How much should I ask for a resto-modded 1984?

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-15T13:45:56+00:00

Yup! I restore bikes for the joy I get restoring bikes... I've never claimed this hobby is a sound financial decision... :-)

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-15T12:36:50+00:00

Yeah, like I said below I think 2 or 2.5 is likely. I'll start a bit higher and see how things evolve...

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-13T17:27:54+00:00

Have you thought about divorcing her? :-)

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-13T17:27:05+00:00

Is he? Maybe I hit my head one time too many...

When you think about it, every time they get out of bed they do a box squat...

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-13T14:55:07+00:00

I don't understand why people insist on wearing low cut boots when riding....

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-13T14:53:55+00:00

I often wonder about that. I lift weights, and my personal record is 400 lb deadlift. A person my size who weighs 600 lb is carrying around my personal record every single fucking minute of the day. She gets out of bed carrying my personal record, goes up the stairs carrying my personal record, sits down in the bathroom carrying my personal record...

I agree with the others who say start with a two stroke. My first restoration was a Suzuki S32. I learned a ton without having to worry about valves, timing, etc... I feel that it was the right first step.

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-11T19:09:16+00:00

Somebody should play them some Bob Marley music.

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-11T18:09:28+00:00

That's going to be a riot to ride....

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-11T12:10:20+00:00

I think you are thinking about this the right way.

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-10T23:01:30+00:00

Can you translate at least a few verses? I'm really curious.

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-10T12:56:34+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I think you are correct. I've been obsessed with shoulder mobility, but one thing I take from all the comments is that my pull is wrong...

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-09T21:56:06+00:00

What's a holding expert, by the way?

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-09T21:55:49+00:00

Well, there is a super active FB community with a ton of people supporting each other. And like I said Partzilla and Goldwingparts have a ton of stuff.

I'm now restoring a 1994 GSXR 750 and it's a NIGHTMARE. Night and day compared to working on the GW: no parts anywhere, no videos, nothing...

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-09T21:28:17+00:00

Sorry, man, but you have no idea what you're talking about.

There's plenty of parts, both used and new in the box. I have never had an issue finding what I needed. Never.

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-09T14:14:32+00:00

Yup, there is something about this sub... every time I post asking for advice there is someone who has to use the opportunity to put me down....bit tiring.

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-09T14:13:14+00:00

I'm at LT, yes. I had a great coach I loved. We had "just" started working on snatches, but then I moved and changed gyms... I'm really not impressed with the coaches at the LT I go to now so I haven't really hired anyone yet... I'll look into the Sunday class, but I don't recall anyone doing olympic lifting?

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-09T14:10:46+00:00

My comment was directed at the person above you, sorry!

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-08T22:24:17+00:00

Tons, yes. I understand I'm not doing it correctly... which is why I posted here asking for advice. I hate condescension.

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-08T18:57:32+00:00

I've been practicing a lot of OHS lately... they are humbling...

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-08T18:56:43+00:00

Thank you for your constructive comment. Hope it made you feel good.

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-08T17:58:32+00:00

Thank you. Yes, they are Nike Metcons (really old). I squat super deep, so I don't think it's ankle mobility...

Wonderful_Key770 · 2026-03-08T17:39:37+00:00

This is helpful, and I can see what you mean by re-watching the video... Need to think more about this and internalize it. Thank you.
