Old skool two-stroke, T500

[Poldark]

I brought home a T500 engine.  It was discount priced due to being locked up.  After much penetrating oil, torch, and agitation, I got the barrels and pistons apart.  I think it was ran without oil.  No photos to post at the moment, just a tired fifty year old engine.  A bike will be built around it.  Something just seem cool about the idea of riding a fifty year old motorcycle.

Yup, I have a 1973 RD 350. Its almost as old as me. Great fun bike to ride, but it has had a lot of modern upgrades.

Ive rode a few T and GT 500's they are great bikes, quite a bit of low down torque for a two stroke. almost feel like a four stroke.

I'll post photos when I get a frame and can create a vision of what the final product might look like.  Right now it's just an old engine with some parts pulled off.
