Yeah, I know this is a long shot, but if anybody has a BMW /6 right hand switch set laying around I need a part. There's a rocker switch that controls the turn signals and mine is broken. It still works, but I'd like to get hands on the part to replace that rocker to keep moisture out and to...

I've been keeping eyes and ears open for a 3/4 ton truck for quite a while. I really like the Tundra and it's been a great truck and it JUST handles the 5th wheel safely but I wouldn't be comfortable dragging it up or down much of a grade loaded down like that. Being right at my weight max...

I thought I'd throw this out there and see if anybody wants to comment, suggest, etc. A friend of mine had aquired (legally) a 2004 Honda CBR600RR as well as several boxes of parts and accesspries. After a review and some discussion I'm going to help him sort, advertise, and sell/dispose of...

I came across this completely by chance and thought y'all might get a kick out of it.

I need to find a solo seat for a BMW airhead. Mine is a /6, I believe one from a /5 LWB will work as well. Long shot, but I've done fairly well buying and selling w/ DTT members so I thought I'd give this a try. Not looking for perfection, I can recover one that's a bit road-weary. Like this...

Ok, so this may be old news, but for as long as I can remember there has been a serious problem that mechanics have had to deal with; the issue of the missing 10mm socket. Now I know this may be old news, if so excuse this old guy and I'll go back into my corner. It seems that the good people...

Most sincere condolences to our UK and Commonwealth members. QEII was a credit to your national heritage and her life and service will be a large chapter in the history of our world.

Several months ago I was talking w/ a friend who told me he had an old airhead that has been sitting for a long time and his wife had been bugging him to get it out of the garage. He and his wife are semi-retired and travel back and forth between TX and Ohio on a pretty regular basis as he...

I've been riding long enough that I remember how it all works, but maybe some out there need a reminder:

Years go I was regularly attending Honda Sport Touring Association (now the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association) events around the country and especially enjoyed demo rides at the larger events. Honda, BMW, and other manufacturers brought in their trailers full of bikes and allowed everyone to...

...thought the folks here would probably get a charge out of it,

This link was posted on the BMW MOA forum. Thought I'd share it here, others might get as much out of it as I did. https://www.cnet.com/features/gps-rules-everything-and-its-getting-a-big-upgrade/?ftag=CAD090e536&bhid=25023520845180298478449184484532&mid=13176874&cid=535004125

I knew my next project would come along sooner or later. Since I'll be spending the winter in Ohio rather than going south this one has come along at an opportune time. An older gent near here got this a few years ago and I helped him find a new, oversize piston and get the cylinder bored for...

If you have a BMW R50, R50/2, R50S, R50US, R60, R60/2, R60US, R69, R69S, or R69US (or if you have a friend or relative who does)

I've got a chance to pick up a '77 750 Hondamatic, 30k miles, decent condition, farkled w/ sissy bar & rack, very decent looking, runs but will need carb rebuild. Price probably between $500 and $800. Know these aren't the most desirable for what most of us here on DTT do, but I'm not sure...

Combine perfect weather, the surprisingly good riding roads in the Mohican area of North Central Ohio, and a couple of Beemers. (Sing "Oil Head and AIr Head..." to the tume of "Ebony and Ivory." if you want.). We put on around 150 or more miles and had a nice afternoon.

Quick question: The Mrs has had a fascination w/ mopeds and has come across a chance to buy a couple for $200 each. They have been dry stored indoors for years but will for sure need carbs rebuilt as a minimum. I can and will get a brand and model by looking in a window but preliminarily, is...

Question for the owners of 378 modified 360s: Is there a better spark plug than the stock spec to use in a 378?

I came across pictures of some of my old bikes and it occurred to me that maybe a thread for "pictures of bikes you've owned in the past" might be appropriate. Here area few of mine: Early on it was evident that I like low handlebars: 1982 Suzuki GS550M Katana. 1985 Kawasaki GPz750...
