Next time you pass thru Williams, stop here for lunch.  Great old-school Italian deli.

Gimme gimme shock treatment.

Great pics, glad you had a good time in out fair city, and I see a few familiar faces in those pics.  Good to see my pal Charlie Tigard.  He comes out to our annual 2T ride every fall.

Thanks also for keeping the 2T faith.  I think your RD500 in a modern chassis is a great way to appeal to the new generation of squids who only know "dirtbikes", "harleys" and "sportbikes", and were born too late to appreciate vintage Japanese bikes of the 70's and '80's.

Thor was in sang-froidridingclub.com back in the day, and my TDR was in the first few One Shows.  I'm really stoked to see how it has blown up and become such a big deal nationwide.  Most motorcycle folks and curious hangers on are looking for something to belong to, I think the One Show fills that void.

I haven't been in a few years.  I should probably check it out.

Thank you for the kind words about our fair city.

Thor has (mostly) good taste in motorcycles.

He knows to put the good shit up front.

Welcome to Portland, Ken!

Looks like Lair Hill neighborhood?

Happy birthday Mark 👍

New facebook posting 75 RD250 not mine, just sharing:

Any other links on this that might be visible without facial book

FBM is where all the action is now. 

CL is dead, Auto Trader and the newspaper classifieds are a thing of the past.

It's worth getting an FB account just so you can use Marketplace.  Easy enough to ignore the rest of it.

Good luck this season, Stephen.

All my OMRRA friends are getting stoked too.  My friend Ryan just got a Kramer, so he is extra stoked.

Sheesh, that's so close to me I'd be a fool not to at least go see it in person.

About 10 years ago, I got an up close and personal view of one of my friends wadding one of these up and sending it cartwheeling down the down the road. So close in fact, I had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit by the bike, and rider.

... And parts aren't really that hard to get.

Dusty's build threads are thee best.

Drew has the right info.

Should mention UPP manifolds are flat-backed without ears, and go straight on without trimming.

I had a tough time getting trimmed stock manifolds to seal.

Sorry Dennis. 😢

My Flora is my best bud and goes everywhere with me.

I'd be devastated without her.

6v6, DeLuxe Reverb?

That's what I thought, too.

... and yeah, what Russ said. 400's all had a disc in back, never drum, regardless of market. And all US market 400s had cast wheels, no spokes.
