That is pretty Heavy Steve! My brother still battles with a demon inside him after quite innocently killing a drunk walking across the street one night in the dark. He was just coming home from work, not speeding or anything of the sort. The family of the deceased even called him to say that they understood his predicament & held no ill feelings toward him @ all. He only talked to me about it once......& now it just seems to be a memory that's faded over the years. Time to get back on that bike....but I'm sure you'll remain quite alert after such an incident. Rubber Side Down mate.

That sounds like a good recipe! You'll definitely get alot more outta that YZ jug. ...& I do think Boyesen makes reeds for that beast.....@ least they used to. If you're gonna change that front end....Why not work from the triple clamps down......maybe also from a YZ?.....then you'd only have to match up bearings to fit the clamps to the steering head. I've got a similar mod in the works for my XT.

No problem GOD9....glad I could help. This is the site where I found that view......MotoGrid It's been quite useful to me when I needed Ignition parts for my XT. They're cheaper than a dealer but still are parts directly from Yamaha. After comparing prices to my local dealer, I found that I saved @ least a couple hundred $$ on my Ignition parts alone. I'm now thinking of replacing my fuel petcock through them, which'll only run me $35....compared to an easy $50 from the dealer. The exploded views like you'd find on a microfiche, come in real handy......for reference if anything. Best of Luck with your Carb issue.

to the forum Shoggoth Nice collection of 2-Wheelers you've got there Myself, I've always thought the DT400 would make a great Street-Tracker. ... As they are too heavy for off-road use, but make good power for the street.... & besides.....Ridin' 2-strokers on the street is a kick in the butt!

Not sure of the year or particular model of TTR you have.....but does this help?

Vette Sting Rays are my other favorite Especially like the '67 model..... 427ci.....7.2ltr (I think) BigBlock....with Tri-Power induction (3x2barrel carbs).....435HP right outta the box! You could buy this car brand new in '67 for less than $7k! Regarding the Willys......always have liked those as well......My Grandpa had a '30's vintage coupe.... & my Brother is restoring a '55 Willys 4x4 pick-up.

Now this is my all-time favorite Muscle Machine ...... '69 Camaro Z28 with an RS package (Hideaway Headlights, etc.)...... High Performance 5.0ltr short-stroke Small block V8.....with Dual Quads, 2x4 Cross-Ram Alum. intake manifold.....all to be able to pump out 500HP @ nearly 10,000rpm ...... This is the car that won the Trans Am racing series in '68 & '69.......before Ford had their turn with the Boss 302 Mustang Nothin' quite like the exhaust note of a V8 of this caliber, on the boil!

Very Clean FZ! I like the colours!

Fast Cars are the Sh*t! Especially ones like this...... Super Rare '69 Yenko Camaro....with a 427 big block that pumps out 450HP.... These motors had enough torque to make a 3,000+lb. car pull 2nd gear wheelies! Amazing what these cars bid @ on Ebay! ...... High$$$ Collector Machine

I wonder if he had steel toed boots on? Probably had to change his shorts after that off!

1 Helluva Tip!

Reminds me of a pic I have in my garage of a Brit lady who used to race 125's & won the class championship here in the AMA .... On the back of her leathers it reads: "Who Needs Balls"

I recall riding a mates CR once.....it had a thrashed rear mudguard.....threw mud clear out in front of ya!

Kinda like his 1st year on the 500's.......even though he did pretty well overall.....he did fall off a few times

Don't let the looks fool ya!......Those tractor type seats are quite comfy....even without padding! My Dad has 1 @ his desk where the PC is!

Or he ends up on the nose of that Airliner again!

A hardcore Ford freak friend of mine told me that stood for First On Race Day But I still prefer.... Found Off Road Dead F*cked Over Rebuilt Dodge Of course that same friend had to remind me of what Pontiac stood for, as I had a FireBird @ the time.... Poor Old Nigger Thinks It's A Cadillac

to the Forum YamBoy Nice Ride you've got there! A good friend of mine used to have one.....let me have a go on it a few times......I've been wanting one ever since. Myself, I like how service friendly they are.

to the forum Cornishgolfer I reside @ the opposite end of the states from Tampa bay......& I have seen a Futura only once. Nice Bike indeed. The ST strikes me as being more on the Touring side of things.......but the FJR seems to be a real nice compramise between Sport & Touring .....Plenty of grunt for pillion work, but all day comfy with adaquate storage as well. I guess it just depends on where your Biking needs fall into place @.

to the forum Ascaudio BigBore CR's do have a rep don't they? .....Bonafied 2-Wheel Trench-Digger

Ya Lucky Bugger Booze!

...Stay away from 4-Wheels these days! When an opportunity to experience speed presents itself to Valentino Rossi, the Italian isn´t one to waste it. Last Friday, after returning from Yamaha´s Qatar Test, he spent the day driving a Maserati MC12, a car which last season took part in the Italian Touring Car Championship. At the request of Rossi, there is no footage from the session at Misano. However it is evident that the MotoGP star once again showed his adaptability, having previously turned his hand to WRC and Formula 1. Back on two wheels this week, Rossi will continue with the preseason alongside the rest of the MotoGP teams in Malaysia. Money on it.....that after this season he moves into the 4-Wheel realm of racing somewhere.
