Found this at a local yard sale a few weeks ago.

What I did was change head and base gaskets on my 400.
I was chasing an exhaust leak and found it between my head and cylinder about a month ago.
I failed to check head bolts.
My buddy Chuck Supertune came up for a visit. He helped (ok did it) change gaskets.
After he was done we went for a little ride.
Went from my house in Newnan (south of Atlanta) to LaGrange and West Point lake.
To Callaway Gardens then  Pine Mountain / FDR park little White House.  Then to Gay GA and back to Newnan. 190 miles in about 5 hrs. All back roads.
Bike ran much better. Bask gasket likely was blown out from my not checking it.
Next day was rain and Chuck spend a few hours tweaking my bike (jetting and front end) and teaching me about jetting. Wow. A lot to understand how all of the jets work together and what jets effect what symptoms.
Next day we only rode 60 miles. We waited until it warmed up to 50 degrees.
My bike it so much smother with the very small jet change he made.
Great weekend!

I put the seat back on my RD so my boy could sit on it. He's gotten really into stretching out over the tanks and acting like he's riding.

Nice! My kids never cared. None ride. And honestly that is a good thing for me.
Too dangerous unless you ride defensively all the time.  I have no idea why my mom let me get one at 15 and a half with a learners permit.
Teach him well.

Picked up my LC cyls from Garrett.

Getting ready to pack 'em up for shipping to EE.



... and yeah, my 10yo daughter loves to go for rips around the neighborhood on my bikes with me.  She really wants a minibike or something.  Too big for a PW50, but I've been looking for a cheap one to get her out on.  Seems like the tiny size and twist'n'go power would be a soft entry for her.

Rad!  That's an OG classic, and not a re-issue.  Prob worth some pretty good money if you're looking to flip it.   Curtis Hsaing and Bill Hanley killed the local NorCal backyard pools on those decks.  That's a real survivor, great score!

The Douglas only brought $135ish on Ebay.  A little disappointing, but I'm deep into SELL EVERYTHING mode, so relying on volume, not individual sales.

LOL. might have to sell my daughter's Redline Proline JR next.  :devil:

Popped a few wheelies! I'm starting to wonder how long I'll keep any of the "other" kinds of bikes I have.
Every day above ground is a good one.

Love the board sales for 2stroke works!
It is hard for me to let go of boards.
I have been breaking down my RD350 AIR/LC.
I kept trying to ride it. And, the tires are toast. Plus, the water pump is done.
Also, the last picture shows the split down tube. And, I have ripped the motor mounts multiple time. The right side has a whole new mount.
Mixing gas, and hauling a$$!!!

Disassembled a front brake caliper for my RD project, ordered seal kit and pistons.

Did I order pads? Banjo bolt? Bleeder screw? Pins? No! WTF was I thinking...? :bang:
