Ha ha - yeah - I'll be the frickin gear lever specialist after that little episode. Just make sure that green thing is not parked next to the YZ's - we don't want any cross breeding  :o
That is a seriously awesome bike though.  As I said to the owner at CD7 if I had $8K at the time I would have bought it.  You know how much a "proper" resto costs.  You got a bargain.  well done - now get your shit together and get a YZ250  ;)
