What brand of oil and premix ratio and gasoline of choice are you using on these new-fangled strokers?

I had no problem starting the RZ500 using my hand on the kick start lever. Wouldn`t try that on a CR500 though.

I was lucky enough to experience the 2 stroke era and their glory days, beginning with a Yamaha Twin Jet 100 in `68. It`ll never happen but consider what could have been had the Yamaha GL750 and the Kawi square four 750 of the early `70`s been allowed to develop beyond the show circuit. With...

Every report, lots of them, with the rider taken to a trauma center or suffering life altering injuries is brutal. When I see or hear the Ornge medevac chopper coming out of my local regional airport every summer I say a quick prayer.

.....with the discussion of the DoFo insurance thread, gotta` wonder. This year has been terrible for motorcycle fatalities and injuries. How long before the companies become even more punitive with rates ( bottom line matters obviously), and dog help us if the gov`t meddles even more in...

A decade of supporting Liberals will get you this. There should be a "stupid" tax they pay for the chopper support. OK....back to bike talk.

Good grief. Three pages of debating over a proven, dependable and reasonably powerful Suzuki V-twin and a wheezy 450 single with suspect reliability and thin dealer network. How did so many of us riding from the late `60s make it this far? :rolleyes:

Nice gesture I suppose, Carney wouldn`t know a Ninja or GasGas if it bit his arse .

Posting your road crimes for all to see....If you`re going to be a criminal, don`t be a stupid criminal.

I subscribed to Performance Bikes for years, pricey but worth it, I`ve still got the sheets of wacky stickers sealed in the bag, only the Brits could produce those loony things. That mag was nearly equal to the late, great Cycle magazine, especially thru the `70`s, I`m still hanging onto...

I throw some cash to my hospital, Sally Ann and some to the local animal shelter. Hell,...they`re all local, within a 5 minute drive. Always makes me wonder how much of a lot of charity gets skimmed for the organizers bank accounts. The shelter is a throw `N go, hang around and take the chance...

My Dad signed up for the Canadian army, underage in late `40. He fought in Italy and Holland. My Grandfather was at sea on freighters world wide, pre-WW2 and served on freighters sailing from Halifax to England for several years. He lost friends to the U-boat packs. He ended up training British...

Some talent on display there wrestling those big pigs around. Ever see the races from Sturgis with an assortment of Harleys in the run whatcha` brung street bikes on a dirt short track? 🤪

Hadda layerdown Hoss, Gobbless. Clibbins are a year round thing. 🙀

I`ve no idea where you can find a copy, but, "Racer.. the Gary Nixon story". By Joe Scalzo I believe, I`ve had mine forever. I met Nixon and his tuner Erv Kanemoto at Mosport, probably `76 or so. He was on a TZ750, likely the OW31 variant. There that weekend also was Gene Romero aboard a TZ750...

It`s the only way to go. I actually cancelled my first appointment for my prostate biopsy. I`d built up big anxiety and trepidation and bailed out. The thought of getting a needle/freezing up the hoop, followed by some little pickle grabber thing :eek: taking tiny bites out of my prostate in a...

That explains my puzzled look when they handed me the squeeze mustard. I got 4 blue dot tattoos, positioning markers, to ensure accuracy with the external beam radiation circular ray gun. One above my navel, another mid groin and one on each hip, line `em up and zap away. The treatment took...

Well played. Prostate cancer is nothing to die of embarrassment about, lots of men just don`t want to do it. Ya gotta` wonder...we have x-rays, CT scans, MRI`s and Ultrasound yet the DRE is king.
