CR vs Wr 1982 250

My wife will kill me if I bring any more bikes home. Luckily I have an extra tank for the CR. It is pretty tho.
Norm, maybe I could ride your WR when you get it up and running. Love the way this one handles.

she won't kill maybe not speak to you for a day or 3 but that could be a good thing

I had 14 Husqvarnas when my misses said no more. No more means buy more right. In a short time I had 25. Never heard a word abut it. I was broke but happy after all sitting in the shop they don't eat much. No poop to pickup. I just couldn't pass them up.

We only pass this way once no mulligans in life.

Most certainly Pete.

I'm running out of room in my garage I have a couple of bikes and quads to sell, then...
A Rickman 125 is almost done. Fired her up today.

Thanks Norm

haha, youre the one that keeps preaching be careful on ebay. you have sinned indeed. and $250?!? come on man

Rickman Zundapp, Montesa or what?

I just used the base as an example on the two extra ports I couldn't find a 83 wr250 for a pic.

My old shop was the orginal monster garage. I built a 28'x48' addition on my house. The 10' ceiling really came in handy. I built a 5' high shelf in one bay. I stacked up bikes on the shelf above and below.

1974 Rickman Zundapp 125. Nikasiled cylinder, new Kokusan ignition, new piston and rings. The original Bing is leaking, trying to set the float height so it will get fuel but not leak. A Mikuni may be in the forecast. The fuel needle seat is difficult to replace.
She did fire up for the first time in five years

Bill, you are dedicated!

I see your carb problem, the slide & needle are hanging under the motor. Your welcome. But seriously, nice bike!

Husqvarna dirtbikes "left kickers" can be worse than potato chips you just can't stop at one, at two, heck it's a never ending story. I take in abandon, adopt cats and dogs that need a home plus Husqvarna bikes too.

The only strays I pick up now are my wife's thoughts- herding cats.

The Rickman is cool- I'm a little heavy to ride it off road tho.

When there are no projects in the garage, I ride, that's when SWMBO opens up to another project in the garage.
Apparently she'd rather have me in the shop, grinding, torquing, etc. a few yards away, as opposed to halfway across the county flying down single- and two-tracks.

Seriously, go disappear for 2 weekends, then tell her you're thinking about picking up a new project. Works better than you might think!

I'll keep it in mind- you never know.

ive found that serious "sexy time" can make most women susceptible to all sorts of suggestions and ideas. remember .. happy wife..happy life....

put in a couple of good efforts b4 suggesting new project or she will twig the buttering up process...I don't condone using butter either

ole Boobs swears by coconut oil no more sore whooha just sayin

you got coconuts over there??

Coconut oil and happy wife eh?
Friggin' travelin' show here- thanks for the advice
I've been around the block once, money talks, oil helps, nudge as good as a wink, know what I mean

Either way, I have to move a few machines. Looking for the best mods to this bike. Looks like 20mm extension to the head pipe will help the low end along with cleaning up the jetting. Will research the wing thing-could make sense from an airflow perspective.
