    Ural

    Anyone ever owned a Ural. I never owned a sidecar rig and their don't seem to be a whole lot available from the factory these days as a complete unit. Ural however does have one. I have heard some negative remarks in the past about them but from what I understand they have improved much in...

    ugly bikes

    Happened by the mega bike store the other day to have a look around. Yea, they carried just about every brand imaginable. I guess I am getting old but their wasn't a bike in that entire store that appealed to me. I mean the looks and design of these things with the most ugly seats and exhaust...

    cafe bars

    What kind of handlebars would be appropriate for a café bike? I thought about clip on bars but my headlight ears are mounted at that point on the forks. I have seen inverted boardtrack style bars that I like but don't know if they would look right on a café style bike...

    hoist

    Ok I'm a cheap ass I said it. I have seen guys pulling their engines out of the frame with a hoist (Carbon, Peanut). Seemed to work real well. I really don't have much use for a tool like this other than the same purpose, pulling XS motors. Therefore it would be a sort of single purpose...

    Put some clothes on.

    Phoenix is a miserable place to be in the summer IMHO. Riding a bike or just being outside isn't pleasant. I understand hot but I am amazed at the number of people you see riding this time of year without a shirt, flip flops and no helmet. I've rode motorcycle for over 35 years and a couple...
