[daniel_250r]

it is a pointless thread but the fact that they will be up builds the suspense lol

[saleen_n_around]

It might seem pointless, but is keeping me amused while I a finishing this 600 mile drive to go get it! Hell I only saw it for 10 mins and been stepping on the brake and turning the cargo light on for the last 250 miles........let me have some fun while everyone else waits in suspense til I can get some pics up.....trust me I am more excited than any of you.....I even hopeed in the bed and fired it up at the gas station......44* out and it started on the second kick....

Wow, 20 posts and I haven't even showed a pic yet!

Well, it's after midnite and I just got in. I am going to throw some teeaser pics in, and Brap, they are useable I guess in a pinch, but it took a tumble out the back of a truck at some point in its life, and they are stiched with zip ties....and faded to hell....I never knew a red tank could fade out to white....

I hope I didn't piss anyone off but I posted this entire thing while driving at 75 mph to St Louis and back to look at this thing. Just figured I'd have fun and stir the pot while driving....it's always exciting when someone has a good find....I bought it from the 3rd owner of 2 years, and the second owner owned it since 1989. When it took the truck tumble, it bent the axle, so now it has a dura-blue axle under it with good bearings.

Anyway, here are just a couple of pics I snapped before I went in. It's getting a bath tomorrow and then we'll see where we're at.





I also drug this home on Saturday....which one to start on....I wonder...lol

Took it out of the back of the truck this morn and fired it up......I'll say this- I AIN"T NO 200X!!! LOL!! Coulcn't be happier and it's stock. I weigh 250 and I can't keep it on the ground....I LOVE IT! Wife's coming home today, so I have to clean the house, not sure how much timeI'll get to play with it today.

I looked the front fender over, and at one time it had the Hondaline Fender extension on it, but it's long gone....Going to need a complete headlight assy and at least one strap.

[saleen_n_around]

Hell it was 11 hours of torture there and back....! And then had to sleep on it....well, not really on it!

[ATC-Eric]

Is it just me, or does the front rake look off?

[Russell 350X]

Its about time you got pics up lol jk, looks good, needs some TLC but has good potential.

[saleen_n_around]

Well, I got it washed off at the local spray wash, they actually have warm water for their spray bays, so it's psuedo-steam cleaning. Cleaned up decent, but has a lot of work to do. I think I have some issues with the forks, as I said it took a tumble at some point in it's life, but the trees are either twisted or I hope not the neck, and I think I have a bent fork tube prob.....pics are uploading...

[saleen_n_around]

Here we go, eDog style......who does nice work BTW....

Suspect forks.....what do ya'll think?

[saleen_n_around]

Getting ready for it's first bath....
