    Mine didn't make it up onto the kegs, but sat on the floor at the Garage Brewed Show.

    Building my own two-stroke "Mongrel" - Inspired by CharlieT & TedT

    Ha! I've inspired a few people in the past, but it usually ended up with citations being issued or trips in the back of a squad car! Good luck with the build and can't wait to see it progress. A sneak preview of one of our latest projects here in the shop. Mongrel II, or M2 for short....when...

    Does anyone still build Cafe Racers or is it not fashionable anymore?

    The bike Honda never built - or, my MR250 Elsinore for the Vintage 1000

    Yamaha bllue tape on a red Honda tank? Tacky, at best. SHould have used the Honda red tape. Or an Ichiban sticker probably would have worked even better. They are impervious to everything.

    If you just google "derestricting Aprilia Falco" you'll find a bunch of threads about it. Involves sniping a wire and removing some airbox bung. ITs a very simple way to bump up the hp by around 20hp.
