Saturday was the best day I’ve had so far in 2018. Woke up early, checked out Adams KZ head he picked up from machine shop. Rode the IT to the coffee shop Andrew Brooks used to work at. Hung for a while. Met at LC to leave for camping. Great to hang and people watch. […]
I always look forward to the Norton Meet. It’s the start of the season. Washington Crossing, just east of New Hope PA, Sunday – April 15th at 10am. Below black/white pictures are from 2010. Rain backup plan: If its legit planned to start raining Sat night or Sunday before noon, this is the new plan […]
Prices were all over the place. Total junk barely rolling with half the engine missing, selling for $2000. Nuts. Then there is the super clean 2nd year with the bassani exhaust, the dude said he sold for $3500, but I think he lied to me, he was a dick. Then the dude I bought a […]
Good weather. Good Ride.
Switched it up a little last night. All grabbed a beer, blasted the highway to the airport loop and made a pitstop on the Delaware River. Good times. #icecoldbeer #cb550 A photo posted by Cast & Salvage (@castandsalvage) on Oct 7, 2016 at 4:41am PDT Hangin with the boys. #chinonthetank #motolife #professionalpassenger A photo posted […]
Next Tuesday! Jessie Jay of True Hand Society will be hand lettering at Cast & Salvage. A donation of $20 will get you whatever you want painted on your old dirt bike or motorcycle. We’ll probably only have time for 5-6 people so if you want to reserve a slot call it out in the […]
I unfortunately had not heard of this race until the week or so before it. I think we should plan on this for next year. There is about 15 of us on old dirt bikes now and this is only 3 hours from Philly. What do you guys think? Enter the Open Amateur or Open […]
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 […]
Too much different plans going on for this. This is what I’m doing if anyone wants to join… Ed and I are going to be camping at Deer Wood Campground in the Tohickon Valley Park. We’ve camped here before and it’s nice low key spot and I don’t expect it to be busy. It’s $20 […]
Sometimes leaving the bar you start your bike in gear, drop it on the curb, and have to fix it with Duct tape. Don’t judge.
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 […]
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… […]
Man, you guys fucked up. I know it was slightly a late notice thing, but real big bummer you missed this. It was amazing. Here is the run down: Nesco vintage race track is basically some private MX track some old dude made in south east NJ. He replicated tracks from the 70s. It’s not […]
I remember when Iron & Air first launched a few years ago. They started from scratch and have become a well known name in the vintage motorcycle world for their original content and high quality photos. So, I was really excited when I found out that they were going to run a post about our […]
Such a great time! Bummer if you missed it. Everyone ripped around on dirt bikes all weekend. It’s cool to see people of all ages, guys and girls, riding 50cc z50’s to rare Penton dirtbikes. You basically need a pit bike to get around the place. Some weekend highlights: – There’s basically no rules. – […]
Found this ad in an old motorcycle magazine and reminded me that the Mid-Ohio Vintage Days are coming up soon so mark your calendars. We should have a decent crew coming out from Philly this year. July 10th-12th Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course 7721 Steam Corners Road Lexington, OH 44904 Google Map Directions from Philly
This show pretty much marks the start of the motorcycle season here in Philly. If you have never gone it’s worth checking out. The show always starts on time and ends on time so don’t get there too late. Weather looks great for this Sunday so we’ll see you there. Washingtons Crossing 10am to 1pm, […]
So in order to keep a record (both written and photographic) of the our shared motorcycling experience, I have started a blog called Bike-Specific. It is still in its infancy, but the goal is to focus more on the experience of motorcycling whether it be going to a show, taking a road trip or building/working […]
To keep it interesting, Ed and I decided to stash some trashbag beers in the Schuykill River before the ride. After about 3/4’s the way through the ride we made a pit stop to hangout on the river bank and all pound a beer. Overall, it was fun and I challenge anyone else to come […]
