non-xs650

So a couple buddies and myself were doing car and bike stuff in my drive way when this dude on this cool bobber drove by and decided to stop in and hang out. He had and 80 something yamaha 350...from what I remember (drinking beers in the driveway.) I didn't get any pics, my bad. He took off...

As I was giving suggestions for a second alternate bike I went ahead and got one. It even runs only 11,000 miles. Paid $600.00 delivered to my door. The "Joker" PO must have painted it with a vacuum cleaner or roller or who knows. So it needs a fresh finish, carb cleaning of course and a...

I ran across this and thought some of you might appreciate his work. http://www.browndogwelding.com/new/ I wish I were half as creative.

I've been thinking about getting a more modern motorcycle and the only bike that suits all of my needs appears to be a Suzuki VX800. High torque, sporty but not uncomfortable, aftermarket support, watercooled, and under 900cc. I would love to hear from people who have seen or ridden one. They...

I just wanted to take a minute - and I'm sure I speak for all of us here - to make sure that Travis knows how much I appreciate all of his efforts to give us this Grade-A home on the web, as well as thank the owner of, and participants in, the former 650rider.com, without whom this might not...

This BMW based rig struck me as being similar in many ways to the sidecar ideas Gordon Scott executed based on a XS 650. Lots of novel ideas and photo's to copy for those interested in off road rigs and custom modifications...

I went on a group ride today with 9 other people. Everyone else was on sportbikes and I had my FZ1. It was hot as hell and humid. Having all black gear didn't help. All went well except one guy on an R6 was taking a corner pretty hard and hit a long tar strip and went down. He lowsided...

I just rebuilt my buddies carbs for his 85 or so yamaha virago xv1000. The bike was gummed up but would start on one cylinder before I took the carbs off. I rebuilt the carbs and set everything back to where it was. Now the bike won't start. It's getting fuel and spark but too much fuel...

:wtf: I've been in love with the MT-01 ever since first seeing the prototype that was on display at the 1999 Tokyo motor show. It's been in production for five years and is available in Japan, Europe, Canada, Australia, even India, for pete's sake! But not the US. Why is this, I ask? Does...

Just had to share my non xs project :D My Buell 1203cc cyclone re-paint. Wheels are painted white and will put back together this week, post finished pictures then. I was not sure of the paint job in my head but now it's done I "think" it looks cool? Just wet sand and float coat and it's done...

I just bought my second bike! 01 Road King Classic. 53k on the clock. Only paid $9500. I couldnt part with my XS though, it will be my daily driver. The Road King is for trips and to ride some tail around. Here are some pictures.

Probably not the best way to impress people with a burnout ... :doh::laugh::yikes:

Rebuilding a 1981 Honda Trail CT110. I actually learned to ride on this bike years ago, and logged a few off-road miles on it before something broke inside the motor. I used that as an excuse to buy a KX125 MX bike at the time =) Fast forward a number of years to about 2 weeks ago. My wife...

I am helping a friend bring an old bike back to life. I could have sworn it was an XS650 when I saw it before... when we looked at it last weekend in his barn (literally!), I was surprised to see that it was in reality a 750 Special. It's all there, but it needs some work. Things I know about...
