My TLR is ready to roll. Added a Penske rear shock and got the cush drive bushing dilema sorted out ( I hope).
The TZ250 is another story.
Bought new Bridgestone slicks, tire warmers
sending the rear shock and forks out for service/springs/fluid
need to have the spare crank shaft rebuilt
need spare pistons/rings/bearings for a new top end before springtime
Looking for a spare gas tank and Marchesini magnesium wheels for a new paintjob for the bike
paint work-not a priority, but I would like to paint the spare set of bodywork in the spring
powder coat new wheels once I find a set
Bought a spare radiator, clip ons and a lap timer holder.
Crap, I need a bigger trailer already...
