Eating breakfast this morning in Marysville Ohio. We plan to make it into Pittsburgh today. Cycles are still running great. Avoided a tornado in Kansas because of a awesome couple that took us in and fed us. He used to race an H2 back in the day. Also raced BSA dirt trackers. Huge thanks to […]
I was proudly representing Chin-on-the-Tank at The ACE Cafe this past weekend during the 17th Annual ACE Reunion.
We just did a long ass ride, up and down, all through the Rockies. The turns are insane. Now we’re drinking some cold local beers and eating lunch. Psyched. fyi – our cycles are running weird and dirt slow at 6 thousand feet up
– got into Denver last night! – someone Adam works with said we wouldn’t make it – fuck them now – our freedom beards are raging – going for a ride up in the rockies in a bit

Yep. See you all in 2 weeks.
This is Dave kings Shaft driven 1978 Yamaha 750 triple XS. In between moving from Philly to the Lehigh Valley to be closer to his beloved trails, it took Dave about a year to get the bike to where it is now. It was pretty stock when he first bought it. On a side note […]
Ricky’s CB350 Four is looking hot with new clip-ons and lowered gauges. He is still fine tuning the carbs to adjust for the pod filters. We’ll have a run down of what he did to it once it’s dialed in. T-shirt preview that Devyn has been working on…
Ricky and I set out hungover from Friday’s bike show (see above) to traverse the back roads of Central Pennsylvania. On the backs of ’72 Honda Fours, we hightailed away from Philly using the highways, eventually steering into the hills outside of Reading. With little traffic in front of us we opened up the throttles, […]
Below is the info you need to get pod filters dialed in on your 79-82 cb650. 79-80 (mechanical piston slide carbs) 120 main jet (stock is 92) *** try a 115-117 if you’re at high elevation 42 slow jet (stock is 35) *** try a 40 if you’re at high elevation. Drill out the 35 […]
Wanted a good, fun little camping trip this weekend, and Max came through with some renegade camping spot near High Points PA. Nice, secluded spot about a hr north of the city, complete with some great back roads and swimming hole. Sitting around the campfire. Cruising great roads around New Hope. This is not man-made, […]
…came across this vid on this dude’s site.
The 650 rebuild is finished. It’s running pretty damn good. Going easy on it for the first few hundred miles. Here’s what I did in the last step: – Re-did my wiring, I cut out about half my wires. Props to Adam! – Installed oil cooler – Spot-painted frame – Re-mounted gauges lower and tighter […]
Myself, Adam, and Max took a trip up to Jim Thorpe this week to see Old Crow Medicine Show play at Penn’s Peak. They played a great show and we got to the chance to do some off- the- beaten path camping on some PA State Game Lands. Max lead us on some crazy good […]
I’m adding a vintage Lockhart oil cooler to my 79 cb650 for several different reasons. Read the below article. It def outlines a couple of my reasons. Side note: To make the oil cooler set-up work on most old 70’s 4cyl hondas, you need a special adapter plate which sits between the engine and the […]
Cleaned everything as best I could, then I took the head and cylinder jugs to Mar automotive in the near northeast. They cleaned and checked everything, installed my new valve seals, cleaned up the combustion chamber, intake and exhaust ports. They also said I had 1 leaky valve, so they fixed that too. Turned out […]
I’m rebuilding my 79 cb650 engine. The engine leaked a shit ton of oil from the rubber o-rings around the head gasket. (Common 4cyl problem on old Hondas.) My engine fins have always been completely covered with caked on oil, grease and dirt. If you didn’t already know, the engine fins are what cool your […]

I love the old performance modification articles. This guy Don Vesco looks like the man and apparently knows his shit when it comes to modifying 2-stroke bikes. If anyone reading this has any old enduro/dirt bike magazines from the 60’s or 70’s they want to sell, i’m interested.
