And So It Begins/2-Stoke Tuesday



This is a special TST because it marks the end of one era (always wishing I had one) and the beginning of another (being a 2stroke bike owner).



Selling my Sporty to get it was painful but I think worth it. After calling 3 different dudes and asking them an endless number of (mind numbingly boring for them, i'm sure) questions I settled on this '84 4500 original mile Yamaha RZ350.



I used to have a magazine when I was a kid with this bike in it that I would take to school and read the same article over and over and over. I memorized that thing. After riding it for a few days I can honestly say its even better than I imagined as a snot nosed kid. Thank you 2stroke Jesus.

Nice score! I had a yellow/black Kenny Roberts edition for a short time. Still trying to figure out why I sold it.

It's been great so far, minus the old tires. Did a little canyon shred and the thing rips, stoked!
