[QUOTE="2strokerfun, post: 1399710, member: 69719"] All these years of blue and when I hear "YZ," my mind still sees the picture of the bike in my head as yellow...........sigh........... "Irrational attachment" is a very good phrase, by the way. A condition I am very familiar with !! I am currently building a complete backup engine for my elsinore, buying it one new or used part at a time. I figure it is only a matter of time before I can no longer find many parts for a 34-year-old engine. Which reminds me of another point: If you do plan on keeping and repairing this bike, and you have the space, might keep your eye out for a good donor bike for parts in the future or even a good donor engine you can rebuild and keep as a backup in case of catastrophic failure. My own irrational attachment started because after a few months of whining several years ago, my wife told me I could buy a dirt bike. But, thinking I couldn't do it, she gave me a $400 limit. A few weeks on 'bay and 500 miles later, I got a bike (with a broken piston installed 180 degree from correct). She didn't tell me I couldn't put hundreds of hours and dollars in it after I bought it. It quickly became a matter of pride and hard headedness to keep it in great shape and I wouldn't sell it for $2,000 (not that anyone in their right mind would offer anything close to that). Now, at $2,001, I believe my irrational attachment would quickly dissipate. [/QUOTE]
