    Thailand Outlaw Drag Bike Racing

    I recently came across some videos of 150cc two stroke drag bike racing from Thailand that were entertaining. Some of these bikes can do the quarter mile in around 10 seconds. The riders wear minimal safety gear, in fact one racer was wearing a bicycle helmet to save weight. Part way down the...

    I hate getting old!!!

    I'm just thankful that my doctors have been able to fix everything that is breaking down with my body so far. Two knee replacements and a pacemaker later I'm still plugging along and continue riding. My kids say I'm becoming like the Borg from Star Trek The Next Generation. One of my doctors...

    My Bad

    The irony is that Harley couldn't get anyone to buy the XR1000 at the time. It didn't look enough like a typical Harley for your typical rider. Yet the performance for a Sportster when it came out was really good. Now the bike is becomng collectable. It's less then two months since the knee...

    Gucci V7 - Now Barbie Malibu House

    Here's the surfboard that goes with Todd's Barbie house. I need my knee to heal so I can get out of the house and not find stuff like this on the internet. I like that it has generous volume for people who might not be in the best of shape.

    My Bad

    I'll add my bike to the registry once my knee has healed a bit more and I can roll the bike out of the garage to take a good picture of it. I bought this one at two months after my first knee replacement to "treat" myself. The current recovery is going a lot better so I hope it won't be much...

    My Bad

    I tell people that this is the correct way to mount a V-twin.

    My Bad

    My name is Jim Weed I've been replying to older posts for a couple of weeks and now just saw the part about requiring one post in the Introduction to new members of the Forum. Better late then never. I've ridden a variety of motorcycles from the late 1970s until now. My first motorcycle was a...

    Roadside Oddities, and Your Guzzi of Course

    I need to go up to Weed and claim my birthright! The town was started by a person whose last name was Weed and was a logging town for some time. According to my late uncle, a branch of the Weed family went west from the western New York/eastern Ohio area and ended up here. I gather now a days...

    A new beginning…

    What a way to start your retirment. I took early retirment right before COVID which made that time very interesting being stuck at home. I had to get the first of two knee replacement surgeries part way through the shutdown. It kept on being postponed due to the numbers of COVID patients...

    Masochistic bikers and other two wheeled mental disorders.

    As a recovering Harley rider, I approve of your comment. I tell my old Harley buddies that I'm still riding a V twin, just that it's mounted differently.

    As the world unravels…

    I believe the bike is for the Asian market, so it makes sense to build them overseas. My question is why build in China and not India? Small displacement bikes are very popular there. The one scenario is bringing over the 350cc bikes for the Harley rider training program. So I'm not expecting...

    More Snow!!!!

    My wife was born in Rapid City, but moved away when she was 3 or 4. She does not have many memories of snow, but her older brothers have stories of some intense storms. They even mentioned that on the reservation, some to the Sioux were still living in some fairly simple structures at at that...

    My other ride

    I agree, there's nothing wrong with scooters. My first motorcycle was a Honda Trail 90. While not a scooter, it was a good introduction to riding on the street. And I couldn't help but upgrade the performance of it. I learned that the engine in it was the same one used on the origional Honda...

    The joys of Moto Guzzi…

    I too have a love hate relationshp with Harley's since the early 1980's. I started off with a 1981 AMF Sportster. Everyone enjoyed dumping on AMF during this time, but the bike I had ran fine for the time. I then bought a new 1985 FXST Softail. It had a 4 speed transmission, chain drive and...

    She rode a Guzzi

    Just for your information, Ann Margaret is still riding motocycles at the age of 81 according to a Vanity Fair article from April. One of her other riding partners was Steve McQueen.

    Amazing what humor and wisdom can do....

    After being a Harley guy since the early 1980's it was time for something different. In San Diego you can't go more than a mile without running into a bunch of Harley's that all look the same. So I went different with a Guzzi. Specifically a used 2016 Stone V7 II. I enjoy the puzzled looks...

    Head-scratcher - '21 HD Sportster S

    My first Harley Davidson was a used 1981 Sportster from the end of the AMF era. I had no problems with it and it was a good introduction to riding larger motorcycles. A few years later I bought a 1985 FXST new and rode it to the ground. I took a few years off due to nagging health issues...
