Re: Gyro - general thread

The Honda Stream, that's pretty awesome...

Anyway, I got some tires finally and now I have fatties on my Gyro. Some grinding needed to be done on the seam weld on the muffler. Will likely need more, it's still pretty tight.

Mike, that second photo is awesome. What a cool bike to have around! I'd dig a small 2 stroke motorcycle. I'd dig a big 2 stroke motorcycle...

I'm not going with the cafe bars, I bought them for a moped but sold it before putting them on. I ride a cafe'd CB350 and my scooter buddies were telling me ...

Hello, I'm new here, signed up for the Gyro talk. I helped my scooter club fix up a 1986 as the raffle bike for the 2012 High Desert Scooterist's rally.
