Inspiration for Dan

Pretty sure Boyle races a bike very similar to the one you just scored.
if you remember, he's the dude in 6 Over that had the shattered leg then the DAY he was cleared to walk without a crutch, he went and raced. His blog is can be found here...BCM Dave is currently rocking one of his air cleaners on his sportster turd project. Remember, next saturday is Aztalans swap, in case you need any of those hard to find parts and accessories. like a title.

Ground Score...1971 Suzuki TS250 2 Smoker

Whilst driving from the wood recycler I happened upon this laying in a pile with other stuff that looked destined for the scrap yard. I whipped the truck around and rung the doorbell. Further explanation by the "wife" describes the age old story of good intentions from the husband to get this running. It was found by him and he diagnosed that it was easily fixable. Being a married man myself I knew I had a good chance to take this home when she answered the door..."get that thing outta my yard". So I gladly obliged.

 Throttle twists and returns smoothly, wheels roll freely, mint metzler rear knobby, straight frame and front end and brakes work like a charm. A quick peep inside the oil filler reveals nothing but good clean metal.  Kicker doesnt want to move so we'll see whats going on there but I have my fingers crossed.

Slimey Crud Run fall 2012

This CB450 police bike was neat to see, at first.  But later on the road I kept seeing it and kept seeing it, doing 35 in a 55 in front of me, and even slower through curves.  It would've been easier to pass if it hadn't been at the back of a line of what I assumed were old men who like to restore more than ride.  Dan and Dave were certain they were hipsters who just graduated from mopeds, but the helmet choice visible here is making that a little hard to believe for me.  Whoever they are, I hope they learn how to ride their motorcycles.
