Re: how hot is to hot?
It's 100 every day in summer, not a problem with any of my bikes. I've been out on I10 at 90+MPH out of Tucson on a 115 degree afternoon. A Gold Wing is NOT a China bike... :lol: ...but it was...

Troubles with Diamo
Well, so I feel like a bit of a hoe only coming in here to brag or complain, but I've got a problem. The other day I was pulling out on the road when all four of the sprocket bolts stripped and it...

For what I gave for it, screw Japan. All my bikes since 1967 save one Alstate Compact (Puch) and one BSA Lightning 650 have been Japanese. I've owned the best, the fastest. I've raced TZ250s at...

What are, "hills". :lol:

CB350s were okay, but I preferred my RD350 and 400 Yamahas, much more fun. They'd run rings around an old CB and were a lot simpler to maintain. I had expansion chambers and porting on the 350,...
