    A few thoughts about the DTT community

    I've had an interesting experience over the last few months that I thought I'd comment on. I've become more grateful for this Sleepy Hollow community of ours. Several months ago when the 5th wheel trailer left and we decided to sell the GMC 2500HD to get something smaller I sort of...

    Takasago 18" rim marked 18X2.15

    Takasago 18" rim, appears to be new. Marked 18X2.15. There are a few light scratches on it but from the looks of the holes I'm very sure it's never been laced nor has had a tire mounted. Make an offer. If you are the least bit interested in this and plan to be at Mid Ohio Vintage Days it'll...

    Suzuki SV650 Wheels - Front & Rear pair

    Suzuki SV650 Wheels - $1,294 (We're suppose to put a price down so I just made up something, seriously make me a fair and reasonable offer + shipping and it's yours.) I got the chance to buy some parts that needed a new, useful home. I'm pretty sure there are some SV650 projects in the works...

    Looking for a BMW /6 Right Hand handlebar switch set/parts

    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...

    '11 GMC Sierra 2500HD - Tow Mule & Travel Vehicle

    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...

    BMW Airhead Solo/Police Seat - WTB

    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...

    10mm socket issue... solved?

    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...

    1975 BMW R90/6 - Rocinante

    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...

    "Hanger Queen" Boxer

    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...

    Great article about GPS

    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

    Project: Triple Surprise

    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...

    '77 750 Hondamatic - value?

    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...

    Levi & Cory's Excellent Adventure

    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.

    Mopeds - Worth Messing With???

    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...
