Your My Boy Blue! Now With Video!

Not sure if its a blessing or a curse, but we got our hands on a 1982 Wet Bike for the low price of $0 :ugh: A buddy of ours closed down his shop and let us have what he didn't want to move (also got a 550, 750sx, and some fuel jugs) Anyway back to Old Blue, this thing has not been registered for 20 years, the main buildup here is to get it on the water. Luckily it was very well taken care of spending most of its life in storage. Only in the last few years has it been outside, but luckily it had a cover on it. After draining about seven gallons of gas/water/mystery goo out of the fuel tank and replacing the battery it was go time. We had already decided that if it wouldn't fire it was going in a dumpster, to our surprise the damn thing fired right up :shocked: Looks like we need a little work on the fuel pump (not quite enough pressure) and maybe some carb work (not sure yet) Other than that the things a real peach :ugh: It already has its first mod, a new set of bars. We will be working on it again tonight to try and get it ready for the water.

There is a dude over on PWCToday that has like 50 of those things. If you could track him down, he'd probably be THE source for parts.

Those straps look good. Tubbies next?

Have fun with that bad boy.

You are some "Wild and Crazy Guys" [In best Steve Martin voice]

You gotta bring that beast to the beach and see if we can all wipe out on it!

And I know you fools, you'll be riding it and trying some trick and you'll catch your shorts on those ski things in front, that's the moment that the 20 year old throttle return spring will choose to give out and you'll be zipping across the lake IN FRONT OF a 300hp beast hanging on by your shorts, I can see it now in the carnage section!

Wow, I am clearly not busy enough at this clinic today, huh?
