Dos Piston Rojo race, 2013.

needs a shit ton of work. No spark, possibly bad points? My guess is simply bad wiring as it was simplified to the point of non existence (set up to run battery-less). Will source a new or used harness, hopefully unmolested, as well as a small battery. The petcock is totally fucked as well. New chain and back tire, but will get it fired up before that stuff. Kicking it over reveals great compression. Uno Piston Rojo?

That thing is rad! Can't wait to hear it coming down the hill full tilt at my house!

Presumably the parts bike is too pretty for pictures?

I don't have the parts bike just yet, but soon I believe. Gonna hold off on buying any parts yet til I see what I get. I think it's pretty much a mess however. I ca't wait to hear it either!

and It will be getting a different paint job this winter, either by Danno or mr. krylon. This is not going to be a restoration, but kept at AMA regs and updated where I can. It will get beaten up, dropped, flogged, and loved. Kinda like all my bikes :)

Color looks setup for us military types. I dig it. I have fond memories of 250 4-strokes...I used to bomb around on one as a kid when I spent my summers in Canada at my cousins house.
