  1. Duc's MotoGP motor...complete w/ gear driven cams...which actually look more like sprockets...
  2. HL 5 Barn find.... Cryin' shame as looks as if it's seen better days....
  3. Sure do miss the Brollies...
  4. Imnaha river canyon...NE OR...
  5. Father & Son duo of the Duhamel's...
  6. An ambitious clutch drop by Wayne on the Moriwaki Kwak....
  7. Elk & Antelope along hwy 82 that I travel on at least twice a week...
  8. Fortunately, he's a tough kid...built like his Dad. He's got a coupla broken ribs & a fractured collar bone. So grateful he's fixable. Looking forward to seeing him next week.
  9. It's about 108 miles to Richland WA 1 way.... & it's 280+ miles to Portland from my place. The route I'll be taking to John Day is longer as it's through the center of OR...but MUCH more pleasant as it's on a 2-lane vs. that bloody Interstate.
  10. That's the way it's been here this year....snows at night but melts off by the next afternoon. We had 5-6 inches of snow this time last year....only good thing is that it's cheaper to heat the house when the temps are in the 40'sF during the day....& hasn't got any lower than 23F at night.
  11. Ed on the big KX back in the SuperBiker days...the beginning of the SuMo genre'...
  12. Really nice Pro Street '63 Falcon....
  13. Had 1 of these handed to me from my brother....was my 1st full size motorbike. He & I always referred to it as the "Bacon Slicer" due to the rotary valve intake...
  14. I remember the Tralp & your Beemers...but always like the XR personally...
  15. Gotta drive to Richland WA on Monday... to order a new threaded collar for my arm....hook is loose as a goose & about to fall out. Then I'll probably be traveling to Portland area on Tuesday to visit w/ some old friends, see my grandson who was just in a head-on collision on New Years day....& then help another old friend finally move outta Portland to John Day OR...so I'll be racking up around 1k miles by next Friday. Spending today putting away Christmas decorations & getting another Ride in...
  16. Cool shot of Marty Smith...RIP champ...
  17. '88 TZ 250....reverse cylinder model....
  18. Damn straight....during that 4 day ride, I didn't stay @ any hotel or motel either....just stuffed my sleeping bag in right behind the headlight..no need for a bunjie cord. Amazing how much weather it could keep off ya as well.
  19. Think this guy's a kwik study....
  20. I too, had a coupla Honda's....'93 XR 80 w/ a mid 80's motor. It was originally a 9th birthday present to my oldest grandson...& was an absolute blast to ride in the snow. After many years of riding & fiddling, I completely rebuilt it...brand new top-end...cam, valves, springs, piston, rings...Barnett dirt-digger clutch...wrapped & sprayed exhaust w/ aftermarket alum can. He's now 27 y/o & came last Memorial day from NM to collect it along w/ my XT 600 Sumo. The other Honda I owned was an '83 VF 750 Sabre. The motor was quite smooth w/ a broad powerband...but doing carb work on it was a bit of a bitch...ONLY complaint I have of it. I did my longest ride on it back in 2011, when I rode down to Parker AZ & back in 98 hrs.....2500 miles in just over 4 days.
