Well it's bound to happen, and it came back around to being my turn to greet Mr. Pavement. I was following some friends back to their house on a straight stretch of road, about 50 yards behind them. It was dark, but in a somewhat residential area in Kirkland, WA right next to the lake. Minding...

Well my chain has finally had it. It started giving me trouble on a 1300 mile trip I did from Seattle to Missoula, figured I could at least get through the year on it. . .I was wrong. Riding this week the bike is surging when it hits a tight spot in the chain. I can't adjust it properly either...

Not to spoil too much, I'm making an epic journey moving across country. I am driving my truck. . .ridiculous as it is. With my Thruxton in the back. Camping most the way out, and stopping in Moab UT, for the Motos In Moab camp out. I started this little blog thing to chronicle the...

Some motorcycles, also some fantastically wonderful cars from 1929-1940. I am fortunate enough to get to go to a private members only event at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston this Saturday to check out the exhibit. If it tours through a city near you, I'd wager it's probably worth the price...

Well, fortune smiled upon me recently and I was given a barn loved 72 Daytona. :vp:I, however, am in need of a way to get it from oregon to Houston. I've never shipped a bike before and have no idea what to expect or where to begin my search, other than google,:stupid: I'd much rather some first...

The past year for me, has been a . . . . well. . . clusterfuck of sorts. The bike has been down since the end of last June. Prior to that she received many an injury and was down most of the first part of the year as well. Just a friendly warning, this post will contain motorcycle gore, sadness...

Alright, so valve clearance and shim change on thruxton, get all my parts in, get her put back together at proper torque settings. One of the bolts holding the cam cover down, pulled the threads out of the cam holder. Bike bandin doesn't sell them separate from the cylinder head, the shops here...

Okay, I'm thinking that I'll need a cruise control or something of the sort for my long long ride in august, anyone have suggestions or reviews?

Well, this trip is still in the planning stages, have to do some maintenance to the bike first, but here are the initial plans and dates. Also where I might need a couch and shower from you fine folks. I'll continually update the thread as it gets closer and as time allows, on the journey...

I recently had the opportunity, and pleasure of riding a friends Aprilia SXV 550 motard. Just a little spec sheet to get your mouth watering. 66hp 550cc 72° vtwin 10,000rpm redline dry sump oiling 5 speed gearbox dry weight 278 lbs I am a tradition less is more kinda cat, so...

Any issue with the exhaust contacting the bottom of the shock? My predators do so, wondering what y'all might've done to remedy it. Until i figure a solution its richening the idle mixture and running open pipes.

As of late the thrux has developed an intermittent stalling problem. I'm sure the carbs need synced as well, however, it seems the tachometer is reading incorrectly. Bike has always idled at 1100 and i know pretty well what that sounds like, now the tach is reading close to 2k at idle but...

Well I've decided that after my last track day I'm going to completely remove the airbox and sidecovers so that the bike is see-through and just has those pod filters hangin out in space. It will will involve removing the rear portion of the seat underneath the cowl and extending the wiring to...

Cool ride, harley mashup motor and ride Old Bonnie Cool trump chop My friends cool BSA Gonna be several posts of pictures so bear with me

Can't begin to thank you enough for your astounding work, and for taking the time to answer any questions and throw some ideas my way. Great working with you! Keep at it, always looking forward to all your new designs.

This is going to be short and to the point. No step by step, I'm sure most of you are blessed with common sense to be able to do this yourself, if you aren't well it would take common sense to figure that out anyway. If you do have any further questions just shoot me a PM. Sorry I do not own a...

Someone hear a while back mentioned a product that really got the case of the motor cleaned up, I for the life of me can't find it on search or anywhere I think to look. While my bike is torn apart I figure I could get in there and get it all purdy again.

Late late notice but I'm having a BBQ at mi casa this afternoon, if any of y'all live in the area or feel like making a trip just shoot me a PM and I'll give you directions. BYOB.

Well I was an idiot and there was complications with running the go pro. So I have no footage from my ride. There is footage that is being uploaded and rendered at the moment but it won't be ready for a few days. Here are some tasty pics though. Overall I feel I progressed well through the...

Yup, sourcing all the parts. Have both wheels, all 3 rotors, master cylinder and front calipers. The stock rear caliper will fit. I could use the stock front master cylinder, however I am effectively doubling the load upon it so I feel that it is in my best interest to uprgrade as well. No sense...
