my recent RD350 purchase has been stealing any ounce of spare time I had remaining. this weekend, lex and i managed to disassemble the bike down to the frame, clean up every piece we could get our hands on and finally puzzle it back together.



next up, is the engine work....

RD350

picked up a non-running '73 RD350 today. the price was too good to pass up. just needs a top end rebuild. these things have buckets of power for their size.

i didn't waste much time getting into her. gave her a quick bath, pulled the carbs and cleaned 'em up. got the battery on the charger overnight. i'll see if i can get her firing tomorrow. i'll be doing wheelies in no time..


dirtier than dirt. and apparently someone thought it'd be cool to paint them carbs black

clean(er)

what the hell is in carb cleaner? christ

it's great to see these strong masculine machines fruition from a softer feminine personality; they seem to balance each other out.

the start of something new

the beginning has always been my favourite; movie trilogys, bike builds, races, relationships, whatever.... it has so much potential. the feeling of heading into the unknown is impossible to translate. so shut the fuck up, swing a leg over and hold on tight......
