Yamaha Other description

My workshop is too full of stuff and something has to go. This RZ500 has been here for over a year since I sold it to Mr. Procrastination, and I'm tired of pushing it around , cleaning the carbs and waxing it. It doesn't make a good work bench or parts shelf (it is a great dust collector!). it just takes up space I could use for something productive. It's too nice a bike to roll out in the weeds to rust.  So, I'm getting it out of here one way or another while it's still a good motorcycle. I wouldn't want the tires to rot off of it waiting for MR. Procrastinator to come and collect it. So, here you go. It's a 1985 RZ500 Yamaha. It's recently been bored 1st oversize. Well, actually, it's been over a year ago. But it's just been sitting in my shop since then waiting for Mr. Procrastination to come and get it. So, only a very few miles on the top-end from running it up and down the road in front of my shop trying to keep the gas from going bad every time MR. Procrastinator says he's coming to get it. I just cleaned the carbs about a month ago and put fresh gas in it because Mr. Procrastinator said he was finally going to come and get it (again!). But as usual, he didn't show up (imagine that). So, it starts & runs fine. All the electrics work. I don't know if the battery is going to last much longer though since it has been mostly sitting around for a year thanks to the Master Procrastinator. I've kept it on a tender. So, it might be OK for a while yet. It has a clear title. So getting a plate for it should be no problem. I'm starting this auction with a huge opening bid so Procrastinators can have fun looking it. If it doesn't sell a guy in MN said he would keep the battery charged and the gas from going bad. 

 

Payment will be due within 1 week of auction end, NO EXCEPTIONS. I will NOT store this thing more than 2 weeks. If you are related to MR. Procrastinator you loose it and your payment.

AMA Sportbike: 2012 Daytona 200 Results

Tue, 20 Mar 2012

The 2012 Daytona 200 delivered another fairy-tale finish with underdog privateer Joey Pascarella and the Project 1 Atlanta team fending off a pack of three other racers to win by a slim 0.048 second margin. Competing in just his first Daytona 200, 19-year-old Pascarella from Victorville, Calif., held the lead for 41 out of 57 laps to finish first ahead of a last year’s winner Jason DiSalvo while Cameron Beaubier squeezed by 2010 Daytona Sportbike Champion Martin Cardenas in a photo-finish to take third. For the Project 1 Atlanta team, the win marked a dramatic turnaround from a let down in 2011.

Mark Miller To Ride For Vercarmoto In 2014 TT Zero

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

After finishing in fifth place with Chris McGahan in the SES TT Zero in 2013, Italian based Team Vercarmoto, who made their debut in the event in 2012, has announced that American Mark Miller will ride for them in the 2014 race. American Miller is seen as a specialist in the category and boasts a respectable track record in the Isle of Man TT Zero class with the runner up position in 2011 and 3rd place in 2012 to go with his 2010 race victory. The American is also one of only three riders to break the prestigious 100mph mark around the iconic 37.73 mile TT Mountain Course on an electric bike, a feat he achieved in the 2012 race.

Yamaha R1 rider lowsides on left-hander

Tue, 23 Mar 2010

THIS GUY'S lucky he doesn't get flicked over the top, after losing the back end of his Yamaha YZF-R1 on a twisty section of mountain road. He looks pretty miffed at the result; we think he got away lightly. It could have been soooo much worse if the rear tyre had gripped and lobbed the rider over the top.
