New to BS Board - 350 GTR owner and collector / racer
« on: December 02, 2009, 09:14:28 AM »
Hi,

My name is Terry Gates.  I live in Monroe, GA and am 52 and a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, rider, racer, and for the last 12 years or so collector.  I race vintage motocross and road race with AHRMA and SEVMX organizations. I collect a lot of Japanese street bikes and smaller "fun" bikes, as well as road race 1977 Honda MT125R, 96 Honda RS125R, and 91 Yamaha TZ250.   I see Karl Swartout (and his brother also) at AHRMA races for a number of years on cool Bridgestone twins in the 200 GP class.   Dirt wise I have a lot of vintage OSSA Stiletto, Phantoms, a Yankee, GPII, GPII  and vintage Penton 100-125-175-250-400 I race.  Also later 70s and early 80s Honda CR and Suzuki RM.

I have a (I think) 1970 Bridgestone 350 GTR.  It runs and really just needs paint the tank redone, and to fix a few small things.  Looking forward to riding it after a litttle work.

welcome to the site. I got to meet Karl at Road America this spring. Got there a little after his race was over so didn't get to hear or see him running. I had great luck with a premixed acid solution to clean my GTR tank. Photos are posted on this site if that's the kind of tank work you need to do on yours.
