… new project YAMAHOPPER …

In my ongoing effort to fill my luxurious loads of free time, I picked up another project today! I am now the proud owner of a Yamaha QT50. It is in less than stellar condition … but it runs.

It seems to be missing =

A choke
The right front turn signal
A functioning turn signals in general
A functioning spedometer
Rear brakes

Hmmmm … project bike?

My last motor vehicle was a 1980 Datsun station wagon named the “Banana Boat”. I miss that car dearly and this little blue insect/machine might serve as the next chapter in my petrol based transportation.

The little thing does go pretty good. I must have gotten it up to 15 MPH in front of my house before I parked it and started taking stock in my investment. It’s a 50cc “noped” that has oil injection. I’m not sure that the oil pump works. I better find out.
