Then you should give it to me!! :p :p O.k. now seriously............ You should stop spending money on this bike when you are tired of it, or are ready to trade it for something better. Older bikes are a gamble. Sometimes it's hard to find replacement parts for some bikes. Sometimes not. I've been rather blessed <knock wood> so far with my '82 XL500r, parts have been fairly easy to find. What parts i cant find, i fabricate. The latest was the rear brake return spring. The old one snapped, and when i went to my Honda dealer i heard the dreaded "sorry its obsolete". :scream: Solution: the local hardware store carries replacement springs that work fine, and dont look "rigged". I plan on keeping "old Flash" for many years (or untill that 2002 XR650R finally seduces me). How long you keep that TT350 is up to you. Ask yourself: Do i like this bike? Am i ready for somthing better or newer? Is it worth spending over $5,000 (for a new ride), or should i try to upgrade "old betsy"? Does this bike do what i want it to do? Is the old bike still fun? If any of the answers are no, then maybe you should go down to your Honda er uh oops local MOTORCYCLE dealer that is and check out a new ride. :cool: [/QUOTE]
