Today's craigslist finds......

Seems like it might be a fun little bike for somebody who knows what they're doing. Has some sort of oil tank so you can just add gas and the bike mixes in the oil itself. I'm having enough fun learning how to work on my DR350, don't really need another bike to figure out right now.

This one's gone already, too... popular bike this spring

The 305 Dream ad is down. I was seriously thinking about that one.

Not much to figure out, really. Carburator, piston ports, oil metering pump, thats it. Way, way simpler than any four stroke i would say.

Except that these use rotary valve intake between the carburator and cylinder which are a little goofy to work with.

I had a 350 Bighorn like that....

Yep. I think all their single cylinder 2 smokes had rotary valves up until around '77 or so

I had a '69 120 Roadrunner w/ that rotary valve mill.... and a weird 8-spd dual range transmission w/ endless loop pattern.

The Bighorn was very cool

I think the A7 Avenger and A1 Samurai twins were rotary valve too.

Here's your chance to corner the market on these bikes Marc:

What is a rotary valve for intake?

Here is an excellent explanation over on a thumper forum from none other than Cowboy. He explains it well

Found this on CL originally, but here is the dealer website info. Seems priced high, sweet bike though...

"Its time to trade in one ride for another. My wife wants a boob job and I have offered to sacrifice my 1994 goldwing so she can get them. The motorcycle has 32000 miles on it but still needs a bit of TLC. If intrested in the Goldwing send me an email"

Wonder if the wife in question knows how the bike is being advertised. Is that her in pic #3?

Pretty sure that's a dude.
