#1 I am selling all my stuff- se other post... Made me think how it started...


Why did I do RD's Only- I retired,  had Shit loads of money and followed my dreams
  Made money for 5 years,RDs Only  Then was a charity builder, just to see it go.
Moved to TX made enough to keep business open for 3 years. Changed to teaching owners.

https://yamahard-treacher.com/  charity site most don't/ know about..
  Lost money, Why the Fuck am I doing this... Concentrated on investing -Did well keep open the shop.
  People are stupid I gave away knowledge for free, most had no clue what I did.
     Reinvented race tuning- had 5 guys- 2 payed... FUCK  IT stooped, hurt my back other family things interfered. Just stopped...
  To date got rid of 8 year in shop parts- customer RZ350 tune up/restoration [due I charge him?] I am glad it is out of my shop...
1 left RD400d to busy to care RD owner....

     I can teach,I know what to do- stock To 60hpRD. Been there done that. I do not feel I am a value any more.

I talk to a lot of old 2T folks that are done as well where are the kids that want to learn????
  I am not the Top of the Heep but I talk to them- they are like me Hurt/ ailing trying to keep on. I am at the Fuck it point, I am retired my back is now fine, I tune for $$$ mostly race bikes. I do not want my name out there but we are doing well.

What I have Done and what I can do - is mute I am done...

No one gives a shit so I don't as well

    I love 2T till I die a bean oil sparking SOB that rides it like is is stolen is my guy..  Good customer tried to blow my rebuild motors, I loved them for that only one fraged [he was cheap did not do crank]- Funny I would not rebuild his motor and did not charge him [$800] but I did take the pistons,pins hell I bought them.

Making a customer grin ear to ear was fun- the other ass hole made me quit...

  Got the T shirt wore it out.. nuf said

Sounds like you're in a rough place, JT, and I get what you're saying. It was hard for me to work in the motorcycle industry because customers so often were of the put-gas-in-and-go mindset; no interest in how their machines worked, in the industry, in motorsports. I'm happier doing something else and being involved with like-minded people where I find them.
The next generation, generally, is not interested in two-strokes and not really in internal combustion engines. I believe we are the last group to celebrate these things, and it's just the way of the world; change is inevitable.
My  :twocents:? Sell your stuff if you must, do what you love for and with those who feel as you do and enjoy the ride. As far as I know, this is the only life we get. Hang in there, brother  :thumbs:
I post waayyy too much

My passion is free energy I have a new friend in 1 mw nuclear self sustained energy. How Sustained is the key, as needed- demand increase not quite[sustainably] there.
Many different Tesla units I have made a few are impressive but cost .out radius. 

Shits coming no grid... I am 1st in TX to get a NU unit for my block 10KM install 2m insurance... 2 mill is cheap-have no clue what this is.. Me on property 0 monthly$ 16 other unit setts I control [25 limit]. Liability on me.. Selling house 2022 so not sure if it will go- guy helping me is all in probably buy house- property.

SO Yey kid will not understand the simplicity of 2 strokes, there is a beauty of 2 stroke balance. I love finding in RD's., All power needs to be tuned to optimize it's output , was a LASER optimization specialist. Also an X-Ray efficiency guy.
Alpha-Omega [relay Beta]. Frequencies 2t chamber or stock frequencies I can tune
  Upper shit I used to do is all the same Max output, goal we seek.

Probably to much info to answer your q... Love science 2 stroke stepping stone for me...

I mean I'm 32, going on 33 here in 2 months. I love the old 2t bikes. Just wish I had tons of cash to spend. I don't unfortunately. The housing market has priced me out of owning a home anytime soon. A market correction is looming, and inflation rates mean I can barely afford groceries at most stores.

Yay. So what do I do?

Sold the row boat, sold the Suzuki (to pay for a stupid mistake), selling off odds and ends. All hedging against the inevitable. Here's hoping the Rd isn't on the chopping block next.

My wife and daughter and I were talking about all the stupid shit the two of us used to do on motorcycles when we were kids.

At least I don't have to worry about my daughter following in my footsteps, kids today just don't care about motorcycles.

They don't even care about cars either. Most of the teenagers I know haven't bothered to even get a drivers license even at 16 17 18 years old.
