Back in the late 80s, you could find 250-450cc rat bikes for cheap (or
free). I picked up a Yamaha Special II 400 that was left in someone's
back yard under the stairs - the owner had moved out of thegroup house
years ago and was nowhere to be seen. Fixing old bikes is a lot of fun
if you have some basic skills.

I rode that thing around San Francisco for a year before it was stolen;
I told myself I'd never buy a bike again that a couple of people  could
pick up and put in a truck.
