Turning Wrenches / Stuck ring?
Today at 10:45:51 AM
76 RD400. Stage 2 Chuck build. Forged Wiseco pistons. 
My bike had been down on power for a while.
I have an appt with DR Quinzler on the 6th to swap pistons in hopes of fixing the issue.
I noticed when I took the top end off only the upper ring was free. I see a bottom one but it is stuck tight to the piston. Bolts sides. This cannot be right can it?
I also noticed what looks to be oil on the crank does not look like 2 stroke oil.
It has been sitting for months.

That really is a really nice looking R5.

Chuck had a how to at one point, not sure if it is on this form or the old one. I don't see it on his page but it was step by step.

General Chatter / New Mazda 2 stroke

This is, in my opinion crazy cool. Thinking way out side of the box and using existing ideas all the same time.

I personally have never seen this. I have never seen anything even close to this. To me it really shows a great view and sound of riding on of these.

What the hell is this thing? (Photo). Reminds me of the "Cursed Guns" guy on YouTube. I think I almost went blind looking at it.

Oh. A chopper. Explained here:

It looks like a lot of the right parts in the wrong order. ...Event that requires a max budget of $1000. Yeah right, there 3 times that in parts alone here. Somebody likes it :busey: To each his own...

What statement does this make to you guys? It's "art". That makes it OK.

second place in not my cup of tea RD.
Number one is that green Daytona that keeps popping up for sale.

I had a great time. 3rd year.
It was the year of the water buffalo for sure. Also the year of the collapsed pop up tents. I had 2 of them collapse myself.
I was able to look over Marks awesome light weight. What a cool bike. Little bits and pcs that did not go together but looked perfectly in place.

already looking forward to next year.

When I was 16 I went to a car show. Someone had a go cart with an R5 motor in it.
It was just the little small wheel go cart. Man I wanted to drive that so bad.

I went up in Sep alone with one of my non-2stroke bikes. I stayed at 2 wheel inn. They have a small garage for each room you can put your bike in. Like Mark said, about 20 or so min to the gap. Price was great and room was OK.

when I pained my bike, I told the guy what I was going for (Competition yellow) and he had me come look at what he found. I was a yellow from a Honda Civic.
close enough for me.
