Sometime you build a bike with rose colored glasses about how good they were only to ride it and be disappointed. I always wanted one of these RM250 Full Floaters and had high expectations. Well this bike and a fancy adjustable carb have this thing exceeding my expectations. I believe I could hang with modern bikes through the trails on this bike.
I picked up a Joyo Jam Buddy II. What a fun little practice tool. Great on-board sounds, drum machine, looper, audio interface, tuner, very good built in speakers... $99. Crazy. This thig sounds remarkably good. I bluetoothed it to my PC and am playing backing tracks off Youtube and having a blast. An Excellent playing $200 kit guitar and a $99 practice tool. We live in fun times tech wise. Great interface, no app, just set and go. I would have killed for these tones 10 years ago now they are just tones in a $99 practice toy. 2 fenders, 2 marshals, to Mesas, 4 5150's... all sound great. Oh, and battery operated. All you need is your guitar, a cable and this and you can practice, write songs, play along, practice solos, loop some stuff. This is also the best Bluetooth speaker i have as it has a great sound and lots of bass.
Not a lot of people ride RM's off road, motors are usually to hot for that. Going through old pics I found this one. That thing handled so freaking good in the woods I just delt with the twitchy motor. Fun bike.
2 years, from scrap pile to this. She's 97% done. Let's see your labor of love vintage bikes!
This was literally a truckload of 2.5 bikes. A pile of 84/85 RM250's with a funny story behind them. Today it ran. It ran good. More work to do but it has been resurrected it from the dead.
We had so much fun our quick loop turned into 75 miles and 5 hours and bumming fuel to get back (not me I'm good for about 85-90). Feeling it today.
