Cylinder looks small for a 500 but I'm still drunk.

I like yer style, dude, but Wob & Company are too "proper" to put yellow plates on a 250.

I just spit my coffee out , haha! Laughing

On that RC500 , wow! The early to mid 80's Honda's have to be the most trick bikes ever made for our sport. I don't think any two are exactly the same and the craftsmanship that went into those things is just amazing. What a beautiful work of art.

There is a full write up on the rebuild somewhere,. think is it being done for a private client, and the finished article will be in a magazine feature, he is posting the detailed stuff that they wont have room for in the article, the rest we will have to wait for .

He is also doing a 250 for Trampas Parker.
