Probably for the better. Politics ruins everything . I had really hoped the common love of moto would allow for more in-depth conversions without the dumb assumptions and attacks that people make in the real world And to be able to really learn from each other . But I saw that not even the love of moto helps . And I know I'm not innocent of saying some dumb stuff myself. I've been avoiding political stuff everyplace except for here, so it will be healthy for me to totally ignore the BS for a while and focus more of trying...

Been attending races in the So Cal sun since the 1970’s. Part of the expierence is getting there when the gates open and staking a claim to provide some shade. I agree Ez Ups lining the fence is a bummer. Hangtown has many terraces that allow Ez Ups while still allowing direct at the fence watching. More of this setup...

Gcrites, Maybe you and my photo tell the correct story. The tank was fitted on a 1991 250. The depression for the coil seemed to be the location of the interference. Did the coil get relocated on the 1991 125? Do both 1991 and 1992 250’s have the coil in a different location from the 125’s?

Power valve. 3 times piston hit powervalve. Flapper broke off. Piston ring groove damaged. Motor was always operational. Broken piece bounced around in the pipe...
Now I know where all the great vintage bike builds went. After COVID and the passing of Newman, The Old School section was never the same. I blamed it on the youth. This is amazing work. I know the build is not there yet, but which methods / sources are used for fenders / number plated that will fit in...

I have a set of Duyba wheels with what I believe are Haan hubs on my 2020 KTM 300 XC-W. I had an issue with the wheel spacers right and left. The spacers in the wrong position would not allow the caliper to mount centered on the disc. Easy check.
