Back to Bikes

After nine months of dealing with cancer, chemo, and various other health-related issues, coupled with the new opportunities God has given me with teaching and the 127 Legacy Foundation, I've come back around to what I started doing two years ago. This past weekend, I purchased a non-running motorcycle from our UPS guy, a bike I've wanted to get my hands on for over a year, a 1981 Yamaha Seca 550. I'm excited, to say the least!

The tank is rusted inside pretty bad, the carbs need removal and a complete cleaning, the front brake needs to be rebuilt, and a few other minor issues. But there is much potential. It is complete, has been custom painted with factory Ferrari Red, and now from what I read online and was informed by a local motorcycle shop, its a bit of a rare bike, a collectors item. Very few of these are still intact and roadworthy. Enthusiasts are looking for them. Again, I was excited to find that out as well!

I am thankful that God opened this opportunity to me again. Its been a difficult year, and to finish it with a new bike project in the basement is one of His gifts to me, I am sure. and I am thankful. Looking forward to God's leadership and blessings in 2015.
