It looks like Yamaha is bringing back the trusty ol’ SR400 and it is kick start only. I’m liking the direction Yamaha is heading, but at $5990? Seems a little steep for a small displacement kick only bike that will get you run over on the highway. More details HERE
With this Monday’s impending snow vortex bringing another foot of snow, I figure I’d dig up these “remember the warm days” photos… Race of Gentlemen, in it’s second year, has already become a trophy weekend for our kind. The petrol-fueled celebration leaves vacant streets at the mercy of flathead-powered burnouts and slow-burn cruising. Shirtless dance-riots […]
We went back into the kenzo trails in the snow today. Way more sketchy than I thought. Basically you need studded tires.
I’m looking for more spots to ride dirt bikes around Philly. Comment and let me know if you know of anything else that is in the city limits or super close by in PA… not NJ. Also, comment if you know anything more about those spots I mention as I don’t know too much about […]
Adam and I went and ripped around on the dirt bikes yesterday. We checked out the mountain bike trails behind the hostel in Fairmount park. They go from there… Pretty much all the way to city line ave. It’s way too technical for dirt bikes. We had to lift our bikes over fallen trees. Then […]
Vintage motocross is badass. This abandon track is hidden in Philly and I’m pretty sure we could hold races there because that would be awesome.
I dont know about you, but I hate Winter. Sure we can work on our bikes, drink beer, and watch movies….but if I had my ‘druthers, I’d druther do it all outside on a motorcycle. So I find myself sitting inside watching the snow fall and watching motorcycle videos. Thought you Ladies might get a […]
Our buddy Andrew Watson just put out another video. He shot this one for Spiewak jackets. Their jackets look pretty awesome. Check out the vid, then their website here.
This is an interesting website I came across. called “Women’s Motorcycle Exhibition”. They highlight girls who are into riding motorcycles. It’s a cool little SquareSpace website. Check it out. Some nice photography.
I’ve always been obsessed with wankel rotary engines. Such a cool alternative to a piston engine. My best buddy kev’s dad had a 3rd gen 1994 rx7 twin turbo. Holy shit I still droll over that car. In high school, Kev used to steal it and take it out when his dad was out of […]
FBM dudes still living it up. I enjoyed watching this. Especially seeing Derek Girard getting back on a bike after 3 years. “Fire in the hole.” ha.
So… I’m really starting to rip into this jalopy. As I said earlier, the clutch slips like a mother fucker. It’s horrible. I really wanted to do Barnett springs and plates. I found the plates easily on eBay but I couldn’t find ct1 Barnett springs anywhere. On a whim I ordered dt175 springs since they […]
Recently I’ve start working with a good friend of mine, Mike Ski, over at his Tattoo studio, True Hand. We’re hoping to do a ton of interesting stuff outside the world of tattoos & design. So in the spirit of hitting the ground rolling we’re doing our first makers night tomorrow featuring handmade goods by Farmhaus & Institute […]
I’m slowly realizing I know jack shit about 2-stroke motors. I took my top end off. From what I can tell… Some dip shit before me put in a reed-valve piston into a piston-port engine. Let me back up a step if you know jack like me. Apparently in these old shitty jap 2-strokes, there […]
I know many of you that come out for the Thursday rides either ride bmx or skate, so now that the weekly rides are on hold till spring, a bunch of us will be heading to a skatepark instead. Tonight we’re heading to the Franklin Mills park for the 7-9 session. If you’re carpooling there’s […]
Don’t tell Ben and Andrew but there just might be a more practical alternative the the classic Barbour and Belstaff jackets we all know and love. The classic waxed cotton Barbour International or Belstaff Tourist Trophy do an OK job of keeping you warm and dry, but that is about it. Imagine a jacket that […]
I bought an Enduro. $380 The good: It runs… kinda Cosmetically… it’s pretty nice… but just rough enough. The wheels are straight… kinda The seat is original and really nice. Inside of the tank is perfect. Carb is clean. Motor has 90psi compression. Probably do the Wiseco piston kit anyway since it’s like $40. The […]
So… I saw Terminator 2 when I was 11 years old. When I saw the scenes with John Connor on the dirt bike ripping around town… holy shit, I wanted a dirt bike so god damn bad. I begged my parents to buy me a dirt bike. My mom was a librarian. I would often […]
I’m going to make a prediction… Summer 2014 is going to be all about old dirt bikes in the woods. So… maybe it’d be a good idea to pick up a dirt bike if you don’t already have one. Probably the older and shittier, the better. I had this video forwarded to me and I […]
I don’t know about you, but I have a pretty big problem with impulse buys. Ever since I was a little kid if I saw something I wanted… I had to have it immediately. I was home sick from work the other day and I was watching Dr. Oz. The episode was about what he […]

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. https://www.chinonthetank.com//11/dirt-bike-weekend-bald-eagle-state-forest/
