I'm looking for a drum brake equipped CB/CL front wheel. Preferably in good shape, some minor pitting is OK. Let me know what you want for one!

On the way home from work today, I stopped at a convenience store that I frequent. I was only inside for 4 minutes at the most, and when I came out my helmet was gone!!! I didn't use the helmet lock, as I was just running in, but I sat it on my mirror. There was a police officer inside, so I...

I believe it is a '77 KZ1000. I know it may not look like much now, but it is all there, and it ran 3 years ago when we took it to my buddy's house. 3 tanks, 3 tail sections, 2 seats, and many "new" smaller items (turn signals, etc.). I am already talking to someone about a full Kerker system...

Well, I haven't posted here in quite a while, and wasn't going to until I actually started the tear-down. We just moved into a new house, so I had a huge list of "honey-dos" before I could start wrenching again. I'm finally gonna make my 450 look like I had originally intended when I brought the...

I haven't posted here for quite a while. My projects are on hold while I prep my house for sale, and pack everything we own into a great big Pod box in the driveway. Not only are we moving, but Wednesday my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl!!!!! Thank you for allowing me to share her!!!

My wife and family keep asking me what I want for Christmas. Problem is, all I can come up with are REALLY expensive items. What is on your Christmas lists?

Wichita DTTers....A friend and I are going to ride over to the Go Away Garage for first Friday. Anybody else going?

I've been told that it's not a matter of if you go down, but when you go down. Everyone lays their bike down at least once. Well, mine happened this morning on the way to work. Only a block from my house, I must have hit some sand, or something slick on the road. I turned a corner, at low speed...

I only know of 4 of us now in Wichita. Let's try to get together again some time in the near future......any ideas? Maybe at the Garage again?

Took my 750 for her first real ride today (legally). Got her first full tank of gas since who knows when. Friday I went through the exhausting process of title, inspection, and tag. She now wears a shiny red sticker on the frame that reads "Salvage Rebuilt". I figured that it would be a...

Here are a couple pics of the bike I'm starting on now. A 1966 Sprint 250. This weekend I plan on finding a 6 volt batery, and making sure it will turn over before I start tearing it apart. The stock seat mounts on top of the rear fender, and the tank and seat I am using are quite a bit longer...

I have a question that I hope isn't too ridiculous. I'm preparing to start on a Harley Sprint project. Yep, 250 ccs of Italian/American tuff (I will start a build thread). The bike has a stock 6v system. I have a brand new 6v headlight for it, and will pick up a new battery this weekend. My...

This weekend I spent at the parents house in Great Bend, and met another member of the DTT group. Kawasakifreak77 (Ray) happened to be one of my dads friends. He has a pretty clean KZ650 that sounds really good. After hearing his plans for the bike, and spending a little time getting to know...

Satrting with how it ended, and beginning with how it started!

Hello all, It's been a while since I've posted anything. Thought I'd let you all know about my crazy summer. The company I work for put the entire factory on a mandatory 4 week furlough. The first week I spent on a 1600 mile ride from here in Kansas through the western Rockies in Colorado, down...

OK, it breaks my heart to do this, but with the current economical crisis in my house, I probably need to sell my 450. Nothing special here, seat made from stock pan and XS tank. clubman bars, pod filters. That's about it. Runs like a champ and usually starts first of second kick. Problems? Not...

Last Monday I took my '02 Suzuki Bandit on a wonderful 1600 mile ride through the western slope of the Rockies in Colorado, and down through northern New Mexico. 5 days worth of riding and it was wonderful. Now I am stuck in bed after having my gall bladder removed. The surgeon is concerned...

I got home from work yesterday and started to raise my forks through the triple clamps. I have an XS650 front end on my Honda 750 and the forks are about 2 inches longer on the Yamaha. Once I got to the clip ons, I noticed that the mount that goes on the fork leg was cracked! I guess I over...

Was given a 1966 Sprint....I love freebies. It has compression, and seems to be relatively complete. I'm having troubles figuring out how to post pics with my Mac. I'll switch computers and get some pics posted.

Loaded my 750 on the trailer and hauled it two hours away to get the carbs synched and to make sure everything is adjusted right. Now there is an empty spot in the garage! Can't wait to get it back and start putting some miles on!
