCHASED THE MOTORCYCLE. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, THE READING WAS 5,000 MILES AND IT WAS NOT WORKING. I FOUND A VERY NICE USED ONE ON EBAY.

WELL, I HOPE MY BABY FINDS A GOOD HOME. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PART IT OUT IT BUT I WILL IF IT DOESN'T SELL FOR A FAIR PRICE.

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Yamaha has released additional images and a video of its new PES1 electric motorcycle for the concept’s debut at the Tokyo Motor Show. The new photographs, shot at Yamaha’s display at the Tokyo show, show more details about the PES1 concept, which Yamaha first announced earlier this month. The PES1 shares the same electric DC brushless motor, lithium-ion battery and monocoque frame as the PED1 concept which also took its bow in Tokyo.

D'you cover your front brake with a finger?

Bumped into a riding instructor last weekend. Not literally, though, I'm pleased to add.  The road had been closed by a big accident and we'd all been forced into the same coffee/petrol stop together. He had one pupil with him on a 125 Yamaha custom thing.
