Hello from an Old 2 Stroker

Hello All,
I'm new to the forum (obviously if I'm posting here). Not new to bikes at all. I've owned a bike since '85. I've only ever owned 2 bikes. Both happen to be Yamaha parallel twins. The first an '81 LC (Elsie) and the second/current '87 RZ350. I've had it from (almost) day 1. I bought it off a squid in '87. He was one of those guys that thought bikes were cool, but just didn't have enough respect for one. His loss=my gain. I'm not going to go into the history. If you're interested, I have a current build page on another forum.

I'm a builder, not a restorer. Sorry, you vintage purists will hate me - but that's OK.

I don't currently ride, but that will change next spring/summer, as I'm in the home stretch of my build. I haven't been on a bike consistently since '94. This will be crazy getting on my bike for the first time next year as I'll essentially be a new rider on a completely new bike - fun times. Lol

I thought Id join, to see what the 'local' group is up to. I'm hoping to learn some stuff and contribute as well.

Welcome!

Welcome Jeff - my first street bike was an 82 RD350 LC (stock except reeds), 2nd one was an 81 RD350 LC (bored to 410, boysen reeds, micron expansion chambers) and my 3rd was an 87 RZ 350 (boysen reeds, wolf expansion). Loved all three of them greatly and would love to get another one. Good luck with your build!

CanuckD, looks like we've shared some of the same bikes. It's funny, this one has taken me so long to build, that I almost bought an R1 a few years ago. Even if I had bought an R1, I wouldn't have been able to part with my RZ. I've got the 2T bug and I don't think I'll ever be able to shake it. I'd still buy an R1, but I'll always be a smoker at heart.

BTW - thanks for the welcome.

Hi Gammaguy21,

Nice to see a familiar name on this board. I did notice Nokturnal is here too. I haven't gone looking for others, I'm sure I'll run into them at some point.

Thanks for the welcome buddy.
