    Cafe Racer Fairing (upstate NY)

    http://albany.craigslist.org/mcy/3963998631.html This ad is also mine, price negotiable. I want to see it go to a good home as my plans changed for my build. Doesn't come with mounting brackets-fairing only, and it will fit singles and parallel twins (too narrow for inline fours). -Emmet

    http://albany.craigslist.org/mcy/4022948455.html This is my ad. I picked it up thinking it would be for a project, but then I came across an R1 front end and I don't need both. I'm located in Schenectady, NY.

    help identify this fairing?

    I bought this fairing for $20 at Mid-Ohio last summer and was thinking about using it on my GS750. I haven't checked if it would fit (recovering from surgery) and I actually have no idea what bike it's off of. Take a look and let me know if you know, Thanks!

    what pants do you ride with?

    Post a pic/review of the pants you wear while you ride here. Please keep it to armored pants-department jeans aren't worth shit over 30mph, I don't care how cool you look doing so. Form follows function. Skinny jeans belong nowhere near a man's crotch let alone his motorcycle (unless worn by an...

    xl250 thumper-stator/electrical woes- HELP!

    alright, so I promised everyone I know that I'd finally race my '72 Honda XL250 this Sunday at the Electric City Riders Memorial Cup-the biggest race of the year, in the vintage TT class. However, it runs terrible. When cold, it runs great. After warming up, wind the throttle and it bogs down. I...

    Pictures from my Adirondacks Ride

    Hey guys and gals, I went on a 220 mile ride through the Adirondacks yesterday and thought I'd share some pictures and words. The local British bike shop owner helped draw out some routes for me when I was originally planning a two day, 400+ mile solo ride upstate and through Vermont. That...

    What protective gear do you wear?

    I bring this topic up is because I've seen a lot of pictures of DTT members riding about with a bare minimum of safety gear. Sure, flannel shirts look cool on cafe racers, but they don't have magical protective powers! What kind of gear do you wear?

    how to replace wheel bearings

    If you ever buy a decrepit motorcycle, inspection of the wheel bearings should be near the top of priorities if you plan on riding it. I’ve never replaced wheel bearings so I first checked the manual, which informatively wrote: “replace the bearings if questionable.” Thanks Clymer! It’s funny...

    how to register a web domain?

    I understand you can purchase a web domain name (I'm curious for one to make regarding a school project). Any suggestions? GoDaddy seems to be the popular choice, but are they a good service? Too pricey? I'm not too knowledgeable about this stuff, thanks!

    found A LOT of $$$$

    I got a text from my mom early this morning saying I 'had to call her back it's urgent.' She has a way of making her texts sound like there was a death in the family. I called and she told me she discovered something in my top bureau drawer hidden underneath the newspaper lining. She was...
