I like Brian, great guy. And Man O'Man does he have some knowledge and skills. I know hes doing your bikes, I saw one there,when we dropped of my friends bikes. Im hoping to get my RZ up to him at some point :smt021 for some chassis/ geometry setup.I saw some old school PJ1 pitbikes there..wanted to ask him if he had a YSR hiding around...lol

Great Videos...arnt they. The 500s just rocked! I watched Mamola race several times..Theres a dude who had the talent & could have won it all..nothing to prove, his ability gets nothing but respect from me.

LOL... thought your 500 & 350 was on the bench ? , that must have been your NS400 there too.. :smt023 I sure wish I was closer to his shop, just a selfless man he is, you cannot escape that shop without a great story or in depth explanation on a topic and he eyeballs you to make sure you understand what hes saying...lol
Unfortunatley my wife is battling cancer..again :smt013 So my goal of aquiring his services anytime soon has been put on hold.
There millions of bikes out there but... shes 1 of 1 ! :smt049

Perhaps I might try to put together a build sheet for him, & send it up w Scott...I'm in no hurry.. He can keep it for ages until its a roller, Ive a blueprint for every sq inch of the bike.

I've read a partial list from you regarding your motorcycle collection & Sir, my hats off to you. Its quite impressive and diversivied just about any cool bike of the 80s & 90s youve got!

I have a friend (Scott)whos desperate for a MC-28 (Rothmans...of course)...preferably NOT 100% original, as hes itching for a Luca Caledora replica, basiclly a machine thats not at concour level market value. If you ever think of parting with one or know of one that fits that idea...let me know. I'll put you two in touch.

my sympathy goes off to you. I lost wife to cancer five years ago. My 350 is done. Brian did the pipes and the swingarm is a TZR250 3XV SP. It will be a long time before I get rid of my collection. This is why I'm looking forward to retirement. The one thing about Brian. We get to exchange ideas and he comes up with the best solutions. Maybe some day will meet at Brian's.

I second the condolences for your situation Questo. My wife passed away in the spring of 2015 of cancer as well. Spend all the time you can with her while you can. The bikes are a great diversion, but suck up so much time.

Thanks. The memories are plentiful and very vivid. Still seems like yesterday. Be the rock and make her proud that you stood by with grace and let her live her life with dignity.
