Rain sucked this year. Oh well. Still went to check it out and the turn out was good. Update – umm… assuming this was people leaving ride to skate?
Ever since getting my Z1, I’m pretty obsessed with them. If you didn’t know, the Z1 was basically the hayabusa of the 70’s. Pretty sure it was the fastest bike until the early 80’s. And, it was definitely the preferred pro drag race bike for a long ass time. Apparently, the bike does 140mph in […]
Back in February, at the bottom of a glass of whiskey, we concocted a scheme of the greatest caliber. Take the camping trips and adding entertainment — And I’m not talking about Duncannon strip clubs. I’m talking bands, dj parties, prize giveaways and the whole thing sponsored by Pabst (get excited Adam, it’s all the PBR […]
A crew of us headed out of Philly for a weekend of motorcycle freebirdin.
FUCK YESSS! Philly is finally starting to warm up and the forecast for this Thursday is looking pretty good. It’s about time to get the rides going again. We’ll be doing the classic ‘Fairmount Loop’ to kick it off this year. This is the ride that we started it all with 4 years ago. See […]
Get your jalopy running … This is a rough list of the chin-tank stuff we’re planning this year: End of April New Hope PA camping trip, then go to the norton show the next morning May Lemon Hill BBQ in Fairmount park June Harrisburg PA camping trip July Babe on the back beach ride – […]
Johnny lives just outside Philly and is a AMA Pro flat track racer. He hit us up and said he just signed on to race for Triumph this year and sent us this video of him test riding his new setup… this shit is serious. Here’s another one of him and other riders.
2021 update – click here. Below is deprecated info… Read about rebuild Part 3 Read about rebuild Part 2 Read about rebuild Part 1 Well… the 450 is finished and it runs. Video at bottom. I’ve riden it about 10 miles so far. Haven’t gone over 5K rpm yet, but it feels super responsive and […]
This is a nice little Infographic a guy named Sav sent to me. 1950 is clearly the coolest look.
Come out and see some friends at the Standard Tap this Tuesday and get your own Riff Raff pin.
2021 update – click here. Below is deprecated info… Read about rebuild Part 2 Read about rebuild Part 1 Hey guys. Here’s an update on my cb475 supersport build. The engine is basically finished. All that’s left is to put on my high polished engine covers and I’m putting in a new clutch. I installed […]
Hey guys, I’ve been busy and cold, how about you? I’ve got a new bike in the garage that I (unfortunately) have to let go. It’s really sweet and I hate that I have to get rid of it. However, I’d rather see someone I know end up with it rather than some craigslist rando. […]
Stripping an old bike down to its bare bones looks awesome but can often look unfinished unless few simple modifications are done to complete the look. Of these, fabricating a rear loop is the easiest way to clean up the rear of the bike. It also stiffens it and gives some more options for mounting […]
2021 update – click here. Below is deprecated info… Read about rebuild Part 1 Ok… So, I had a couple different machine shops do a couple different things for me. First machine shop: Mar Automotive 4345 Orchard Street, Philadelphia, PA 19124 (215) 288-7320 They’ve done cylinder head stuff for me in the past: – they […]
I’m actually going to have a full-on 3-angle valve job done on this head next week. More on 3-angle valve jobs later… Regardless, I wanted to show the basics of lapping valves. Figured it’d be good to show a general overview. I made a quick video. I’m sick today… Hear me sniffling? This ring below […]
While I was out of town over the holidays visiting family, I took some time to head over to Newburgh NY and check out the relatively new Motorcylepedia museum that opened up there. I gotta admit, this place is kind of amazing. There is currently a Vintage Japanese bike exhibit that should be up through […]
2021 update – click here. Below is deprecated info… It looks like I’m not putting a 450 head on the 500t cylinders. Everything on the 500t is in way better condition so I’m going with it. Here is the 450 with the 500t engine in it. So long semi-stock bike… See ya soon when you’re […]
I stopped by Kevin Ludwigs garage for a little holiday cider.
Jay Leno garage is decent. The first time I watched this video, it was really easy for me to say “Ah, that’s lame. Fuck that”. But after watching it a second time, I think I like their idea. And I think I actually like the way the bike looks. I wouldn’t get one, but I […]

Sergio Layos has been one of my favorite riders for a long time. In fact, I still ride his signature Pantera frame that I mainly got because it’s his frame. It’s awesome to see this guy is still riding better than every with fast lines and the cleanest brakeless/pegless style. Watch this video even if […]
