Speaking of 2-stroke porn... This just popped up over on in the Classifieds on advrider: An XS500 frame/tank with a 35HP bored and stroked Blaster engine, modified YZ250 suspension, etc etc. Dang that's sweet.

Haven't been on the site in awhile - vacation (4500 mile sidecar trip - awesome!), followed by the requisite weeks of overtime making up for the vacation...:shootme: Sigh. I hope I live long enough to retire. I used to race Open Class in AQMD District 37 desert races with a stripped DT250. The...

Found this in the yard when weed wacking today - dam weeds are almost 4' in height! Came off the bike when I bought 'er. PO got rear-ended by a bus... :yikes: and it shoved him into the car in front. Buggered both steel rims - but the front not too bad. Hub is great, and all spokes look good...

A garage /restaurant... What a concept! I'm not sure about that no beer thing though...

The beauty of the Honda Ruin is in the forgetting...

"If we didn't like visually beautiful bikes we'd all ride V-Stroms or something." Lifted from ADVrider IIRC awhile ago.

Misc stuff

That Hodaka tank is assume!:thumbsup: Always wondered why I did not see builds with that classic shape. If you are interested, there is a guy on UK ebay that sells Yamaha "tuning fork" roundels.

Speaking of saving pics. Maybe three years ago at work we got hit by a jpg ransom malware. Got past multiple software and hardware firewalls. We are an 50 person engineering firm, and we end up taking LOTS of pics on jobsites. I had probably 100-300 photos on each of my 20+ current projects...

Apologies for the confusion BigDawg. I was just lamenting that your ad looked like that to be placed by whoever inherits my several projects that I never seem to be able to complete... Yours is indeed a great looking bike with current add-ons at a more than fair price - it will move soon. GLWS.

Dang. I think I see my several of my projects bikes future when I go room temp. "Someone replaced a whole bunch of parts, new paint, powder, but does not quite run." "The parts are worth more than the bike". "Any offers?" :shrug:

Just checked my STORM thread, and all the pics are still there. Same thing with my XR1200 Hack build over on ADVRider. I have been a paying customer for a couple years on Photobucket - as an earlier poster indicated, maybe they are giving a grace period? That said, I've seen several posts on...

For those using Photobucket.... I've been trying to post pics this am for an update on my STORM, and Photobucket has been all buggered. WTF? Did a little searching, and it appears that they are in the middle of some big changes. Unless you want to pay big bucks really soon ($100 or $400...

So how does it feel riding home from work at 3:00 pm in 113F for 40 miles at 85mph? When I got home, I checked the oven. The lowest temp was 105F. So I turned it on and climbed in. If anybody has not tried them, those blue vests you soak in water and then put on under your mesh jacket are...
