First picture of my junk

Inside the shop

Where my knowledge of rust comes from

Welcome to real rust

not junk ....WIP

How about you jump in the Healey, and come hang out with us at Okteenerfest on Saturday? You can talk 914s with all the people there. You don't have to be at the event to tag along for the drives....

And I would love to see the Healey in person.

It's only 5 hours...

I’ll look into that, I suspect my car of choice would be my 914 though... I’m really enjoying the thing

Love your shop! Is that an RD?

Lots of cool stuff there. 914 is in good company. That bike looks dangerously fun.

Did you just buy that black and red 914 out of Arizona? I test drove that car back in 89-90 lol

Sorry.. I didn't think it was running. By all means, bring the 914. The more the merrier!!!

Yes it was bought out of Tucson

I should have had you look at it ... you remember who owned it back then?

It was actually at the Porsche dealership(Willis?). Paint was fresh, brakes were bad
I drove about 5-6 different cars before I bought mine back in July of 90 so it had to be either early 90 or late 89.

How fun is that? It was just on your Craig’s list last month... I had it shipped here to Alabama. Having restored a number of cars I’ve gotten to the point that things need to start out fairly good to begin with. This ones brakes are actually fairly good... ( keep in mind I’m used to a Healey’s manual drums )

yes it’s an RD350 that was modified back in the 70’s-80’s.... very nice little bike... I buy and sell bikes as a hobby and it along with a few more will be sold at Barber this October

Any interest in seeing the. Others?

BUMMER the Octeenerfest is the exact same week as Dragweek and I’m the Race Director so it’s not like I can cancel.... hmmm. Nahhh been doing it to long... maybe another year

Looks like a nicely set up garage!!!!!!

Yes please!

My real gig is buying junk that’s not run in years and making it work.... it just makes me snicker. Here are a couple bikes I’ve saved recently

Nice collection... helped my brother get a '79 650 SR going about 2 years ago that hadn't run for at least 20 years. Was about a year or 2 old when he bought it. He got bit by the bug... bought another one and then a newer bike too.

YES! I've had a few and still have a '74 RD400. Also have a "72 500 triple. Widow makers little brother...

Love the 500. Just the right size. I've got a 74 here in town I've managed to avoid. My buddy did the engine to include crank seals and it's just a tick to nice for me
