old bikes

I love the older bikes. I'm redoing my second 1975 xr 75. :icon_welder:
My son learned to ride on the first one I did. That was 12 years ago. I put some new parts on my Vulcan last saturday.

Rings are easy on the 2 smokers. I just did a set on my 250R 3 wheeler. Had it done in about an hour and a half. Check you reeds for breaks and chips while you re there and look at the throttle cable to make sure it is not fraying.

I have an 86 ATC 250R

Unless you are dead set on an R I have a buddy in Memphis with an 87 Tecate 3 for $2100. Rebuilt from the ground up and flawless. I can get pics if you want.

Hell for that matter....I'm going to St. Joes State park in Missouri next weekend (Aug 20 and 21) riding. Get the bike fixed and meet me there.

Sweet looking bike, mate. Bald to hear you liked your xr100, music. I've been thinking of getting one of those to goof off on this winter.
