It's not red, but I'm in love
« on: April 04, 2009, 04:49:37 pm »
Dear Suzukis 27 & 43, Doc, TM Bill and Holeshot Biddy, I've news that will bring a tear to your eyes. I'm the proud daddy to a bouncing baby RM370A. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm in love. It has no tank, seat, front end or wheels but the rest seems great. I'm definately going to build a resto - racer out of it. How hard are parts to come by for the old girl. Is there really a life beyond the red mist I've been blinded by all these years, or am I detined to a life of yellow disappointment?

Basically magoo it sounds like you've just bought an engine. Might have to call on all your yellow mates for some help.

Thanks Hoonster, I knew you'd understand. Give us a kiss and I promise I won't tell anyone. Just don't tell that Macca character, he may not be as kind.

You're not too far off the mark there Johnny, I'm just hoping that all my Yellow mates aren't too offended by the last 49 years off sledging. It must be the influence of having a couple of beers with a Suzuki bloke named Roger last year, he must have corrupted me. Honestly though, I've always loved the 370. Along with a YZ360A it's one of my non red loves. I think a renovators dream is how it would be described.

You're so kind Bazza, buy me enough chardies and I might take you behind the toilet block and do that special thing you like.
