    Three's a crowd?

    Apparently the popularity of trikes is on the rise. Millennials and older riders and some women are gravitating to the type. I personally do not think that a trike is a motorcycle, side cars excepted. I do not salute trikes as I do real motorcycles, even Harley's.

    Am I the only one?

    I removed my rear wheel to have a new tire installed and I used this trick to reinstall it so I would not have to lift the heavy wheel onto the swing arm forks. With the bike on the center stand, I placed a floor jack under the front of the engine as I would to service the front wheel and...

    277 trouble

    This is a little unusual, but member mcgyver62 is having some issues with his recently completed 277 conversion and he or his mechanic thinks the problem is with the PAMCO 277 ignition. I don't think it is, and after some exchange of thoughts on the subject, I suggested that he return his PAMCO...

    Old dog, new trick?

    Well, the old dog part is right. Not sure about the new trick. It's new to me! I used my shop vac to test the vacuum slides on my carbs. Just hold the vacuum hose on the cylinder side of the carb and open the throttle. The slide will open up proving that there are no holes and no binding and no...

    Riding the XS650

    I rode my '81/H today for the first time in a couple of months. I had been riding my Hondas during that time as the XS650 had its PAMCO ignition removed while I developed a new advance rod for the E-Advancer that is simpler and cheaper. So, it was good to get back in the XS650 saddle. I like my...

    Ever had one of those days?

    Beautiful day for riding today. I decided to go to the hardware store up the Interstate to the next exit. Started out OK, except there was a dysfunctional driver behind me reading my licence plate. I sped up a bit to get ahead of him, but then encountered another dysfunctional driver who was...

    Changing a valve stem on the bike

    It was a nice day for riding today, so I got up and decided to ride my Honda CB750C. When I checked the rear tubeless tire pressure I had to bend the valve stem a little bit and then I heard the dreaded "psssssst". The valve stem was leaking. :doh: A very common occurrence. I would normally...

    OIl pressure insights

    Some time ago I removed the spring loaded pressure bypass from my oil filter because I didn't want un filtered oil to by pass the filter during start up when the pressure is high. I installed a oil pressure gauge because I wanted to be able to monitor the pressure at start up and keep it...
