I was on a different forum talking about getting some custom Taco Bell graphics made for my pit bike. Kinda took me back to the glory days of the Peak Antifreeze days. I swear that anytime I'm looking to buy antifreeze for my car-- I look for Peak to this day! It occurred to me that there hasn't...

I need to lace up a new set of rims on my whip. The stock rims have some hops in them. The Excels are about 130 bucks each, and the Pro Wheel rims are only 90. Are the Pro Wheels chinko? Are the Excels worth the extra $80? If my dad were reading this, he'd say that ya get what ya pay for, but he...

I was about three days late trying to place my order (at the IPO price anyway). Were any of y'all able to get anything? I may be able to get something next week if the stock does well, but it will likely be above $80, and likely $85 if it gets there. I imagine it will in the next month or so if...

I think we've talked about this before, but how do you find OEM color codes for a perfect OEM paint match? Does the code just match the color, or would it be the exact stock paint match? I've talked to people about painting frames, and they've asked me things I have no idea about, like... "Do...

So I was thinking about this... and yes, I think way too much! BUT! How does a two stroke always run in the same direction? What keeps the crank from spinning in reverse? Is it the ignition timing? Just kinda curious. Could it be timed to run backwards? --L*64

I see what Doug Dubach, Scott Burnworth, and Dave Miller have been up to in their retirement.... This is why I wanted that YZ one hunnert so bad! http://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/Doug-Dubach-Moto-1-Diamond-Dons-YZ100-Two-stroke-warning,1269168

So I've been doing some online surfing, and looking at vintage bike builds. If earning a living wasn't mandatory, I'd spend my time building cool $h!t, like vintage motorcycles, cars (I'm a Corvette freak, partial to all pre- 1974's. I actually have a super sweet '04 project I put together, but...

I know Pit is going to think I'm about to tear into the new to me YZ100 and get all stupid with it when he sees this.... and I probably will! I'm always building some sort of obscure piece of moto machinery, and I'm always wondering what I'm going to do with the frames. Depending on who you...

Well-- In true Wizard of Oz admonishment, I found the elusive '83 YZ100 I was looking for, right in my own backyard. Z-Man mentioned this piece a few years ago, but I wasn't super interested in vintage racing, other than to show up and look at all the super cool old bikes. It really didn't occur...

Like the title says-- how do you finance a used bike from a private seller? Ya, I DO have the cash, but I need my cash for other things, and I like to finance something every now and again just to keep my FICO score strong. I have perfect credit, but not really any income. Is this possible? --L*64

I've had some interest in doing some vintage racing that would be reasonably local. I've looked up the racing classes online and they're confusing at best with different classes for different series. Do you guys pick your favorite bike, then figure out what class you and the bike qualify for? Or...

I've got a set of the really cool JT retro gear. Love it-- but JT doesn't make a chest protector that I'm aware of? That's stupid. Do I get some other brand of clear chest protector, and pull the decals? Get something to run UNDERNEATH? If you have this gear, what are you running? I'm a freak...

Hahaha! I figured that would get your attention. Here's the problem... My GF loves riding her TTR125, but she can't seem to find a set of boots that will fit her legs. Her calfs are too thick somehow?? She can't get them buckled w/o a gap up the side. We've been to Kame's, and the Iron Pony in...

So I had to fire my M/C mechanic of more than 20 years. The guy's work is/was fantastic, but a serious psychological, and pill popping problem has now made the guy impossible to deal with. I'd actually do better by paying with pills rather than money-- sounds funny, but it's really not at all...

Went to the 'Road yesterday! hahaha! A day of FREEZING temps WITH unpredicted rain! Aside from the crappy day weatherwise, and a muddy practice--- I think the crew did a really good job all in all. Second set of motos-- track was nice. Layout is alotta fun too. Only thing I'd wish for is to be...

So I'm not one of the lucky ones (despite the user name) who gets health insurance from work... I actually have to PAY out of my pocket for a high deductible policy. You may not know me-- but I don't race other than pit bikes, and some XR100 powered road racing. Alot less risky IMO than say...

Anybody hear about this?? I was a huge fan! The guy was bad ass in the '80's. I hear that he may be paralyzed if he recovers at all. Sucks!!! --L*64

I think we talked about this awhile ago, but I did a search, and couldn't find the thread. This winter I was looking to slightly DE-tune my 150R (not the trail bike I always ride-- that's an F). I wanted to do this b/c I wanted to increase the longevity of the motor, and to make it a little...

We b!tch when the track is crappy, so we gotta give props when the track is sweet-- right? Even though I just ride pit bikes-- I gotta hand it to Larry and Co. The damn track was fantastically prepped this time. It may be the first time in 25 years of riding there, that I went out for practice...

OK-- three rear flats in three rides = me pissed off! Just so you know-- the tube wasn't pinched, I'm running a rim lock, I checked the tire for anything sharp sticking in it, it's not torn at the valve stem, the spokes are taped with duct tape. No spokes are loose. What the hell could be the...
