man I sure hope so. I've been looking for an excuse to build a Cameron replica. Buddy just picked up a 144ktm. Sure would be nice to stuff that in a rmz chassis.

Very clever idea. I like this kind of stuff.

Just drove to Huntington yesterday and picked up a KTM 144. Not a bad drive at all from akron. Beautiful country down there too.

Some 4 strokes like a twist or two of the throttle. Some don't. And it usually works best to kick slow to TDC then back up and a nice firm fluid kick.

Jim, I have a box of hones up here in akron. Ball and 3 finger flat stone type. Your welcome to come up and we can run it thru for ya. 330-608-9113.

Just watched an episode of Invention USA. Saw a local moto guy on there. Tim Lutes. Has a cool idea. The grill and chill. A small trailer set up for barbecuing and whatnot. Pretty cool to see a local guy on tv.

Some of the vets here should remember terra flex tires. I bought a bike a while back that one on the rear. A 5.5 width if I do remember. And decades old. It laughed at my tire irons. I think I used everything but a chainsaw to get it off the rim.

Crystal coast was fun. Camped there with hook ups for a week 2 years ago. Wanted to go back...but they sold the land for stupid money to a developer. The owner even sounded bumbed about it when I called.

Stand up stands are great. I used to hate changing tires too. Wasn't an issue at the dealer I worked at as we had a machine. But after watching the Pirelli guys swap out Willies tires a thousand times at the nationals I started paying attention. Proper procedure and tools and its cake. Sure...

I personally usually do my own stuff. Several years working with Coppersmith helped mr learn how to do suspension. Thom and Andre will do their best for you. But on a side note....the last bike I bought came with Factory Connection kit suspension. Amazing stuff. I have had them make me springs...

I've used mean green from dollar store for years. Dad always had simple green in the machine shop but I can't stand the smell of it. Mean green works great on bikes. But ya gotta watch clear coated rims on cars. I ruined a set of Tahoe wheels with it. Turned the clear coat a milky white. Oops...

while working at a shop last year we built a full custom Buell bobber bike on a harbor freight lift. Did everything on it from chopping the frame and rewelding it to putting the big ole v-twin in and out a dozen times. Held up just fine. It too was bought just cuz it was cheap and the other two...

Awesome pic of the dog. I wish my black lab would do that for me all she does is sit in the way and look cool. Now as far the bikes go....the 125 got loaded up into the van along with an rmz450 so they can be taken to the new shop. Cleaning out the home shop has been interesting. Amazing the...

I have used straight 10w40 for years in my own stuff. Now for customers I use Honda GN4 10w40. I know the regular "car" oil works fine though. Sure it breaks down faster and isn't motorcycle specific.... But it works. If you browse thumpertalk you can read miles worth of posts on this subject...

No many times in life where there's a chance to moto on my birthday. Man I wish I could get out.

Good ride man. I really like the word from what I am assuming is your dad on the trip back to the pits. Very cool to see and hear. Can't wait for my lil ones to throw a leg over a bike.

Opened the garage...removed beverages from the fridge....closed the door. Lol. Mine just sit now a days. I roll them from corner to corner from time to time. But I will be out figuring out three dead Hondas later tonight though for customers.

I vote for a baby sitter to watch the lil ones so we can ride.

I've been spinning wrenches out of my house for about 15 years. Just recently aquired a building in uniontown about 4 miles from kames. Will be putting a moto shop in there. Handle every aspect of bike maintenance and repair. Mods to motors, and suspension and will offer full machining (off site...

Thanks. I'm gonna watch it now while I'm watching this lathe.
