One step closer
« on: March 16, 2011, 12:14:24 AM »
First , i would like to say i really like this site! Very informative. It has been over 30 years ago now that my older brother (now deceased) sold his 1971 Bridgestone 350 GTR. I still can recall what a high performance machine it was even if it was a stock machine without any alterations of any kind. Anyway,i had done some investigating as to what happened to it, and back when my brother sold it , it was to a friend of his at the time. I called up one of my brothers other friends ( they were kind of a close group of friends back when) and i had inquired if he would know about the whereabouts of the 350 GTR or whatever happened to it. Sounds kind of 'out-of-the-blue' to ask someone about something like this after all those years , but i figured what the heck...i gotta find out. I was told by the guy i called up that the guy that did buy it back then, probably still has it sitting around ( he is currently working for the railroad and is not home too much). I am hoping that it would be available for purchase, and it would take me some time to restore it, but it would be more of a sentimental purchase more than anything. If it does come out to be that i am able to purchase it...i will post some pics of it on this site ( i hope it won't be too 'ugly' to do it, but then again...i can post the 'after' restoration pics later ( don't know how long that might be)

That's pretty neat that you would like to find your brother's bike and get it going again.
I'm sure it would bring back some emotions and some fun times you had together.
