The picture on the left is what it looked like when my dad brought it home. Dad tinkered with it for a few years. When I was 15, I started asking him about it and if I could get my license. He told me if I could get it running then I could get my license and ride it. The picture on the right is what it looked like later.  </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="0622cca0.png" border=0 width="300" height="202" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> This is my first RZ500 and I back in 1993. It was all stock and stayed that way while I owned it. I put 20,000km on it without any trouble. Unfortunately, I had to sell it to finance the purchase my current RZ500.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="17080e00.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> This is my 1982 Yamaha XJ550RH Seca.  It was what I call a "barn special."  A friend had it in his barn for about 5 years before I found it.  Apparently, the previous owner had the original mufflers cut off and these welded on.  It never would run right after that and he just parked it.  After rebuilding the carburetors, new intake boots, air filter, battery, and of course some jetting changes it fired up and runs quite well.  I've spent hours polishing the aluminum and removing rust, so it looks much better than when I first got it.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="0de80e00.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> My lastest aquisition - a 1981 Suzuki GS650EX.  I got this one from a friend of my father's. It's all there, just needs some TLC.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="16e80e00.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Another aquisition.  This old Honda's been sitting since 1988. It's going to need some work, but I think it will be worth saving.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="21480e00.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> My 2003 Kawasaki KDX 220R. </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
