New Ducati Hypermotard-2013- Me want for Pikes Peak!

Texas RMEC round 2

The weather here in Denver was shit but like a good hostage; "IT PUTS THE BIKE IN THE VAN OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!" I obeyed the moto gods, loaded up my 5mm deep well socket with some of Colorado's finest and headed south.

The Texas red dirt was moist and the Honda and I were on a blistering pace. Then I smelt pancakes. This is usually bad during an enduro as it means one of two things; I am way off course and am near a Waffle House (not such a bad thing) or I am losing coolant. I check right boot, it is dry. I check left boot, it is soaked. I finished the test in a ball of pancake (waffles if you prefer) steam. Apparently while trying to pass a slower rider I made some contact and tried to peel off my radiator. The elbow pipe was no longer attached to the radiator so I used some quick aluminum to make a quick fix before the start of the next test. Finished test. Filled radiator back up. Transit to next and final special test. Fill Radiator back up and finished 5th overall out of 20 some AA riders and overalled the A class by almost 5 minutes. Hooray for air cooled Hondas!

Over the Line

Nitro Circus Hardcore Enduro Mesquite 2013 (Lord Mick Devours the competition)

The tale of orphan Annie and the hill

This is a story about what i did with my winter time last year and how I won enough purse money to open up my own shop.

Started off with a donated '05 CRF450X jumble. What was left of a bike that had a hard life. Sidestand wore all the way through the swing arm. I exhumed it from the grave and began to perform the necrophilia.

donated CR250 yokes. my ol flattrack suspension. The mag wheels where going to require to much fabricating so I found a sponsor in Warp9 and laced up to some old hubs.

20$ NOS yosh system,  250$ blown up '08 engine (i spent many hours inside this engine) moved the motor mounts for the newer engine keeping crank shaft, counter shaft and rear axle on a dead level plane. No tig welding, oxy/acct torch on the aluminum, try it sometime.

where the magic happens.

ironing for speed.

In early testing I doubled the cost of the project by squeaking two top ends. With extra power comes extra heat. retard me learned to retard ignition.

Luckily I brought ol Molly along for testing and she was happy to put on Annie's shoes for a practice day. With stock motor Molly ran with in three seconds of the fastest time on the bottom section used for qualifying.

The junk yard beauty put my tuning skills to the test. She ran perfect all race week. The race was a good one with moments of ragged edge fear and precise throttle cable stretching. The win was sweet and even more so doing it with Annie. 450 champ and 6th overall motorcycle (with 750 and 1205cc)

Only 121 days until the 91st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb!

This is just fucking great. This is why flattracking has stole most of my interest of doing anything else on a dirt bike. found it on the always swell sideburnmag.blogspot

GT 550 saga

No address zip code or area code for the phone but I reckon it is Federal Blvd, two blocks from here. Any one ever hear of this shop? Is she a local Betty.

99.9% original. ditching the crash bar and needs proper seat cover.

a little carb love needed otherwise in damn nice condition.

Had to sell my beloved green gt550 last month to pay rent. I cried. every day some wanker comes in my shop trying to sell me some piece of shit. "I only service em!" ..."wait did you say two stroke? You want how much? better bring it in and let me take a look." I feel guilty about what I payed for this cherry. I only hope the nip of love does not attract me to the point of not being able to re-sell her. ah fuck who am i kidding...

Joe's bike

 After concurring Pikes Peak many times on his beautiful XS650(my inspiration) and setting the land speed record on his flat track looking XR750 in Bonneville, Joe is building another bike for the salt. Check it: 

Grab bull by horns

I got a couple of 350 RD rats I  am making a track bike out of. anyone have any ideas or performance parts kickin around I am interested. Maybe when they sort out the class rules at Pikes Peak this will be a chariete to the clouds.

Here is how i see things; "My main man"

2 stroke 750 shoot out!

They are both slowly coming back to life after much Newbold carb love. both had rohted complete through float bowls on the up hill side of the sidestand. bad gas kills, especially in sleeping bags. Kawasaki sat 20 years. Suzuki sat 30+ years. I am gald the neighbors have not called the fire deptatment on my dazzling displays of smoke shows. caster 927. aroma. me amora.

dig my groove homeslice?
