    Street/trackers, cafe bikes, dual sport/supermoto in or near Delaware Ohio?

    I live in southern Delaware. I teach at Olentangy Liberty Middle School. I don't know any riders in the area in spite of being here 5 years. I knew Jeff Hinds of the late Hinds Motorsports, because he lived in New Philadelphia Ohio where I lived for 50some years and rode for about 40 years...

    I just got a look at the Duro tire that is a Pirelli MT53 copy

    The tires were 4.00-19s that a friend got for his Triumph street/tracker. They are labeled as 6 plys, but from what I checked out they didn't seem much stiffer in the sidewalls than most 4 ply tires I've used. They seemed to have decent flex. They looked a WHOLE lot like the MT53 that was on...

    Honda CL77 street/tracker

    Here are some shots of my brother's Honda CL77 (305) Sonicweld replica he built about 8-10 years ago. Here's the article http://www.honda305.com/racing/index.htm under the Vintage Racers Flat Track CL77 subject. It has a Bultaco Pursang front fork with shortened travel and a Bultaco...

    Project flat track on the street...

    Finally came to the conclusion it wasn't some show bike street/tracker, it was my 500 flat tracker I'd build if I was racing, much like the old Sherpa S in 73. No worries about perfection in finish or making the simplest part some machining trick or CNC issue. The hammer marks stay in the...

    Some of the results of the holidays - 78 SR500 Street/tracker progress

    Here are the shots, let the sh-- fly... :D It was a pain to try to figure out how to mount the rear fender. Should it be a loop or a support. I ended up with this support made from a cut up old Yamaha enduro grab rail. It was wedged into the back end of the frame where it was cut off, then...

    Well, it's Christmas break... now what shall I do?

    I woke up about 3:30 am Friday morning to a massive storm of neural synapse activities in my brain relating to my SR500 street tracker project. I realized I had like a ful week of time at my parents' home (read as reasonably equipped heated garage) to help my college attending daughter living...

    Do street trackers fit here somewhere?

    I'm into the old school superbike look and street trackers. Seems a lot of bikes fit here somewhere. The Superbike look kind of fits with the clubman crew, but is there a niche for the streetracker here?

    Fitting a second gen 750/900/1100F tail to make a clubman/flat track seat

    If you're doing a clubman or the like and your bike has a steel seat pan you can make a nice looking Honda RS750 type seat/tail for it. I did it for my SR500 street tracker project. I made it for my SR 500 using a second generation CB750F tail. i simply slotted the original seat base near the...

    In the middle of Ohio in the middle of the U.S.A. in the middle of North America

    Just joined up. Interesting stuff. I went through all the pictures in the one thread and decided it looked interesting. I like the old school superbike look - thus the Zephyr. It 's the street ride in the flat lands here around Columbus. Dual sport riding on the dirt and gravel roads of...
