i dig that 350. why are the shocks upside down?

That's the way they are intended to be mounted, I guess?

Two Strokes emerge!   And one washed and rolled into the garage!
The Benelli Cobra was given to me in 1990 because it had no spark.  We shall (finally!) see about that!

You are a true two stroke fetishist! Benelli, Husky and Bultaco! That's awesome!

90 I thought I procrastinated.

Czakky, I do love the hit of high performance 2T power!  (Dig your R5!)  I do have a few 4Ts though:

'55 Indian Woodsman (re-badged Royal Enfield Bullet 500cc) basket case, needs magneto re-capped.
'82 KZ750 ELR tribute project that need it's carbs rebuilt and a
'70 MTD 3.5hp Tecumseh powered, torque converter minibike (for sale probably).

Turns out the Benelli besides no spark, doesn't have power to the head/tail circuits.  So I took the switch apart for cleaning and inspection.  Nothing obvious yet.  Stop and horn are working.  Here's a photo of a T shirt I think is hilarious:

Cut the grass with my 1994 Lawn Boy Gold Series F 2 cycle engine. Had a newly sharpened high lift blade with mulch fan, new spark plug, and cleaned and oiled filter in my remote filter kit. Cut grass like butter. Then blew my grass off driveway with my Hitachi 2 cycle blower. At the same time, was running my ultrasonic cleaner on some brake calipers I will fully rebuild to sell. I also have another LB 2 cycle Gold DuraForce mower, a commercial landscaper Toro 2 cycle that is Suzuki powered, and a Snapper Wisconsin Robin that is currently not running. My driveway edger is a Stihl stick, string trimmer is a Hitachi, have another McCollough blower, and hedge edger is a Weedeater brand all 2 cycle. Only my pressure washer is a 4 stroke Honda!

Went to a co-worker's house to pick up a Craftsman mower deck and came home with a '72 Suzuki TC125. I don't know how this happens...they just seem to follow me home.

Washed and retreated the DWR on my Aerostich Darien for the season. I'm bored  think I'll retreat to the garage after dinner for a cigar and cuppa joe.

D, it is FULL CUSTOM! It's been leaning against a fence in Doty, Washington just a couple of miles from Brad Baker's home & track for a couple (few?) decades.



It needs way more than I'm willing to put into it, but it's kind of fascinating

I did about 40 miles of socially distant woods riding in the Tillamook State Forest.

Staging areas were packed as it's currently the only place to ride on this side of the State.   Plenty of room in the trails as soon as you got out there a bit.

Wow!  Beautiful!   :vroom:

We are supposed to stay within 10 miles of home in Colorado.   :taz:

Got the Benelli fired up yesterday...  blew out 30 years of cobwebs!
This morning I have to do some plumbing repairs at my wife's place, but then after some maintenance it should be wheelie time!
