non-xs650

Barbarians by the Bikes The snowbanks have melted here in the northeast, Daylight Savings Time has begun, and the black leather crowd is dragging their Harley-Davidson motorcycles from their winter storage. I have yet to see a robin, but it is mid-March and it looks like a typical spring in...

I know you'll all probably say yes, but I'll throw it out there. I'm rushing out after work to check out a 75 400/4. The guy has been getting rid of his huge bike collection in RI for quite sometime, the bike runs and is only missing a clutch cable and a side cover. He wants 800 for the...

Hey guys I just picked up a neglected 2001 Harley Evo custom hardtail! Might have done this in haste, but I kind of need the project now since the previous one is winding down. Let me know what you think good or bad!

http://www.mikesxs.net/products-38.html#products Hi guys and gals!:D Was wondering if you all could help me on my carby problem with my 2003 Suzuki marauder. A couple years ago, I did a baffle-ectomy to my 805cc Suzi, and sounds awesome!!:D Unfortunately, it stumbles and hesitates from 1/2...

I subscribe to Motorcycle Classics mag and also they have an email newsletter they send that sometimes has some interesting stuff. Imagine riding from Kitty Hawk , NC to Santa Monica , CA on a 3300 miles odyssey on a pre 1916 bike? On a newer bike it would be quite a trip let alone on one...

Hi Guys, So. I'm trying not to cry, and at the same time, I am really happy. Not unusual in my life, and the reason is that I just sold one of my BSA's. I hate seeing bikes go away, but with no room and not having ridden it in a year, it was time to give it to a good home, and I did. It's...
