I have not been able to ride my bike for a while now, and it needs some work. I am considering selling it, and actually had it on Craig's List Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:55:17 GMT Randy http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/yamahads6/message/56 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/yamahads6/message/56 picked up an old Yamaha 2 stroke. anyone know good parts sources? its a 180 twin. any other good websites? Thank you, Randy Thu, 09 Apr 2009 12:18:43 GMT Leach, Jim http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/yamahads6/message/55 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/yamahads6/message/55 I think it is a super-cool bike now. The ricers and the harley guys all respect it when it rolls up. It's a nice feeling!
