Title: Well It's Official

Well it's official
Hi Guys, I've been wanting to buy a GS500 for a while but for the past few years finances just have not been cooperating.. but I just bought one. It is a project though.. I bought it for 300 dollars currently registered but "seized".
It needs just about one of everything so I'll probably be asking a lot of questions. I do have some experience with bikes. As a matter of fact you guys might get a kick out of my old racing website  http://www.erlenbachracing.net

Well time to tear the top end down and see the damage...  Ed

Hi, Ed!

Welcome aboard!  You're name is not unfamiliar to me!  I had a 73 RD-350 a few years ago, and can remember your name from a number of 2-stroke forums that I used to frequent.  I moved on to the GS 500 back in 2007 - and have not been sorry (though truth be told, I do miss the rush of a two-stroke when it comes on the pipe - but it just did not fit in with my needs).

Everyone aboard here is very friendly and helpful and more than eager to help.

:cheers:
Cheers!

Mike

Fantastic!  Welcome aboard.  I've seen your name bandied about in various places in years past.  I'm sure you'll be a great resource to have around here.   :icon_razz:

I checked out the photos on your Web site and must say I LOVE the two pics of pipe work by Runner of Japan.  That's a skill / art I wish I will someday develop.

Yamaha RD350 was a stokin bike! Wish I had one in my garage! Then again, maybe I'd get into big trouble, but it would be FUN getting there!   :woohoo:

Welcome Ed.  I am a noob here as well but I'm also very familiar with your work on 2-stroke engines.
