So summer is about to be in full swing, so there are going to be a lot of posts about my projects... Yes the motorcycles. So I figure I should make introductions now. Photos to come in the next few days.
Susan is a 1983 Suzuki Gs650gl that I am converting from a standard to a cafe racer... Currently she is in the middle of a face lift and lays in many pieces around the garage. But She is my baby and my pride.
Temperance is a 2000 Kawasaki Ninja Ex250 that is Zach's learning bike and is said named because of her lack of will to cooperate... She also lays in pieces across the garage, but fewer and in closer to running condition. It's amazing how much stuff you need to take off of a sport bike to check the fuses, pull of the carbs and switch out the spark plugs.
Tiffany and Britney are our twin Yamaha F600's. Tiffany is a 1985 and Britney is a 1984. They were most recently purchased and are some of the sweetest 80's bikes I have ever seen. Those we are polishing up and selling one and then Zach is upgrading to the other. So for $1000 for the both of them and an estimated $300 more for parts to get them both running nice and plush but not perfect and an estimated sale cost of between $1300 and $1700 a piece I think we are doing alright...
Today Zach and I spent most of the day problem hoping from one bike to the next getting problems fixed until we got frustrated then moved to the next. It was a good day. And like I said, pictures to come.
Hangman out.
