Here's a pic of the tank I stretched. Still need to do bodywork and prime it before I paint it. The back part is carbon fiber which is covering the welded on part, which will make it easier to do the body work. Eventually I'll cut the seat down once I am set on the tank position.

Was just out earlier today reassembling the clutch. No use in taking pics of that. Diry motor is dirty.

There's a guy I know that races AHRMA who has a Kawi triple. He fuckin hauls the mail on it too.

I recently rebuilt an RD350 bored out to 400 for a race bike. I love me some 2-stroke smoke.

I love the sounds of two stroke bikes. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Ive got an old '74 cb750 chopper (goosenecked Santee / Machine shop frame) I need to sell. I love old honda SOHC 4 bangers. Especially the choppers & cafe bikes.

Something really cool about old cb's. I dig the earlier ones before they stopped using spoked rims in late 70's. I had a BSA lightning which was also cool but the cb's are built to last!

Bros, Japanese bikes aren't technically cafe racers, they just look like them.

Btw, just started reassembling the case and transmission on the '70 Bonneville. It's a slow process, but it's coming along. Sent the cylinders out to be honed the other day too. New pistons and rings are in the mail.

I get alotta flack for my love of Japanese choppers. Iced loved them since I was little, seeing them on the movie Any which way but loose. Even more as I got older, BC no one else has em. Its always Harleys. Something sexy about an old cb750 sitting. On a raked out low riding rigid frame, and an old Springer or girder front end, and 4 pipes instead of 2. Lol. LOVE EM

Actually, I believe he's not man enough for an actual snowmobile, by the looks of the damn contraption.

Snowmachine, Brendan, it's called a snowmachine. Your inner-Alaskan is dying.


For all the dudes that love vintage bikes, I'm currently restoring a '70 Triumph Bonneville with my dad. Will post before/after pics when we finish.

Around these parts, we call them sleds.

I'm a cafe racer fan, so I'm not really into choppers, but I LOVE '60s-'70s Japanese bikes, especially the smaller cc stuff.

to the OP.......
seriously, how do you turn that thing at speed?

You lean into the turns just like riding a quad.
