I have a 1971 Honda CB450 that I'd like to see go to a good home. It's a barn rescue, no papers, old CA plate. It's a stocker and all there but needs someone...
I'm about 5 hours south of Lynwood, given that I miss rush hour in Salem, Portland, and North.... I'll drop them an email and see if they have what I need. We...
CJ... I've had good luck getting used sidecovers and such for Hon. Ascots and Yam. Vision from Bent Bike, as Pat suggested. Keep in mind that the Auburn store...

I guess Chrome Spoke in Tacoma is no more. There was a place in Yakima I stopped at over 10 years ago. Rainier Motorsports in Renton deals with a lot of older...
Any recommendations for a good thumper mechanic in the Seattle/Tacoma area? Need to get my FT500 fettled on, and I am a ham fisted mechanic at best. thanks ...
TransAlp Shoes...I did, at least, buy a new battery for the T-A. If I wear down another 5 microns of tread, I'll just start telling folks that I was told these...

The Olympic Peninsula Ride has been an annual event for a few friends and myself. For 2004, the ride will be held Saturday and Sunday, 2-3 October. We will...

I was siphoning some fuel for a friend while on a ride and the gas cap for my handmade big tank got lost. A replacement would be from a mid seventies Honda...
Sorry Herb... I went downtairs to look at the early / mid 70's Honda Elsinore tank down there - but it, too, is now capless. It's probably the same as you're...

I opened it, just a grey page with scrolls of letters and numbers. This could be because I use webtv and that type of format is un-readable with my unit ? So...
May have a chance to do the Asotin twisties the weekend of the 23 and am unable to find Rattlesnake grade and and Buford grade on the maps I have. How far...
Max...... I'd guess about 20-25 miles out of Asotin. Just head south on 129 out of Asotin (which becomes 3 in Oregon). Do watch for gravel on the inside of the...

So, a friend of mine and I are considering KLR's for some off road touring work and general communting. What do you guys think? Know of any good deals? -- Nic...
Nic, A KLR 650 is a very good choice for what you have described. The Suzuki DR650 is also a good choice (better than a KLR according to Don Beck). In both...
Nic - I second Mike's comments. I own a '00 KLR and it's the best all round bike for me, its never let me down; 9,000mi exploring LOTS of dirt roads all over...
