Is the fork truck and scissor lift yours or are you renting them?

Good luck with the build.

This is giving me inspiration! I have a 60x60 steel building I dismantled and moved to my farm back in 2007. It is sitting patiently waiting for me to complete my slab. I have all the utilities roughed in and the slab formed. I just need the economy to rebound. Keep the progress photos coming! I will be checking in often to see your progress.

Never can have enough of those triples :thumbup: Looks like we have similar tastes in the old 2-strokers. Thought you might like seeing these.

Some of my past 2-stroke bikes (pictures from the '80s):
Yamaha-1974-RD350-06-Last.jpg H1-Chevelle-ratio80.jpg Suzuki-1975-GT550-01.jpg

And the current ones (minus the basket case '72 H1):
H1-500-04.JPG RZ350-09.JPG

Still would like to add a RZ500 or RG500 to the stable though.

Hey shopnut

I love that gt550 mine does not run :( but soon it will .
You're making good progress on the building - keep up the good work!

I bought the GT550 after my beloved lime green H1 (named the "Triple Threat") was stolen, thinking it was a very similar bike. Wrong! It was much heavier and seemed down quite a bit on power compared to the H1's. It just didn't like to rev past 7K. It was quite a bit more refined, however, with its electric start and other gadgets. It even had a digital gear position indicator - had to wait until I got my '07 FJR1300 to enjoy that luxury again.

Kinda wish I still had that GT since it was in perfect shape.
