TIL not only is Honda bringing the Monkey Bike to the US, but also an updated Super Cub.

A local race shop put out a feeler Tuesday on facebook looking for a stock 1.6 Miata exhaust manifold. Apparently, they are in the process of converting an old track Miata into a spec car and couldn’t find a stock manifold from their normal sources on short notice (race is tomorrow, I believe). A friend tagged me in…

I realized over the weekend that I havent’t made a $200 miata update in almost a year. And after seeing how nice AestheticsInMotion’s car is in person at the oppo meet, I decided to finally post an update on my pile.

Did some more work on the RS last night. I’m pretty sure the idle issue is fuel, but just to check all the boxes I went in and confirmed that everything else on the engine is operating correctly. Compression is at 110psi, which seemed low to me, but according to the forums is exactly where this motor should be. I also…

I started troubleshooting the idle issue the bike has been having. Basically, you have to keep the idle above 3000rpm otherwise it’ll stall out (for reference, correct idle setting is 1100rpm). Pretty obvious given that the bike sat for about a decade, that the problem is somewhere in the fuel system. Figured I’d…

Yet another motorcycle appears to have come to my house and adopted me as it’s owner. And this one is fancy! And Italian! And rare!

Around this time last year one of my coworkers approached me and asked if I’d be interested in starting up a Lemons team. Within a few weeks we’d rounded up about three more and set about trying to find a car. We all had different requirements, some wanted reliability, easy to find spares, robust aftermarket support.…

This place had freaking Groms hanging from the ceiling.

Super excited, been wanting to pick one up for a while, and this particular one has always been my favorite.

Buddy who just picked up that Z50 brought it over to do some troubleshooting. I had no idea they were so tiny

I am supremely jealous. It’s in the back of a mighty max for those that don’t know, it’s not exactly a large truck.

Found a group of obvious car enthusiasts when I went out for food, naturally I took the first open spot I could find.

I’ve been toying with the idea of picking up a beater truck as a replacement for the BMW. Owning 3 cars when my primary mode of transportation is a motorcycle feels a little silly and the BMW doesn’t get driven all that much. I need something with a little more carrying capacity (for those that do not know, the E39…

I spent last night working on my new garage sale Honda Aero. I was able to get it to run, but the starter, headlight, and dash lights were not working. I solved the starter issue pretty easily, dirty button plus improperly pinned connector on the wiring harness.

But yeah, I couldn’t pass this up. I lasted about 3 months since the sale of my last Aero. It’s a little more expensive than my last one was, but it’s a better year with more performance parts available.

Ever have one of those days where you wake up and decide to do something you know is stupid? I had one of those days on Saturday when I called a few of my riding buddies with “Hey, I’ve got nothing going on. Let’s take the 50cc bikes to the coast” After assuring them multiple times that I was serious, we met up, set…

So after my post last week, I was jonesing for a Street Triple really bad. I couldn’t get over how it felt like a perfect SV, only with power and refinement. I went out and bought this low mileage (2100 miles !?!) 2014 Street Triple R on Sunday.

Picked up the yet to be named replacement for deathtrap (my SV650). Bigger write-up tomorrow, I just thought this photo was entertaining

I’ve had my SV for a long time now, and it’s always been my favorite street bike. I’ve been on a ton of demo rides, but every time I got back on the SV, I still felt satisfied. All the other bikes I’d been cross shopping were either too heavy, or too powerful (for reasonable road use), too uncomfortable, or too…
