I originally bought this bike supposedly for the opportunity toget another tank for my Honda  with a view to restoring the tank as a spare for my 73 CR. Without looking and within a day I had found three spare motors, on any other day finding an old cr aircooled motor is like finding hens teeth. Anyway,  believe it or not I have found two CR motors and a Honda MR 250,I  now have a new project.

I maybe unloading two Elsinores. In fact I might sell everthing. All my parts, all the RM's and all CR's except  for 1 CR250m and the CR125m. Since the ride with my son last week end ive been in a little leg pain. Saw Doc this morning and guess what, Yeah another facture ( not a break, a crack ) and I didnt even fall off.  ::). crack in right fibula i can only assume from kick starting the CR250 a few times. Life sometimes f*^ken sucks.

Sorry to hear about the injury Quicky! Have you tried a few bars of "ROXXXX-AAAANNE!!!" ?
It worked for Bill...

Leg will be fine KB. I was just pissed off when I wrote that comment. I couldnt believe a simple day out with my son would result in injury again.  :o.  Although I do think I will down size my collection a little at some point.

Hi quicksilver
We seem to have similar interests Honda's and falling. I recently bought a XR 350 for Vinduro's. I took it for a test ride yesterday and took a hard fall. Fortunately major injury was limited to my ego. I was riding out of state so I took all my odd kit and one of the blow up chest guards which I had seen as rather mickey mouse. Lo and behold the chest guard probably saved my bacon and did the job better than a traditional chest guard.  Get well and I look forward to hearing that you are riding again. ps dont sell your Honda's Crabman

Blow up chest guards? I'm not familiar... anything like these?
