You can read part 1 by dropping down a few posts.————————- So I was under way and headed towards Kentucky on the GS. It was a cool late fall night and the weather was good. I figured that by leaving at such an odd hour I would avoid traffic, but I wasn’t so lucking. Around… Continue reading My Adventure to KY on this Old Beat Up Suzuki GS550L Part 2

Here is a Suzuki prospector ad from back in the day.

The Suzuki TC125 is a really cool little bike. I bought this as a project to fix up but decided to sell it because I have too much going on in the garage right now. Suzuki made this bike in a number of different sizes and gave them all interesting names like “Prospector”. I am… Continue reading 1974 Suzuki TC125 Prospector

I’m DONE! Sort of. I took both the 3003xc and 250sx bikes down to the frame and swapped everything over from the 250sx onto the 300. I swapped the entire front end including Tag risers and fatbars, entire rear end including brake and shock, most of the levers and controls, the kickstart shaft and lever,… Continue reading Finished Updating the KTM 300EXC

Well, I’ve got the two 1994 KTM’s. It’s time to do something with them! I completely tore down the 250sx to the frame and then continued digging into the motor to get the kickstart shaft. Next I tore down the 300exc motor in a similar fashion to replace the shaft. It’s a fairly simple process… Continue reading Replacing Kickstart Shafts

These old Yamahas are built like a tank. They are very similar to Honda XR400’s in both size, durability, and longevity. As long as you keep them in good condition they will run forever and never let you down. A single cylinder air cooled bike is in my opinion the ultimate all around off road… Continue reading 1986 Yamaha TT350

I am growing tired of living in the North East. The snow just keeps falling in Boston. I can barely get a bike out of my driveway, let alone up into the presidential mountain range (as in this photo). I’ve always been a tough weather biker. I’ll ride in the cold and rain, but snow… Continue reading The Snow Just Keeps Falling!

I was able to find a 1994 KTM afterall! I bought this bike a few days ago from Cycles128, the local dealership. For an older dirtbike it is in surprisingly great shape. The previous owner definitely took good care of it. I however will be completely stripping it down. In fact, I already did! I’m… Continue reading 1994 KTM 250SX

This proved to be my most intense motorcycle adventure to date. 1,000 miles one way in 19 hours on a busted old bike that I hadn’t owned for even 1 day. It breaks down, I almost die. I get frozen and drenched and stall out at every toll booth. Great times! Here is part 1… Continue reading My Adventure to KY on this Old Beat Up Suzuki GS550L Part 1
