    Happy National "Ride your dirt bike to work day"!

Its really National String Cheese, Pepperoni pizza, Punch, and care for Kids day, but we can squeeze one more on there cant we...

    Does anyone have a favorite carb set or manufacturer?

    I ask as the set on my CB900 is old and getting pissy and is an oddball itself. CR's are more $ than my bike and I was thinking of an older CB750 set, but you see everything out there from oddball singles, to Webers to home made EFI. Just wondered if anyone has a favorite that is simple, cheap...

    Anyone know much about Lifan engines?

    I picked up a cool little XL100 with a lifan styled engine. I see 150FMG and a longer serial number stamped on the case bye the primary sprocket. It is a front clutch 4 speed with 1 down and 3 up. The wiring was all spun up around the primary sprocket and looks pretty tore up, and there is a big...

    Craigslist, whats up with people any more?

    This is the second time I have made a deal with someone over an hour away - 3 hours one way this time - only to have the rug tugged out. We speak, we are normal and discuss a price/time, only to have the dude sell it to someone else after we clearly agree it was sold. Man that burns me up. A...

In western NY we have seen temperatures in the teens, already had road salt/sand laid down and several snow storms worth plowing the driveway for. I am really feeling the loss of TWT, or...
