I mucked around on a Yamaha RXS100 and RD350 around the Chelmsford-Harlow area. I went to College at Writtle so had a few mates/girlfriends round there. Taking a bird on the back over the flyover over that roundabout at night and in the cold is the best at 17. They squeeze you so tight cos they're both cold and scared shitless :lol:

Now hurry up and finish it so you can take birds out on the back!

Well i have made up my mind and have decided that i shall have the rest of the parts shotblasted, mainly to speed things along. Just the swingarm he is asking £20 which i feel is reasonable will have the rest priced tomorrow.

Im expecting it to be around 50-60. Will be nice to be able to skip a step and not worry about stripping it.


Also managed to get the shocks apart and will be geting the springs cleaned up. then will take the rack later in the rebuild
