non-xs650

Anyone else ever astonished at the price you sometimes see on a custom XS? I know these bikes were priced at around the $2000 range brand new back in the day because I bought several off the showroom floor when they were still being produced. I have seen some chops, cafe, bobberized bikes...

Taken at the annual Norton Club Hansen dam meet and ride.

I installed the forks, fork caps, brake caliper, master cylinder, wheel, axle, disk and fender from an XS650 on my CB750K-4 for a better ride and better brakes: The fender, caliper, master cylinder, fork caps and axle are from www.mikesxs.com The AGM battery, drive chain and taillight...

Riding bikes is dangerous, especially if you enter a turn with too much speed. http://xtremesportsphotography.photoreflect.com/store/Orderpage.aspx?pi=0QAK01AY080000&po=0&pc=28

Last spring we sold my wife's cb650. She really misses it, so for our anaversery I bought her a 1975 CB750. She remined me of the Simpsons episode where Homer bought Marge a bowling ball with his name on it. I assured her that she can make all the design choices. I am planning on a Pamco...

In the small town where I live, on the south side, there is a Harley Fatboy. The house has a driveway that crosses the front, instead of beside the house. Sitting in the drive is a Harley Fatboy. It just sits there, it is never moved. Spring, summer, fall or winter, year after year it sits...

Anyone watchin right now? This has always been my favorite race. 175 mph on roads that would make me think twice about doing 60!!! Balls of steel on these blokes.

Hey guys, figured I'd post up my latest bike I bought. Got a great deal on it because the guy who owned it needed some extra cash for a trip he was going on. Fortunately he was someone who realized that he was never going to get around to working on it, and he let it go to me. Really appreciate...

Lots of words in this one! My brother decided to come up from San Diego this past weekend to do a motorcycle trip with me up through the gorge in between Oregon and Washington. I live at the bottom of Oregon on the coast in a town called Brookings. Our plan was to ride up to Hood River the...

I am about to leave Korea and hit the states. I have to pick up a lovely XS-650 in PA, and haul it to NC. If it is put in corner to corner would a 4X6 trailer get the job done or do I have to go with a 4X8??

Somebody restored a motorcycle and had to give it back to the rightful owner 37 years after it was stolen: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2012/aug/03/stolen-motorcycle-returned-after-37-years/ Use your heads people. I'm sorry my partners and I couldn't have invented...

I got a bud up in Saskatoon coming to Wisconsin. I think I have him convinced he should ride a motorcycle home for fun and to help pay for the trip. So any of you north of the border guys done this? Any good, bad things to watch for? I am thinking a 80's 90's battle wagon, oriental full...

I'm sure lots of folks here have "gone for a clean look" and gotten rid of turn signals on your bikes. I, for one, will always go for visibility, because I have been run over by and idiot before. This story drives home why it might be in your best intrests to maintain and use your signals...
