bikeslut 1 Posted March 28, 2012 update: Leo came by last night to look at the bike... it's still on blocks while I sort out the front brakes forks on- thanks tntmo DJ kit 3x3 mod done- thanks tntmo front tire replaced- thanks steel rain once I get the brakes dialed, it'll need a chain, and then he can spend the next 5 years replacing one rusted bolt after another. I look at this bike and regret ever selling it... so much is rusted on it. $300 corbin seat; rotted and cracked... $300 Acerbis tank; stained and ugly... acerbis handguards with built-in signals; faded and cracked... I mean: just on and on... a "barn find" is one thing... a "side of the house find" is just a mess. but thanks to my garage and the guys above, he should have a decent bike to explore with... so- he is in touch with the owner while I button things up; probably do a noob ride out at Lark when the purchase has gone through... I'll bring my kids, etc. Stand by for the "leo-noob ride" soon near you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goofy Footer 539 Posted March 28, 2012 With all the effort you're putting into that bike I think it would only be fitting to take it on a true bikeslut noob ride.. stagecoach or phantom! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 887 Posted March 28, 2012 I have an extra DR350 front brake system here, if you're having problems with master cylinder or brake caliper. I'll bring my two DR350's if there is a noob ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted April 18, 2012 ok- bike is gone... went to a friend of Uncle Champ; carb could still use a little sorting I think, but when the guy tells me he was looking at DRs with NO MOTOR for $500, I think he should have a good time on it leo- look at the bright side: your interest in a cheap bike got somebody ELSE a cheap bike Once I heard leo planned on commuting to Pine Valley daily, I kind of steered him a different direction... it's a 20 yr old DR with 27000 miles on it, and full on knobbies glad it went to a good home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Champ 116 Posted April 18, 2012 I just want to say thanks, my nephew is a happy camper. Now he has wheels and it runs good. I wish people like Bikeslut had been around when I was needing help at a young age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dinosaurs were still around when you were at a "young age" that's it mister... you're grounded... go to your room or "get off my lawn" Champ- I hope it works out; I got the cash on the way to the owner, and should have the pink in a day or two- i'll get it to Alpine and John or Eric can pick it up (or wait until Sunday, when I can hopefully ride Corral on my DRZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
