·Hello everyone,
I'm new to this board and just wanted to say a quick hello. I live in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) and enjoy restoring old (classic/vintage) motorcycles for a hobby. So far I have several two stroke Yamahas (1971 R5 350, 1976 Rd 400, 1979 RD 400 Daytona Special) for "scooting" about town (although with the modifications I've done on the engines, intakes, carbs and expansion chambers they tend to "scream" more than scoot!) and a 1972 Suzuki GT750 water buffalo for highway cruising.
I am also the Chaplain for the Edmonton chapter of the the Christian Motorcyclists Association and enjoy meeting bikers at various events (like the CMDRA drags and rallies, etc.) as well as just from chance encounters on the road. Especially riding old "classic" bikes I find I get a lot of people stopping to chat about how they had one just like it when they were young or knew a friend with one, etc. If nothing else, keeping these old gals on the road helps me remember that old (like me at 51!) doesn't necessarily mean useless.
Hope to meet some interesting people on this forum as well. I have been hanging out at the usa2strokers.com forum for a while and have really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world through the wonder of internet.
Any other old time two stroke lovers on this forum?
Cheers,
