Should have done this first...........

I should have did an intro and said a hello here first, so here it goes:
35+ yrs of rideing, 10+ years of road racing, owned many many diff bikes from most all makers 73 eldorado guzzi was my all time fave rider, first gen 916 duck was the most fun, 85 gpz9 ninja felt the fastes, 1100f honda was the most powerfull, current 85 zl900 eliminator is the scariest,
and current xj650 turbo is the only one I have had I missed the most, took 20 yrs to get on anouther but I am real happy with riding again

 

Welcome to the site Rick !!
Hey, is that a factory black turbo? I heard they only made 8 black ones.
I know the feeling of wanting a bike back that was sold. . .
I sold my first Seca 900, then 18 years later bought another.

 

welcome to the site, good to have ya! nice looking turbo, that should be a ton of fun to bomb around on!!

Ooooh ... a turbo .... very nice!

 

no its a rattle can satin black ~not a well done job~....I cant say I have ever had a machine with better ergonomics than the seca turbo, lack luster on the bottom end but a real hoot on the boost. and at 70mph it goes down the freeway as well as anything else. BONUS! its wierd, odd and is a love it or hate it look........... DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!.... LOL

 

Hey Rick, nice lookin bike! I'm still working on mine, tryin to get her ready for the 23rd. As the date gets closer we'll gel a time and place for the ride up to Oly. I'm still working through a throttle response RPM issue. I am getting closer though. Welcome to the forum!

Cheers
Ken
