Hampton Roads Ducati thread

[Bun-bun]

Well, O.K. it sank at the dock, so I shouldn't say I sank it. We're in the rebuilding process, I posted an account of it in No moto content under Das Boat.
If you want to go striper fishing, I've got all the necessary gear, including trolling lures, just lemme know.

[CMDRDAVE]

I am open tomorrow all day for riding.  (going with a repair instead of a new trolling motor)
Jeff - If you want to do a breakfast I'm in.
Will - I might end up over in Driver in the afternoon
Does anyone else have plans?  Free to ride?

There are a couple of roads on Chesapeake that are noted on this site http://www.motorcycleroads.us/va.html
Does anyone know anything about them.  I was going to try them tomorrow too.  Why not?

[Bun-bun]

Breakfast tomorrow sounds good.
We'll be at the Silver Diner at the corner of Battlefield and Volvo pkwy at @ 10;30 (Next to Home Depot).
Then maybe some riding.

Jeff,
Got your message, I'll call you when I get back into town, need to help my mom get ready to ship out to Kuwait. 

[wllgmr]

I know its a long shot, but does anyone have or know where there is a Kawasaki W1 (or W2) 650 for sale? I want that as my next bike. I've had no luck finding one.

[Bun-bun]

Dunno about the W1, but I saw an '03 749 for sale at a used car dealer on Military hwy back before the skies opened up. The want $5900 for it, looks to be in good shape, salvage title, 10k+ miles.
I might head down there if it ever quits raining, maybe take a test ride.

I went and looked at that bike as well Jeff. Yellow right. Pretty nice looking bike but no salvage titles for me.

[Bun-bun]

I went and looked at it today, talked with the salesman. I was misinformed, not a salvage title, it was a repo. Needs a shift lever(looks broken, not laid down), and the biposto seat recovered.  Guy said the shift lever would be in next week, and he'll call me in for a test ride.
Not buyin' something til I ride it, period.

Might be an early X-mas.

I'll be putting two dirtbikes up for sale over the next few weeks. I'm selling them for a friend who's fallen on hard times.There's a Honda XR125R with a freshly rebuilt motor, I think it's a 1984.
Also a Honda XR250. Not sure of the year or condition, I'll find out more soon.
Anyone interested?
Jeff

[bulldogs2k]

Sorry this took a while. I PM'd you my #s.
Here's what I know on the bikes: I'll be selling both of them for a friend who's currently serving 3 1/2 years in state prison.

1 1984 Honda CR125R - This bike underwent a frame off restoration last year. The frame was stripped and painted while the motor underwent a complete rebuild including new bearings, new piston & rings, cylinder bored .030 over, new reeds, otherwise known as new top and bottom ends. After the rebuild, the bike was used approximately 2 hours. Comes with a DG pipe, otherwise stock. Runs like a raped ape. 2 stroke, water cooled, kick start only.

2 1994 Honda CR250R This bike I'm probably going to part out, as its got a cracked engine case. The bike has Showa forks, Renthal bars, FMF Fatty pipe, Keihin carb, Pro circuit racing shock, and a Ceet gel seat.
I'll probably put the 125 up on ebay, and start tearing the 250 apart Friday.

The 250

The 125

[wllgmr]

Those are CR (two stroke). XR is four stroke. You can tell by the pipe.

Yep, that's what I said. CR125R and CR250R.

Just having a little fun with you Jeff. Are you still riding on these nice fall days? Is anyone still riding?
