My Boss (not the wife, but the 1 who sign's my paycheck) told me I had an extra 8 hours of work to get down over the weekend.......So I went to work @ 4am Saturday so I could finish by noon & have the rest of my weekend Free'd up. Was out the door @ 6am on Sunday for a ride along the Clackamas river again..... Never get tired of this area..... Got found memories of railin' on my RD up here ...... This is what you see just over that guardrail ...... My timing seemed to be impeccable......as there was NO traffic to speak of!....Even though the campgrounds were all full!......Most peeps musta been sleeping off their overhangs…

i am trying to find out how to repair my fork seals. they seem to be leaking. how can i reseal and repair my forks? i am also wondering if it would be worth it to get forks from a newer bike so i could have disc brakes. is that possible? what would be best in the end? also, where is the best place to find used parts for this bike? it is a 1982 yamaha xt 550. thanks to all for help and suggestions.

Hello, this is my first post here so hi! I just bought a V Star 1100 this weekend. My first bike. Congrats to me! Anyway, a tip to the wise. Don't buy a bike at the begining of a long holiday weekend. You have no plates and you will be tormented because you can't legally get out on the road! Believe me, it was a little rough on me mentally! Well, I drove from Cleveland to Cincinnati Ohio with a plate on Saturday. I had my dad covering my tail as we blew by about 6 cops. Then bit my lip on Sunday and just drove it a couple of miles but I had to take it out today since it was nice and we went to a family cookout. So there I was breaking the law. Naug…

I managed to leave the house today without reading the weather report, and got stuck in a thunder storm. I tried to wait it out for a bit, but had other things to do. my jacket kept me relatively dry, but im kind of interested to see whats out there for weatherproof riding gear. so, what do you guys use? if money wasnt an issue, what would you use, and if you were on a budget, what would you get? thanks in advance! oh, and i realize that the poll is pretty basic, but i wanted to get an idea of how many people ride year-round or mostly year round.

I've got about 5,000 miles on my 1300, and once the engine gets nice and hot, I hear what to me seems like excessive lifter noise. I just had oil changed, with Amsoil synthetic, 10/40, and noise remains. Does this seem to be typical with this bike's engine? Is anyone else having this issue?

I set up an account on Youtube to feature my friends and I doing racing, stunting, and whatever with motorsports. So I figured that others have done this too. I have a few vids of my friend on a Yamaha R1 doing tank wheelies and burnouts. I'm the yellow bike racing a Nissan 350z. We should have some more videos up soon. My Youtube Account If you have youtube feel free to add me as a friend. I'm looking for more motorcycle videos.
