大森雅俊 Ohmori Masatoshi (AWESOME!!!)

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...

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.

Dirtquake 2!!!

Just like Wally says in Winners Take All... "Its pandemonium!"
For this I am looking forward to greatly!

Project Big Bopper complete



This barn find Schwinn is finally ready for cruising in style. Barn find, however it was my step father's (still has his name tag license plate affixed with the original bailing wire. I dug this thing out of the grandparents home ranch shed rafters about 8 years ago. I bolted on some old bent renthals, fresh white walls and a basket for Baja to ride in and rode it to work with her every day for a summer. I remember once riding Baja down the bike path and for some brilliant reason i was drinking a 40 oz in broad day light. one hand on the bars as i went to get around a family on foot, with Baja's extra weight in the basket and one hand on the beverage I waded it up. Must have looked brutal because the father of the family started screaming at me, I showed him my un-spilled 40 and told Baja to load up and away we cruised. 
Any hoo, after such derelict debauchery, lack of any bearing grease and a trip to the Minimoto SX in Vegas the bike was once again retired. After moving to Denver, I realised I need this bike. The city needs this bike. New seat, bars, pedals and some grease and lots of bearing love, a whole lot of New Departure hub puzzleing brain busting and bam. gotsa a big version on a sting ray. I is like riding a really tall and drunk horse.
