Mine was tuned, piped and topless. It was quick but I wanted the trask snail kit but I sold it before that.

I just ordered a new pair of tires for my motorcycle tonight. That's always a really good feeling.

I mount and balance my own using a NoMar changer. Learned how to do it after finding a paid-for service did a half-@$$ job at balancing. Not needing to make a profit, I can take my time and get it spot on. I also do tires for friends and coworkers.

The m/c tires I purchased are Continental Conti Motions. Continental has a program going on. If you buy their tires, and you have a flat on the road, you can call a toll-free number and they will dispatch a tow truck to you and haul you and your bike to any destination within 150 miles.

No matter if you have 1 or 2 of their tires on your bike. If one of theirs goes flat, you are covered by their program for THREE YEARS!

My WR is more like a street legal dirtbike than anything. I love it!

Love the old Hondas, and the pup! I have 2 old 1984 Honda Big Red three wheelers, still use them almost every day around the 2 1/2 acres to haul stuff around, they're like owning a mule, and just as mean if you forget how easy they tip over! They are a blast out here with all the trails and dirt backroads around our spread!

I bought a new Honda Goldwing 47 years ago, the first year they made them. (1975)

I took two major trips on it, one was 12,300 miles and the other was 15,000 miles, both starting out in Alaska.

MY "trials" bike was a Kawasaki 250, I registered it street legal, had it set up for going hunting and it was a lot of fun to own.

I still have that Goldwing.

Danny Chandler ( Magoo ) is from my hometown, ever heard of him? He was born and raised 150 yards up the street, Learning to ride around the hydraulic pits that surround our town. He was an amazing rider, and before he got picked up by a factory team, his dad did all of his wrenching for him. He's buried in our cemetery, right behind his childhood home, along with most of his family. RIP, Magoo!

Yep, guy was a talent for sure. He was also proof of how dangerous the sport can be.

I'm just south of you a little ways...the Hangtown race, long before it went to Prairie city, was only a 20 minute drive from where I currently live. That was way before my time, but know some older riders who actually raced there.

He had a good run back in the day, used to see him zipping around town on his bike, the kid knew no fear, and it finally caught up to him. His accident happened after the race was over, I believe.

I remember the name. Not familiar with how he died. What's up with the rest of his family part?

Mom, dad, a sister, and a nephew are all buried there. Mom and dad, natural causes, sister, suicide, nephew was killed running from police on a dirt bike, ran into a flat bed trailer in the dark. His only surviving sister still lives in the childhood home .

@grizz55chev how about this for an old Honda? 65?

Came with some property we bought. There's a Rokon too-not the front wheel assist model.
Gave my friend a BSA that was in same shed for restoration, not sure of the model.
