    Smells That Take You Back To Your Childhood

    I bought a new Yamaha Rd 400 in high school. Chambers, handle bars, set backs pegs. Love the smell of the 2 stroke. About 5 years ago I was at the gas station with the wife and I heard one start up. She asked what was wrong? Can’t you hear that I said. I got out and talked to the guys. 2 of them...

    The Honda CT70 is back

    Bonesfab RD 400 is what I would want. Had one in high school. Bought it new for 820 bucks. That was 1976. Loved that bike. Chambers and down swept handle bars. Don’t see them much anymore.

    Used 496

    Thanks for the input. I’m thinking 8 grand without the headers. I would keep it as a back up for my 236 Eagle but that boat has less than 150 hours her. And my garage is pretty full. So I can’t really store it. Its a Merc 496 HO

    Used 496

    The boat is a 2006 Daytona. So I would assume the motor is that era also.

    Used 496

    Daytona is heading to the shop tomorrow for the 540 motor. The 496 has low hours and runs perfectly. I am keeping the headers. What do you guys think I can/should sell the 496 for? I have no idea on how much to ask. Runs flawlessly and has around 200 hours.
