http://newjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/2573382154.html That's my bike, help me sell it to make some cash to use for a movie I'm making about electric bikes. If you email me, let me know you are a DoTheTon member. I'll drop the price to $1,750.

Hey Guys, I'm having trouble getting my bike started. Last time it was running was last May. I had some electrical issues since then which now seem to be resolved but I still can't get the bike running. Proper voltage seems to be at mains, black (white striped) and Black cables seem to...

I was wonder what the minimum voltage your bike needs in order to start and run.. Whats it run at normally, 12.6 Volts if im not mistaken? I recently had a discharge problem, bad wiring job on my part throwing in an aftermarket temp switch. 9.99volts was too low to get it to kick. Wanted to...

This has some great old footage, and race history. The 'challenge' between the Nissan 300zx, Cruiser (Honda Saber 700) and Freddie's Honda SuperBike reminds me of a top gear segment thats taking place in 1985. All in all pretty choice video. Freddie Spencer Explains Motorcycle Racing 1/3...

Really neet, 3 parts total, home video of the 1970 Isle of Man TT. Narrated by two of the racers. So much good goin' on in this video. 1970's Motorcycle Racing Legends-1

I thought you guys maybe interested in engines of all kinds. Even the far out! Read a neat article on "The Papp Engine" online. It's an engine powered by explosive reactions teased out of inert gases. and here's a link of someone who tried to build one of their own. Warning:: Video is of Very...

Vans 4Q Sk8-Mid Lmtd Pretty sweet, though it is a shoe ad. Dig that blog.

Hi, So finally had enough of the 'freak' wiring issues. While I know i can keep patching this monster, the metal connectors are now crumbling. and things are getting more and more ghetto-fied. While i see some CB550k ('75) harness come and go on ebay, prices fluctuate probably as much as...

at least not directly, but here's a silly video making fun of hipsters. Pretty great, so many good lines throughout. Dom Mazzetti vs. Hipsters "And they wear shoes that look like hooves... they're like flesh colored." haha And I keep singing that dog days song in the stupid voice.

Hi, I'm having trouble gettin the front axle off of my 75' CB550. I'm trying to get at the bearings. The Chlymer manual says to remove the axle nut. Easier said than done. That is on wicked tight. I was also wondering if i gatta spin the metal piece that's on the outermost left side. It...

I've read about doing swaps for Hayabusa or Gixxer Master Cylinders. I was wondering if it was a bolt on affair. that banjo fitting just goes right onto the new cyclinder and ta-da we have working break? If there's any that you recommend or that have been using for a while I'd def be interested...

http://pictures.todaysbigthing.com/2010/09/17 Pretty fantastic picture, not only the rider. also cool anime style effect with the oval motorcycle wheels due to crappy cell phone camera. Can't figure out whether this guy just couldn't make up his mind that morning, or if hes heading to do one...

I thought this was an interesting interview/article on what the founding fathers thought of Public Domain and Copyrighting materials. Imagine that the copyright was so short, how everything was to go into public domain to "be used and improved by everybody." what a fantastic idea. And the fact...

We'll I got these recently off of Ebay, they were barely used and I only wore them 2 times. Begrudgingly I have to admit they don't fit. I'm a size 11 and they are a size 11, but they have just too much room inside. I'd say they'd fit someone 11 1/2 or if they want to go 11 with a thick sock or...

Whats the road to watch out for by you? Today I was up in New York State, just over the NJ border on Rt. 87. I only went a few exits into the state, but couldn't believe the driving. I know some places you have to become accustomed to the local driving style, but these people where just plain...

I'm trying to figure out the name of this seal so I can come up with how to fix it. I've noticed small amounts of oil dripping off the bottom of the shifter of my 75' cb550k, I figured I'd look into when i was changing the sprockets and chain (not riding the bike in the mean while) now I'm in...

I just started watching this one Canadian show. You can find it all over youtube, or surfthechannel. "The Trailer Park Boys", I've heard about it for a while but now that I've finally seen it. I'm hooked. Definitely check it out. What other shows do you guys watch, got any gems to share?

Hey, I was wondering if there is anyplace recommended for wheel bearings (for my '75 CB550K). I'm emailing Z1 Ent. about theirs since they have one out of stock. I much rather buy a front and rear kit or package deal if possible. Thanks, Pete

There is a thread ADPete set up in the east coast riders section, http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=16966.0 Let's try an set up some sort of regular meeting. I'm down for it! Anyone else who lives in the area (I'm coming from Jersey), come by and shoot the shit for a while. Riding...

Hey, So I'm nearly ready to buy a replacement chain and sprocket set but looking at the bike I'm not sure that I really need it. I can't tell when the last time the chain has been changed, I've only had the bike for about year now. While the chain looks a little rough with a ton of grease...
