    I need to have a bike for riding the backroads around here, Western WI, and around our place in Florida. The roads in FL are all nice low traffic or State or National dirt forest roads. I also need to make some progress on cleaning some of the projects out of the garage. I also have been...

    El Camino or Ranchero?

    I am looking to get a vehicle that I can use for occasional trips to the store, weekly trip to the dump, maybe a run to the lumber yard and pull a bike trailer.

    Ascot FT500 racer

    I have been racing the Honda 500 singles for years. I got my first XL500 based race bike in about 1981. I then built a series of them that I raced over the next 10 years or so. I based them either on XL or FT 500s. They both work about the same and I always just used whatever I could get cheap...
