I don't like posting negative shit, but this has just gotten ridiculous. a few years back I go to SCCA (they are 2 miles from my house) and get a couple of tires for 2 different bikes: bring in the wheels, buy the tires, they install, and I pick them up in a few hours,....I remember they...

I figured this would be the proper forum,..and yes I did a search, but came up with nothing I can really use,...so,...... I recently acquired another 1982 yamaha vision for free (I just had to haul it away), and was going to use it for parts as it had a clean tank and exhaust (parts that...

a few years ago I had some bad things happen to me, got into a personal funk, and ended up getting a couple of tickets that I never took care of. making matters worse, I still continued to ride/drive on the suspended license, and ended up getting 3 more "5 section" citations, in two distant...

I was wondering if anyone has/knows of a TZ125 or RS125 rolling chassis? (or other small 125cc sized GP bike) it can be an older model (twin shocks are ok) as long as it has a straight frame (or straighten-able) I don't need the plastics, tank or the motor, just the frame/swingarm, forks...

been awhile,...... just wanted to drop a note that I am back doing fairing repair/plastic welding/fiberglass/carbon-fiber fabrication if anyone has any crunchy body parts they need back in one solid piece, give me a call. repair only, no paint services, and usually completed in a day, maybe...

some of you guys are so good at motorcycle trivia, I thought maybe I could ask for some help: what is the highest horsepower potential 125cc motor in your opinion? I am building a 125cc speed record bike, and had planned on using a nitrous injected RD125LC yamaha twin two stroke motor, but a...
