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 […]

Philly dirt bike weekend

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

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.

Yamaha ct1 clutch springs – Barnett clutch

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 […]

Who knows 2-strokes?

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 […]

1971 Yamaha CT1 – 175

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 […]

Why I started riding bmx

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 […]

Wilderness Collective

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 […]

1975 Yamaha DT175

I recently picked up this DT175. I’ve been looking for an old 2-stroke Yamaha enduro for awhile and found this one for a good deal out in the Poconos. It was a shitty drive out of the city in rush hour traffic but it was well worth it. It’s a bit beat up but everything […]

Played around with some different tire pressures. For my reference, cold: – 30.5 front – 30 rear Third session, lost the rear […]
