Yeah, you're right...it was a Super 90. Darn memory ain't what it used to be, well at least as far as I can remember it ain't.
Check out the Purple People eater (if your old enough to remember that song!). Upswept aftermarker "scrambler" pipe...probably had a snuf'r'not in it at some ponit. Borrani aloy rims..that's a 16 in on the rear. Had a Powroll 98cc kit in it and cam, etc. Could smoke the 2-strokes of the day with it.

Talk about the old days...should have seen Tedt's reaction when theold lady told him about how she remembered going to the races and watching me disconnect the brakes and strap on a steel shoe. Couldn't figure out why in the world anyone would disconnect the brakes to race ;D ;D
A good bike mechanic only needs two tools, WD40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move, but should, use the WD40. If it does move but shouldn't use the duct tape.

Wow this has been a rather educational thread, thanks!

Seaweb, that is the bike I started this thread about. Got a local guy that has one for $325 but he doesn't have a key and he says there are some clutch issues. Of course it's not in that fine of shape either. I told him I would buy it once he got a key because he seemed kinda shady. Still waiting to hear back from him.

Considering I started with this with no key and more that clutch problems, at $325, yours sounds OK to me ;D
I had to buy 2 more complete bikes to make one!

A key is $50.00 worth of time for a locksmith a clutch is what.......$50.00?  what ever
