Tom N put together a small weekend trip in the catskill mountains of NY. Camped fri and sat. Started out Friday at Dimmick Inn in Milford PA. Cool 2nd floor drinking area. I drank too much whiskey Friday night and it ruined the first half of my Saturday ugh. We saw some cool cars at […]
I don’t think this is a topic anyone has ever talked about on this site. Everything below is super self-explanatory, so, scan as necessary… I always go for the cheapest auto insurance. I have Progressive mc insurance. The maximum number of motorcycles you can have per policy is 4. For the bare minimum coverage of […]
Back story: I’ve always liked fast cars. Shit, I worked 2 jobs all summer when I was 18 so I could afford to put an Acura integra motor into a Honda crx. I was a janitor during the day, ha, and worked at a gas station at night. Crx was fast as shit and I […]
We know… Kawasaki’s are the fast bikes of the 70s / 80s. Eddie Lawson was the factory Kaw racer of the very early 80s. – Kaw big 4-cyls started out with the z1 (73-75) – z1 became a kz900 (76-77) – kz900 became a kz1000 (77-83?) In early 80s, kawasaki took the J motor kz1000 […]
Our good friend Greg Buzby grew up in south NJ on a farm. As a kid him and his older brother had dirt bikes. They made a MX track and enduro trails through the woods on their farm. Growing up on a farm must have been wild. So much open land to rip around on. […]
Who wants to go to bald eagle state park and ride dirt bike again? Nov 12th or 19th weekend? Which is better? Comment and let me know if you’re into it? Last year was pretty awesome. http://www.chinonthetank.com//11/dirt-bike-weekend-bald-eagle-state-forest/
It’s coming up in 4 weeks. If you remember a post I made last year, this nesco event was pretty awesome. You get to ride your dirt bike on the race track and it was pretty loose with pretty much no rules. http://www.chinonthetank.com/2015/10/nesco-vintage-dirt-bike-track/ I’m definitely going again this year. A month from now. Who’s coming […]
Performance camshafts can add different characteristics of power to your engine. Cams with high lift can add mid range punch, while cams with longer duration can add high rpm top end power. Cams with both can really add power but you need to make sure the head can flow properly. It really depends on what […]
If you have a cb650 (or any jap 4cyl) and you’re looking to splurge close to an extra $1000… This post is for you. 79-80 cb650 actually have pretty good stock-oem carbs IMO: 29mm bore, mechanical slide and accelerator pump. However, if yours are getting shitty and want a nice upgrade, brand new keihin crs29 […]
There are certain things you can do yourself and there are certain things you should leave to the experts with the real tools. I’ve lapped valves before. It’s cool to play around with doing that for fun, but really… let the experts make sure your head is legit. Mar automotive is an engine machine shop […]
In case you don’t know… These things were pretty fast. Saw this shit on IG and was dying. I’ll bet that power band hits like a Mac truck.
It was a great weekend for riding and camping. A bunch of us met up at C&S Saturday afternoon and headed North out of the city. We stopped for dinner at Dilly’s Corner and then setup camp about 20 miles north of New Hope in High Rocks State Park. River Road had a couple detours […]
I lost $50. Adam was looking through the website at stuff from back in 2010. He found the below picture and said “wow, yanns bike was really clean”. I said no fucking way, it’s some random persons bike that came out for a Thursday ride. Long story short, I was wrong and yes it was […]
Other Yann is well dressed – he rides a mint condition cb750 automatic – he lives in an expensive loft in center city that has heat and AC – he is a lawyer making 6 figures – he does quite well with the ladies
As long as it’s over 50 degrees, the Thursday rides are on. So come out. Don’t be lame like your dad. I don’t care if you’re on a Harley, Honda, triumph, Suzuki, scooter, dirt bike… Well, maybe not a scooter… See you on Thursdays. BP at 25th and poplar at 8pm ish. Beers after the […]

6 of us decided to ignore the questionable forecast and go dirt biking in Reading. Trails were awesome. Rain held out until we were tired of riding so it all worked out. First time back there since last fall. Definitely a little rusty. Everyone went down at least once. Good times. @chinonthetank getting some berm […]
Matt ferrino, who is one of our buddies got us into the show for free which was cool. Tons of cool vintage bikes. Bummer if you missed it or did too many drugs the night before to make it. Hit the Pottstown diner on the way home. Those yokes up there really favor their horseradish… […]
