Hi, new guy here. Thanks for adding me.

I'm a Boomer, with just a bit over a half century riding experience, although I've barely ridden in the last decade, largely due to insane insurance costs, crappy location for riding, and most of my bikes needing work. I have a half dozen old bikes (most currently not running), all 2-strokes except for one. My newest bike is a 2001 Ducati Monster S4 - which I'll probably end up selling along with some others that I just never use any more. I think of all my street bikes, my favourite would be my 1976 Yamaha RD400 - light, fast and fun. I would want to keep that.

I'm a very early member of the Denizens of Doom (DOD) Motorcycle Club, member #051112 - back from when you could choose your own member number. For any of you old hacker computer geeks, you may realize the leading 0 is significant to mean it's a number in octal, and you'll decode that to the 2 ASCII characters of my name - RJ.

Welcome! Which other 2 stroke bikes do you have? I love those too :)
Yeh, I'm an old-fart 2-stroke kinda-guy. My 4-stroke Ducati was an impulse buy a quarter century ago.
My 2-strokes are:
1980 Yamaha MX175 (needs a bit of carb work)
1989 Yamaha DT200 (needs a lot of work)
1990 Yamaha RZ350 (needs a lot of work)
1991 Yamaha YSR80 (runs well - needs new tires)
1976 Yamaha RD400 (needs a bit of work)
 
Welcome aboard
The RZ350, YSR80 and RD400 are all very desirable bikes.
 
Welcome to the forum.
