Am looking into shed costs Eric. Gonna have to go big like you.

genius table with jack! want!

Each to their own. Even dealers can't agree. I bought a used Honda XR125 for our youngest. I prefer the Yamaha brand since they support their old bikes with spares unlike Honda and some others but I picked it up for a song from a kid who has outgrown it. It is actually old wine in a new bottle. It's ...

Let me share something I found out today. I bought a generic complete gasket set for my XT 600 for = $37 at the wholesaler. I only needed the clutch and flywheel cover gaskets but they are =$40 for the two OEM. The brand is NE Brand Super Gasket which has some funny Chinglish on the package ...

In my youth I rode an XT500 which got stolen ...

You would not believe that I was soaked during a sever drought when I took that pic of my 1984 34l project in progress. Went on an adventure ride to town tempting the storm gods who caught up with me around and was forced to endure a cuppa at the Steampunk cafe. Then headed up home into into hills ...

Wow Keny. That's a hell of a project. Once I figure out how to upload pics onto this forum which is as old in technology as my 34l I'll show you mine.
