Almost four years ago, I scored this Lambordini/Kohler diesel from work. 6.5 hp, electric start, less than 3 hrs on the clock.

The plan was to build a cheap to run motorcycle around it to commute to work on and only get fuel maybe once a month. Well, that fell flat for two reasons. One, I don’t commute anymore. Two, I could not for the life of me find a roller with a title.

Well, half of that has been corrected and the project is back on. Picking up this basket case of a Suzuki GS550 tomorrow morning.

Don’t care about the half an engine, but it has most everything else I need, save for a fuel tank. Most importantly, it has a title.

A lot of other stuff to do before I get to it but watch this space.
