I bought a 1985 750 Slabby to restore (pics coming). They were always one of my favorite bikes although I never owned one back in the day. I got the frame, fork legs, swingarm and footrests Vapor Blasted and hit them with some red Scotchbrite. It came up a treat so I don’t think I’ll bother...

Trying to get my Mother in Law set up with Shippsy account. For anyone that has used it... I assume that you just put the address they provide making sure her name and the SHP# is on there. The package then shows up at their facility in Niagara Falls, she pays any charges they may be...

I’m rebuilding my little RZ350 race motor for this year as I had to replace 2nd gear, so I always replace the crankshaft seals when its apart as its cheap insurance against the left cylinder running lean. I bought that set of seals in January 2020 the last time I had the motor apart and they...

Had a ride on a friend’s Tuono 660 today. All I can say is wow, I can’t get the grin off my face. That motor just wants to be reved. It seems to be happiest when it’s getting a lot of throttle but unlike a big bike wont bite you (as bad) and the torque and gearing is all about the real world...

Two-time AMA Pro Superbike Champion Wester “Wes” Steven Cooley died Saturday, October 16 at his home in Twin Falls, Idaho, from complications of diabetes. He was 65 years old. 65 years is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. RIP Wes, the original #34

I do some racing with AHRMA and they announced their schedule for next year and there are only 2 rounds that are even close enough to attend in 2022. It not a lot of track time and I really don’t know if its worth the time and expense of preparing 2 bikes for it. There is a lot of local club...

A quick question for smaller displacement racers. I used to run a 150/60 Pirelli Supercorsa on the back of my RZ 350 endurance bike but they stopped importing them into North America. I emailed Pirelli and they said it wasn’t worthwhile as they didn’t sell a lot. That’s fair enough. I can see...

I was just watching one of the local NBC Affiliates here and they were talking about areas that were doing well managing the COVID outbreak. They actually mentioned Ontario as doing really well with cases steadily trending down from 5000 new cases/day in the summer to 500 now, and over 80% of...

Its great when the UPS man shows up bearing gifts. He just dropped this off today. Its a custom arm for a RGV250 wheel that's going into a RD400 frame with a monoshock conversion. Had to wait about 5 months on it because of the eccentrics but I think it was worth it. I can get on with welding...

I’m selling a 1976 TS250 thats been sitting in my Brothers garage for some time. It’s in great original condition but when I rode it, it didn’t have any turn signals, just the front and rear light. I used hand signals. I believed I safetyed it this way But that must have been 20 years ago The...

Trudeau... Not Bieber... LOL I was driving into work this morning listening to one of the morning shows and they said that Trudeau's wife is dating Idris Elba??? WTF... He wasn't married before was he? Come to think of it she doesn't seem to be around and he is always standing alone at the...

I "virtually" went to the Super-Series and CSBK events at the weekend with RaceHero and RaceMonitor. Technology is amazing. Seems like after a delayed start to the season there were a reasonable amount of entries at both. Dumas did really well. Nice to see things getting back to normal. I...

I’m building a another RD350LC. This one is a bit of a resto-mod using a RZ350 bottom end as a set of CPI 66mm Cub Cylinders and a +5 billet crank. This will provide 403 cc’s of CO2 emitting, global warming, ice melting fun. The engine was finished before Christmas and I was waiting on the...

Well, another good sign that things are getting back to somewhat normal... The NBA opens its doors again to fans. Managed to get 2 tickets to Golden State V's Denver on the 23rd. It's only half seating capacity but still. I've been going crazy in the house. Its just a pity Golden State sucks...

He was only 60. He definitely fought COVID as hard as he could. Great rider and the former boss of another great rider #58

Folks. I just sold a little GT185 to a Gent in Oshawa. It’s race ready and he is going to use in the VRRA next year. I’ve had it for about 15 years. I will never ride it again and my kids are not interested so it’s time to let it go. The VRRA have posted their schedule and it looks like they...

Anyone ever used their connectors? Is one better that the other? TIA

I had a FZ750. It was a great bike and I always had a soft spot for them. I think this looks just amazing. They really look nice with Modern running gear. Yamaha, if you are listening we need a retro FZ750

Derek was very well known to all those who liked RD/RZ/TZ Yamaha's and was the brains and driving force behind Hejira Racing All through the 70's, 80's and 90's he fabricated custom frames and swingarm's for Yamaha's line of street and race twin cylinder two strokes. He also had Spax...
