Bike (and its chrome) looks great. I agree, steel wool or Brillo/SOS pads do wonders on chrome without scratching. I did a half-hearted...

I removed pipe wrap that was applied to single-wall chromed-steel aftermarket head pipes. It definitely left residue shadows on the...

Good thing that its the crank/crankcase that saw water contamination. The crankcase and its contents are more imminently rebuildable...

:agree:, the F150 is OK and will plow through the deep stuff, but in terms of overall stability in snowy conditions, I'll take a 4-wheel...

Nice! I also fancy old-school receivers and have a few squirreled away. My dilemma is that I know nothing about them, much less have the...

I've had these Hurst shifters since the mid-80's, when I was running a '79 Malibu with a 350/M21 combo. The one that was in that car was...

Reviving an old thread...fun small projects this winter: compressed-air moisture condenser / moisture separator, posted in @Jim's...

Retirement to a shack in the Caribbean Florida looks better and better. At least until the hurricane comes. Well, at least three did...

Without looking him up, I was reasonably certain that he would prove to be either a trials or enduro rider. Man has an impressive record!

True enough...using knobs to do what knobblies are designed for and vice-versa may not be the best experience.

The necessities of Northern living! My place has a lot of driveway, parking and walkways to clear. Quad with a blade and two vintage...

As @Paleomechanic reported Tuesday, Thursday brought 46 cm of snow to Montreal. Tomorrow we are promised another 25 to 40 cm. That makes...

Undoubtedly a beautiful build, but somehow the low bars and knobs are a little incongruous. Where are you going to ride that bike that...

Great to see your son engaged. Working on a bike (or anything else with Dad, for that matter) beats the hell out of what most kids his...

Well, so much for the 650 guys telling me to stick to my 650 guns!!! Not surprised though; my understanding is that the SR500 is a...
