mx400bee Added a reply to 1974 Yamaha MX360
1/28/2012 4:49pm That bike makes plenty of power but stock suspension has it`s limits. Maybe new springs for the forks and modern shocks to match your weight/speed. Emulators seem to really help from what i`ve heard.

mx400bee Started a new thread Jimmy Button`s Amazing Bike Ride
1/27/2012 4:13pm Fox News in Central Florida is telling Jimmy`s bike ride story this morning after he arrived in Daytona yesterday and rode a victory lap around the race track. Pretty good coverage and exposure including an interview with Mr. Button himself. Way to go Jimmy. Unbelieveable heart and determination from that young man.

mx400bee Started a new thread Vintage Yamaha Cylinder Swap?
1/26/2012 12:34pm Would anyone know if there is an MX or YZ 250 cylinder that will fit on 72` DT2 Enduro cases? Bore and stroke are the same but I wasn`t sure if the newer model case design and bolt pattern were the same.

1/24/2012 1:34pm 21 yr. old Chris Oliver has a 13 million + chip lead for the final 8 out of 1,560 entries in the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure that pays 2.3 million to the winner.

mx400bee Started a new thread DT2/RT2 carb swap jetting help
1/22/2012 11:31pm I installed a 32mm carb (72` 360 enduro) on a 72` 250 enduro to see what the increase in power on top would be and was surprised at how much more it made over the stocker (28mm I think). Of coarse now the there`s not much down low so my question is does anyone remember if changing the pilot and/or...

mx400bee Added a reply to This could get very ugly very fast
1/4/2012 7:24pm Regardless of what had happened in the past. When Iranian Islamist captured 52 Americans from the Embassy and then drug the bodies of the 8 soldiers through the streets after Carter`s rescue mission failed, that was all I had to see. They`ve got it coming sooner or later.
mx400bee Added a reply to 2-stroke 250 Yamaha made 97 hp (300 rpm powerband!)
12/23/2011 4:54pm I was lucky enough to see and hear Oliver on his TZ`s at Daytona on several occasions. Nothing compared to the sound or speed of his bikes. My memory isn`t all that good these days but it seems his qualifying speeds often equaled front row speed of the Superbikes. The two strokes filled the track with fans from all over...

mx400bee Added a reply to Your Career Plan ? Did it Work?
12/20/2011 6:51am My plan fell apart when my son became disabled in 2001 at 9 yrs. old but, he`s beat some big odds and things have worked out better than expected. I have a Sugar Momma for a wife that`s allowed me to be his caregiver/Mr. Mom instead of being owner/operator of a plumbing/concrete construction co. The paycheck ain`t much but, his...
mx400bee Added a reply to Hearing Loss.. From My Thumper?
12/18/2011 6:28am I`ve got Tinnitus and it sucks ass. My hearing loss is from being on Construction site`s all my life and not using ear plugs. I use a FMF Q on my 450 and can`t tell much difference if any in the power. Plus, it keeps the neighbors from bitching and threatening me with noise fatigue lawsuits.

12/18/2011 5:36am Magoo is my favorite of all time. I even cherry picked a race with broken ribs to get a chance to win a trophy designed in Magoo`s honor after he passed away.

12/17/2011 4:42pm That`s probably the real reason for full face helmets. lol. I`ve been hit a couple times but not in the face. It damn sure will leave a mark.

12/13/2011 6:22pm My Grandmother got me a Schwinn Stingray that was blue w/ a rear slick and metalic blue banana seat sometime around 63` when they first came out. Learned to wheelie on that thing.
