Here is my new to me 2009 Motorino Riviera. It is the metallic green which looks dark green in the proper light, or black or purple depending on the light. Got a great deal on it, but needed to drive about 200 miles to pick it up. It was owned by someone who did all the necessary prep work on the bike, and kept records of what was done. Nothing left for me to do besides a valve adjustment and fixing the jammed kick starter. Here are some pictures. Enjoy  This is the flipping photo. Like all the photos on Craigslist of people too lazy to take their motorcycle off the trailer before posting the add with the photo.  Another view. Here is a closeup of the carrying loops I used. These were designed to work on a steel bumper, so, I had to improvise. I mounted the carrying loops in wood and strapped the wood to my bumper using ratchet tie downs.  |

"Color is Golden Blonde (whatever that means)"
OK, time to break out the blond jokes.

Here is another advertisement for the same variator with a better view of the parts: It looks like it works like any other variator, it is just that there is less excess metal where it is not needed. |

Wow! You have probably gotten $30.00 worth of fun tinkering with the bike already.

It is time to have your cake and eat it too. Get the engine that you can get the good deal on, swap it out for your current engine, and, also do the work on the engine you already have. That way you will have no down time, can take your time doing the work, and a spare engine when you are finished.

I suggest gin and tonic water over ice, with a twist of lime.

"If we start veering off into cars, boats, or politics, I'll put the skids on it. Rich" So, using this as my avatar would be dimly viewed? (Especially with the political bumper stickers on the back.)  |

Hey, I have the deep pockets.
My pockets also are really really empty.

The bike is silver, so is duct tape.  |
