This week we added three more buddies to the COTT Vintage Enduro team. If you don’t have an old enduro you’re missing out. They need a little cleanup but are runners. The red DT actually has a wrangler jean jacket made into a cover with a serious fade. And if you needed any more reason […]
Jermima Mount is pretty much the only spot in all of the Pine Barrens NJ, that actually has mini hills climbs. We went and found it yesterday. It was really fun. People went down. I won’t name names. I did not go down. The pics and videos don’t do it justice. The hills weren’t insane […]
This past weekend we went dirt biking at Lake Atsion, NJ which is in the Pine Barrens. In case you didn’t know, you can legally ride dirt bikes in the pine barrens IF your bike is street legal / registered / insured. If you’re driving a truck, park at the Atsion ranger station. It’s okay […]
This past weekend we went dirt biking in Taskers Gap VA. So much fun. Most fun I’ve had on a motorcycle since the last time we rode dirt bikes in the pine barrens. It’s in George Washington National Forest. Pay $12 and get a 3 day off-road pass to dirt bike / ATV and camp. […]
I came across some random old enduro photos on Flickr. I guess the guys dad used to own a Yamaha dealership somewhere out west? Pretty awesome to see a whole bunch of brand new bikes. I wish I could go back in time and buy a handful of them. Who wants to go rip around […]
Since a lot of friends have been getting 70’s and 80’s Yamaha 2 stroke dirt bikes, and I’ve done this a couple times now on my CT1-175 due to the motor blowing up, I figured I’d do a basic write up on how to change the crank seals. First off… Why do you care and […]
The IT is coming along. Got the Vermont registration so I can actually ride the thing legally now Sorted out all the little missing bolts and retarded shit from the previous owner. Needs a different silencer. Looking for a good, used DG piece. Got it cleaned up. The blue and yellow is pretty wild looking. […]
Another good one popped up on craigslist for $350. Adam and I decided to buy it together. Drove 2.5 hours to the tip-top of hickville NJ. We ended up getting it for a fair price of $300. In case you didn’t know… Yamaha made “MX” versions of the DT. If you walked into a Yamaha […]
Ya know… I’ve always been impulsive with making decisions. Yesterday was one of those days. Someone in middle-north NJ put a Yamaha IT250 on craigslist. Within 2 hours I called him and decided to go check it out. The guy wanted $650. I bought it for $540. No title. Stuff like this goes quick, so […]
Big thanks to Mike and his family for letting us stay on their land. It was such an awesome time. Bummer if you missed it. Highlights include: The dirt bike number shirts made it fun. Neighbor Brian being too worried about getting his dirt bike dirty ha. Ben dressing like robocop ha. Tyler doing awesome […]
Nice weather for some fun enduro trail riding through the kenso woods. So so much damn fun. Little 2 strokes are the best.
I got the top end back from Mar Automotive all nicely cleaned, honed, and painted for $50. I really recommend these guys. They open at 7:30am which makes it easy to drop/pickup parts before heading to work. I found an NOS piston and rings on Ebay for $130 which is expensive but it was the […]
It happened. The philly dirt bike police came back in the kenso woods this past sunday. To make a long story short, they took our bikes, but we got them back the next morning since they’re street legal / registered / insured / we have mc licenses etc… They did it just to fuck with […]
It has almost been a full year since I bought my 1975 DT175b for $500 not running but with a title and I got what I paid for… a shitty, beat enduro and I love it. Here’s the photos from when I first picked it up HERE. It took some work to get it back […]
If you didn’t figure it out already, you probably need to pick up an old enduro. Holy shit they’re fun. As a graphic designer I can’t stop looking at these old ads. They’re so great. I love the ones with the crazy colors. Of course your dad bought a yamaha enduro in the early 70’s. […]
In the really early 70’s… Yamaha had these as their dirt bikes: – AT1 – 125cc – CT1 – 175cc – DT1 – 250cc – RT1 – 360cc All were 69-71 era, piston port motors, before Yamaha really knew what dirt bikes would become. And all were relatively about the same dimensions, just different weight. […]
The kenso trails are basically split up into two sections: – hilly wooded trails area – open sand pit area In the open sand pit area there are some sandy hills to climb and a huge oval track, but the main cool thing is an existing tabletop jump which was a total piece of shit. […]
Our buddy Mike shot some go-pro footage over the weekend. Riding back in the kenso woods is so much damn fun. The vid footage is from saturday, but on sunday adam and I found a homeless persons home. Literally a shit box, and then 30 mins later some sketchy dude was creeping through the brush […]
Looks like winter is slowly coming to an end. Finally got a chance to rip around on dirt bikes both days over the weekend. Saturday – River Road trails Basically it’s an oval track. Tons of fun. Was really good until brian slid out in front of adam, and then adam ran over brian and […]
We went back into the kenzo trails in the snow today. Way more sketchy than I thought. Basically you need studded tires.
