now this is something I'd like to try: http://www.bikeexif.com/moto-guzzi-stelvio bored to 1400cc / 140HP - sounds like too much fun!

well, then it was our turn! A bomb in front of the government building, 7 confirmed killed. And worse: the perpetrator arriving at a youth camp, armed with guns and bombs, killing at least 84 young people and probably wounding many more. All this , not by Al Quaeda or other muslim...

for those of you that love this race - here's a video link: http://www.sbs.com.au/dakar/# As always, awesome footage. And as last year, Jonah Street (Yamaha), Marc Miller (VW Tourareg) and Robbie Gordon (Hummer H3 2WD) represent the US.

my (t)rusty ol' Dnepr was hard to start today, looks like I have some carb icing...:

Anyone here getting christmas present for themselves? I just got mine yesterday - this book "Whatever happened to the British motorcycle industry" by the late, great Bert Hopwood Looks like a very interesting read for sure

well, bought a set of 904 jugs/pistons from mrt202, and today I sent my cams to TPUSA. So last night i sprayed the exhaust nuts/studs with penetrating oil so it could work for 24 h before attempting anything. And tonight I tried loosening one nut ,very gently. - And the damn stud broke...

Found this cool site with all you can imagine of all kinds of posters etc. See under vintage -transportation to find the old mc stuff looks like I'll have to put in an order.... http://www.allposters.com/-st/Motorcycles-Vintage-Art-Posters_c5797_.htm

Now this looks like a hoot to ride! A streetfighter if there ever was one 8) http://thevintagent.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-you-find-them-manx-for-sale.html

The EU commision has for some years been working on a new directive recarding motorcycles - making life harder for us european riders. A good thing that I've been a member of the Norwegian MC Union, which in turn is a member of Fema, both does a good job @ lobbying towards the most imposing...

never thought I'd say it about a russian bike - they got lots of charm for me, but this one actually looks like a nice standard bike: More pics + a ride report where mr Cob rides it from Wa to NH. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=598685 I'd think if BMW decided to...

think this intruder-based build is pretty cool:

Not exactly the best starting point for a cafe/roadster :p - but would it be possible to make this contraption look halfway decent without sinking too much money into it...? Havent seen many XJ based builds - would be fun (and hard) doing something a bit off the beaten path. For a start...

Well, last week I attended a riding course in Spain. Held by norwegian MSF teachers to kickstart the riding season after a long cold winter. Held in the Costa Blanca area on the east coast, known for its mild climate, temps went from 40F in the mornings to 70F during the day. Riding...

almost got ill watching this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Ow92F78fY

This bike does have the correct retro look, plunger rear suspension et al: Sells for €4K in France , not bad for an essentially handbuilt bike. Based on a 1948 design. Would be nice to putt around town on - and mileage should be good too. Should get around twice as long on a gallon as...

Going to install the intiminators now and figured it would be a good time to swap out the headlight brackets from stock to the Thrux brackets I've had layin around for 2 years. Now, the tubes on the thrux brackets are shorter to give room for the clip-ons, anyone have any tips on what to use...

After seeing way to many contraptions with Triumph engines, it was nice to see a build that actually looked decent:

http://www.air4zero.com/ these guys will have us to believe they can make a car run 20000 miles on one tank of compressed air :D

Installed the TPUSA powerpack with pipes+ARK. Bike didn't run properly at lower throttle openings afterwards, which I attributed to being lean in the low 40 temps. Rejetted carbs to 145's and put in the NB mixture screws. Already had 42 pilots in it. Yesterday I put in thrux needles , no...

Roland Sands and Drake McElroy taking their new rides for a blast: (A norwegian site, nevermind the language - enjoy the pics!) http://www.mc24.no/article.php?articleID=1986&categoryID=6

Was at the shop to pick up my rear wheel - hopefully with new inner tube + 2 new spokes. My buddy said that in order to replace those 2 spokes, many other spokes would have to be loosened - and it would be a time consuming affair and costly for me having them do it. (Besides, their schedule...
