I`ve been to two Supercross races, the first at Exhibition Stadium which was the infamous 1980 mudbowl, the second at the `Dome in `89. A friend worked for Toshiba and we had the 50 yard line box, or whatever equivalent. Spectacular time, that was in the two stroke era( as God intended), and by...

I looked up at least 4 British `38 V-twins, amazing, what do you have? Also...any idea which parts they produced for which RAF fighters? I find this super interesting

And now BMW has a patent for a proprietary screw/fastener that will require their special tool, probably for big bucks naturally. I suppose if you have 40+ grand for a bike, they figure it won`t get you upset.

Years ago I torpedoed a huge raccoon just north of Port Perry, late night. It popped out behind the last vehicle in a string of northbound traffic. Just about ripped the front fascia off the dreaded Focus and pushed the rad back. Had a look at it and managed to limp home. I was reluctant to call...

OK...... Another representative of what the industry has turned into. I had two friends/coworkers killed in the mid `70`s that drove under the trailer of a rig stopped in a live lane.

That`s how I see it, why ask for problems? I keep the Z900 and the snowblowers and lawnmower in the single door side and my car and odds and ends in the double door side, lots of room still. Here in Lindsay the car theft and theft from vehicles isn`t too big an issue. As everywhere the druggie...

I always looked at the Buell Ulysses. A new car got in the way,.... yeah I know...

That went on everywhere in the `70`s. Cops also used to chalk mark tires and check back in a few or more hours to see who was at a bar for how long, and later wait to stop them. I saw it happen at the Jolly Miller at Yonge/York Mills, it`s probably a condo now.

I`d imagine you`ve been eyeballin` the new Buell Super Cruiser. That bike looks like crazy RZ350 type fun on steroids. I saw Kaplan Cycles in CT. I believe, has the first 2 off the line.

My `78 GS1000 right there. Suzuki did an exceptional job on those, likely the best street bike I`ve ever owned. And the best stock seat ever too.

Most of us found out the hard way. The old RD350`s went full Honey Badger on a lot of riders.

Since MotoGP is mostly the Ducati Cup...put the entire grid on 1000cc current tech two strokes sans all the available myriad of techno nannies. MM93 can highside himself into orbit. This season was rather boring. At least the bagger series is still a spectacle. :p

Since a push start is out, you`re covered. It`s like did a Yamaha 2 stroke autolube pump ever fail? I heard of one... ever.

Speaking of throwing snow....years ago when I first got the small 520, I was doing the end of the drive after the plow was by. I wasn`t familiar with the machine at all and managed to fire a fist size ball of ice at the neighbors house, just missing taking out their large front window by inches. :p

When I got the big 724 I thought maybe I shoulda` got the e-start model. Once I figured it out they start pretty easy though. Just like the old XL250, XL350 and XL500 did. I pull the 724 thru a few times until compression, gas on, choke on, switch on, and one firm pull normally does it.

Ariens are good, neighbor has a large one. He also just got some ancient small 2 stroke blower that was his Grandfathers. I LMAO at it, sounds like a outboard/chainsaw cross......smells good though.

Buy the Honda. I`ve got 3 of `em, two smaller.. the 520 and 720 and the big 724/wheels not track. I`ve lived in real snow areas for ages, Bradford, Barrie and now Kawartha Lakes. I bought the 520 in `98 and the other two within 9 or so years. Overrated?... no, Pricey?...yeah kinda. The little...

At age 80, owner of Team Obsolete. Restorer of buildings, boats and collector of museum quality racing motorcycles. Retired lawyer and lover of history. Rest in Peace Rob, it was great to see some of your historic bikes on track, you made an impact on so many.

Totally true. Don`t ever think that Mothra cares about you though. Mothra hates you. Those old Japanese Godzilla films are brutally bad and hilarious at the same time. The actors playing it so serious and a guy in a rubber Godzilla suit booting over model buildings crack me up. Don`t forget too...

The last Harley V-Rod`s were built in 2017 I think, I`m reading on some forums about parts unavailability already.
