    Ninja 250 into Cafe Project

    I ride a Kawasaki KZ900, and for the type of riding I mostly do, it is a very heavy bike. Plus, I foresee travelling with the SO, and would like to drive a bike up into the pickup easily. The KZ is just not that kind of bike. Enter the Ninja 250, which is their most popular bike, virtually...

    When I was able, one of the things I most looked forward to each week was the D3T gathering at Sheets, grabbing a coffee, chatting with the early arrivals, putting on the gloves and hopping on the bike for a mysterious trip on local roads that transported me mentally to a focused task that was...

    '84 Honda VF1100 Sabre

    This was one on CL, left to die in a backyard: Starting to take things down to a good "inspection" level, this low mileage bike looks like a good candidate to bring back to original form. Been doing some reading, and discovered that this bike was among the very fastest production bikes of...

    New From Raleigh NC

    Recently found a 81 KZ 750 LTD in a shed while on a photo shoot. Needless to say, I bought it and took it home with me.
