With a little help from a friend Thomas was able to get his motorcycle running. The only things he really needed were a shift lever and a seat. He didn’t even wait to get a seat. Within minutes of its arrival, the shift lever was installed and he was off and running. Never even looked back.

One more post to bring us a little closer to the present before I call it a night. Thomas picked up a Yamaha XS 350 for $250 on e-Bay. It is missing a seat and a kick starter but is in good shape other than that. This is HIS big project. Take a look at the happy boy and his bike.
Cool '70's colors!

We named it Humphrey. Isn’t that cute? Thomas is proud of his new carbon foot that has already imprinted our property. I can see how erosion could be a problem with ATV’s. His sister has been reluctantly agreeing to riding with him and has been engaging in extortion as well. He probably has agreed to feed her rabbit for a week, poor boy.
