Bought this off a really flaky guy in NYC. He had registration papers in his name, but had to send away...
First one is a CT90 (sold in the states from the early 70s until 79, when it was replaced by the CT110 which was sold until '86), and which is known as a Postie bike in Australia. It's not a Cub/SuperCub C70/C90, as it has a four speed transmission with dual-range and lower final drive gearing...
I'm going to London for a week on from Sunday to Friday. If you can find a UK dealer who can ship it to my hotel in London for delivery on or before next Thursday 4/14, I can hand carry it back to the US for you and ship it from my place in NY. I assume you'll reimburse me for the shipping...
While this may happen, I think 99% of the problems people have, especially on the street are caused by looking too close, not too far out.
The numbers of riders you see on the street who are riding "hex head nuts" instead of a smooth line is overwhelming. And that is almost always caused...
1997, pulled over by the LAPD for Exhibition of Speed - 23109(c). Was wheelie-ing a Vespa GS150 down Wilshire Blvd. Guilty as charged (even at 25mph). That cost a lot of money (about $300) but at least it was charged as an infraction, not a misdemeanor. This was long before the "stunting"...
Which one - the Bonnie or the America? I like the Bonnie. The America doesn't do all that much for me, but it's cool in that it's a "different" cruiser.
If you ever do decide to get a FZ6, let me know. I have a 2009 with 7000 miles on it, and I'd potentially be interested in swapping it for...
If you are torn between the Z1000 and the Ninja 1000, be sure to look at insurance rates. Because the Ninja is a ZX bike, for some insurance categories, it goes in the same bracket as supersport liter bikes, so much more expensive. For that bike, it's worth finding an insurer that goes by cc...
Have to be honest. I have a guy near me who will wash the bike for $20 and detail it twice a season for $125. And the thing is, he does a ridiculous job. Pulls the seat, pulls the tank, q-tips between the cooling fins on aircooled bikes, etc.
I wash my own dirtbikes, but this guy has got...
I've got a Shoei X-11 in white. It flows pretty good, but obviously more vents equal more noise. It is significantly cooler (and louder) than my RF1000 or RF800.
With all due respect, there's nothing happening here, you were just paying attention to the gauges more than usual.
- Oil viscosity and coolant temperature have effectively nothing to do with one another.
- Coolant temp is modulated by thermostat
- Engines don't reject much heat through...

When I ride my Honda C70 around the...
I've had the good fortune to ride a huge number of bikes, and as of right now, there's nothing that I really really lust for. I suppose a Ducati 900SS FE, a FJR1300, and a R60/2 would be fun to have in the stable. I'd also like a 20+hp Honda C70. Because that would be fun.
