On the fire roads, drop both tires down to about 8 psi, it makes all the difference in the world on a tw. Those big tires at low pressure do a great job of making up for the lackluster suspension on rough roads. When my girlfriend and I ride together offroad, thats the first thing I have to do. I have realized that the tw is pretty much the ultimate fireroad exploration vehicle. You could carry a 3 gallon gas can, all your camping gear and food, and have a range of 400 miles, all in a light, easy to ride anywhere package. If I was a nature photographer or something, this would be my vehicle of choice.

This is the dumbest trolling ever. Am I missing something that's supposed to be funny?

How are the headlights on that thing? It looks like that might actually do something at night, which is better than the cans of rear end most bikes get for lights.

A bike followed me home again tonight, a 79 XS1100. I think it looking to be taken in over the weekend and have a couple botched/unfinished cafe jobs cleaned up. She runs, but I think the carbs need a good cleaning and tuning, one or two on the left side are stuck wide or something, I can just for gas straight into the cylinder when i try to fill the hose. Gas tank is rusty, what is it you guys were doing to clean them up? I wish I had paid more attention when it seemed like everyone was dealing with a rusty tank. Not sure what I am going to do it it, but I will defiantly be repainting, as somebody painted it rattlecan yellow, without doing anything like actually taking the gas tank off to paint it. Being unloaded...  Click here for the full 1024x683 image. A bit of the botched cafe attempts, the chopped pipes sound pretty bitchen though  Click here for the full 1024x683 image. Fist thing was the get her naked and figure out why the left two cylinders weren't running. Turns out there are two petcocks, the one for the left bank wasn't on.  Click here for the full 1024x683 image. Pull the plugs, left bank is running way rich, no surprise since gas just pores though the carbs. Thankfully, the previous owner had fitted two brand new fuel filters before pouring gas into the rusty tanks and running it that way.  Click here for the full 1024x683 image. Side shot.  Click here for the full 1024x683 image. Its rough, but I can see some potential here...  Click here for the full 1024x683 image.

I think whether or not using an iPod while riding is dangerous mostly depends on the rider. If your the type of person who looses your situational awareness because your dancing along to your mp3 player, your probably shouldn't be using one. I dont leave the house without mine, and I have never once been surprised by something that I couldn't hear. I also use noise isolating headphones, which do a good job of cutting the bike and wind noise allowing my to use my headphones at a reasonable level, so I can still hear horns and whatnot pretty well. What disturbs me is seeing people using the stock headphones, because I know they must be absolutely blasting them to be able to hear the music. Permanent hearing damage, and not being able to hear anything around me? no thanks....

Old and busted...  New Hotness  Traded the 02 YZ 426, my first ever dirtbike for an 04 CR 125R. The CR will become my Arena Cross and Motocross bike. I am going to completely build up the CR over the course of the year, porting, high compression, the works all done by my own hand with the guidance of my boss, who has been building dirt bikes since before they existed. If I can find reasonably priced dyno time, I might do a before and after. Might put together a build thread. Two hours after I got it, it was in the shop being stripped. This picture is actually after I put the swingarm back on after greasing the bearings. Tomorrow I order new springs, topend, pipe, starting device.
