YamaHead

Seem to remember something about 30+ hrs.

That title oughta get Pete's attention.... But to his dismay, my new Mullet is NOT on top of my head.... it's actually the model name of this 2024 CyberBike eMtB I treated myself to just before Christmas. Most Emtb's crank around 85nm of torque as a typical spec....this gem puts out 130nm of torque....it get's right with the program! It comes with a 29" front wheel while the rear is a 27.5".....so, following dirtbike type geometry more & more. I had to cough up an extra $348 for an electronic LH shifter, which I should have early next week. Then I can finish off stream-lining the handlebar to make it a bit easier to operate w/ my hook. With 4-piston hydraulic calipers @ both ends....anodised hubs, 34mm fork, & a 1x10 gearset....there won't be much of anyplace this beast can't tackle. Better brakes than all 25 motorcycles I've owned! Thing'll stop as well as it goes... It even came with tools to finish the assembly process. It has 5 pedal-assist levels that can also be operated with a LH thumb throttle....so I should be able to ride UP my steep driveway....sitting down on the saddle.

Boots endorsed by Fred Flintstone....

Those turn indicators definitely don't look factory.... Fun lookin' ride--

The southside of the Elkhorn Mtn. range....towards Sumpter...

Probably due to the addition of liquid-cooling.....radiator, plumbing, etc. Knowing how light the 550 chassis is..... I bet it goes like stink!

For those last minute beer runs....just take a back-pack w/ ya....

Snowed again last night....just a dusting though. Gonna try & sort out the new ride this weekend.

Another creation from the Greeks....Xt660 motor shoe-horned into a 550 chassis...

A trio of Burrito Burners....

Hardley's do have some of the nicest factory paint in the business....

Indeed my friend....looks like a blast to ride!

That's only 50 miles away from where I live...not alot of people get to enjoy the beauty of Wallowa lake in the winter. It's always so quiet & serene. I'm also quite blessed to have a wife who enjoys all those activities.

That 1199 is a sweetie....

Here's a background for ya....might just have to take another with my new ride....for next month's BIKEotm....

Sometimes when the Pro's race @ the Shoug, they reverse the direction on the track....making this downhill a launchpad for some real airborne MX'rs....

No place quite like the "Shoug"....

Properly named....

A bonafied "FrankenBike"....Maico chassis, Hodaka motor, YZ pipe, Suzuki hubs, KTM fenders

Hardleys are ridden by decrepit old farts that can't get out of their own way...
