What about setting a railway tie or comparable into a trough with 8-12" of packed limestone and nailing some 2X6 or what ever to it at the floor level? Add a couple rebar pins to the rwy. tie and it's not going anywhere.

It's subjective. I saw a 25 year old DRZ400 in great shape @ $3000 ready to certify. It would seem to me to be a good deal as there isn't any difference between that on and a more recent one for twice the price. It would probably be better suited for my off road riding/dual sporting than my...

I cleaned the fuel injector in my Husqvarna 250. I had bought an Enduro Engineering kit to do so, but despite saying it was for my model year it didn't fit. But all it took was a couple small bull clips with light wire connected to it and a 9Volt battery and it activated the injector so I could...

Walridge is the Cdn. Distributor for Ikon. Maybe they have something.

Easier said than done. I offered one guy full ask, if he'd get the safety. Nope. All the bikes I'm looking at are road legal from the factory, KTM500EXC-F, Husqvarna FE501S, KTM 690 Enduro, Husky 701 Enduro and Honda CRF450L. When I list mine for sale later in the month I intend to offer it...

Yeah, I wonder about exhaust issues too. I've been looking for a different dual sport and if it doesn't at least come with the original silencer I'm looking elsewhere.

Bike has disks at both ends, so not concerned. I have ordered new tires but they haven't arrived. Current ones are 10 years old but tread is fine for certification, so I'm curious about the date issue as well. My Norton has rear drum brakes and the wheel removal/installation isn't that strait...

How much FARTHER could it possibly fall?????? I mean zero is still zero, and dropping below nothing is still impossible isn't it? The stock certificates are LITERALLY not worth the paper they're printed on, yet the company is still operating?

Uhh... is their stock sitting at 3.4/100's of a cent?????????

Going to my local garage in town this week with my 1982 BMW. Mechanic isn't concerned about the process and will do it while I wait.

Somebody gave me a DVD of it quite a few years ago. Never watched it. Really don't feel like I missed anything. Think I tossed it out.

Fine I won't eat the chain grease. But what about the O ring? I bet it tastes like licorice.

"WOOHOO I BOUGHT BEER!" Indeed......ME TOO!!! Maybe (re)brand the the new division "Sportster - by Harley Davidson." Revive and release a Bronx with orange and black XR750 cosmetic flourish, emphasizing the Sportster brand aspect. Yeah, Made (really just assembled) in USA but start from there...

I'm with you. If it was good enough for Alan Girdler it's good enough for me.

Well what better time to get going than when the going is getting tougher? Or perhaps, being thrown out on your arse because you squandered the best (last?) opportunity to grow the company beyond expensive, obsolete retiring-dentist cycles? Which was planned by the last guy. More likely, he...

I agree. I'm going to be in the same boat, price-wise. I suppose the positive is I can buy something that will also be cheaper.

If you're using T bars 8 feet is wide as you should go, 6 is better if you're using wire farm fencing. I have a weighted tube pounder and they go in pretty well.

It resembles the BMW G650 X-Country, which sold like expired milk. Not a bad bike, but more suited to Brit/Euro green-lane riding, especially as a 350. Actually, the BMW would be quite suitable for plonking around out here in the Northumberland hills and east.

Very cool restoration project, and a pretty rare model. Great find! But as a life long Guzzi fan (though never an owner - yet) a Vetter fairing of any design seems a stylistic mismatch and perhaps outright heresy. Just me and my preconceived notions.

I don't know. Doing that will probably mean that he's throwing the stuff out in a few years after it's been kicking around in the way. Unless the bits will fit a decent range of years then the pool of prospective buyers could be a bit small.
