Right? Shut up and tell me about the bike! RZ350. Carbs done and set up nicely with Toomey pipes, etc. Topped out at an indicated 120. Perfect. They were going for $5k then (now who the hell knows. (9? 10??). Motor seized after less than 1000 miles. Sucks. Well as long as I'm throwing money around let's bore it out. Now it's a 421. Power valve gone and HUGE EXPANSION CHAMBERS. Their Banshee 421 Special. RZ's Unlimited In LA Area. Hope they all burn in hell. Couple hundred miles after the upgrade, seizure. According to the owner "well yes, you also need an R6 radiator and 2 fans. Also not the expansion chambers are getting shredded on the asphalt around corners. I'm not the fastest guy in the world but they were disintegrating after 100 or so miles. Fewer. So I had Einstein fix the motor again and weld metal guards over the chambers where they scraped. . No idea what else to do. Idiot did ONE side and called it good. Also took the better part of a year all told. Problem is the shop is 100 miles from me so I had to believe all the lies he told me not being able to see for myself what was going on. In total put perhaps 9-10K into that bike for a POS that seized a 3rd time. I should have run it through their shop window called it in for stolen and collected insurance. Instead I stayed out of jail. But it wasn't easy. Very bad shop. Very very very bad. Did have a man/cage driver find me a half hour after passing him when I was stopped for coffee and ask me if I was the one who passed him. Pointing to the bike. Why yes that would have been me. He thanked me profusely. brought back decades old memories of wonderful 2 stroke sounds, sights and smells that had him rejoicing the whole time. Not quite worth $10,000. But $50 at least, for the smile... :-)))))))) -- All things in moderation (Especially moderation).
