Never Give Up!

I spent a lovely Sunday in the garage this weekend. One of the bikes that was due for some TLC was the RZ500. Gearbox oil change (what a clever arrangement that is) and a quick run around the block to blow out the cobwebs (literally as the little bastards seem to get in everywhere). Kicking away like a goose (almost as bad to start after an inactive period as my NSR250) and couldn't get a bite. Took out the front plugs and cleaned them still nothing. Took off the tank and cleaned the back ones - bang first kick. Warmed up then a couple laps of the block - OMG crack the throttle and when the powervalves come in - I'm still grinning as I type this. Found myself leaning over the tank to keep the front wheel down. So Monday have a sore leg but happy as!! As for the other two I couldn't get started, they were four strokes so boring!!
