Yamaha Garage Girl Story

Alright, there's something a little unnerving about a few scenes in this but the message is nice. A homosexual looking father and his attractive daughter almost end up screwing after working on their brand new SR400 together after it fails to start. Nice sentiment, if the execution is a little... odd.

All boxed and ready to go.

Jesus, that cat in the background looks like mine!


All for about $170AUD to ship the thing internally. The fun bit is getting it from Japan down to Melbourne, but I think I might have it sorted. We'll see.

Nakajima Sakae - 14 Cylinder Air Cooled Goodness

I think I prefer the sound of this to the Merlin...


Skip to the 1.00 minute mark for audio porn.

I've got an engine!




1993 SR400 399cc of oil-leaking goodness.
Woooooo!

It'll be a while before it arrives but here it is...

It'll be a while before it lands - quite a while actually, as it's still in the frame in Japan, but I think I've nutted out a working shipping option. I'm told the engine itself is in need of a rebuild - but it still has compression and still runs.

The trick will be for it to keep running after I'm done with it.
