Reading Woods – Chin on the Tank – Motorcycle stuff in Philadelphia.

Tiny Yamaha’s

admin — Tue, 05 Apr 2016 20:23:05 +0000

This past weekend was another great jalopy shred in the Reading woods. The 30+mph winds made the drive up sketchy in our tiny Toyotas but it was all worth it once we got to the woods. I severely lacked at taking any good photos but sometimes that’s a sign of how fun the trip was because I couldn’t stop laughing or riding my DT long enough to pull out my camera. So, out of 7 trucks, 18 people, and 16 shiddy dirtbikes… these are the few photos (if anyone has any more they want to post please send them to me):

All because of old jalopy dirt bikes. Another great Sunday in PA.

That 1974 Yamaha DT I became one with that machine today. Best day ever dirt riding. And I'm on the market for an old dirt bike if anyone knows of any for sale! Oh and a truck, too. And a garage. Fuuuuuck

I’m gonna get weird and say that myself and everyone else was really sweating Kletus’s Yamaha 80. Maybe it was because of how gnarly he rode it or because I can’t remember seeing one in person before. I tried to do some research on these little Yamaha’s here’s what little info I found:

1973-81 GT1 – GT80H
Front Tire (stock): 2.50 x 15
Rear Tire (stock): 2.75 x 14
Ground Clearance (mm): 7.7 in.
Wheelbase (mm): 41.1 in.
Weight (DRY): 130.0 pounds
Bhp: 4.9
Torque (kgm) @ rpm: 4.5 ft lbs @ 7,200

I’ve been in the market for a tiny bike to teach my nephew to ride on. I’ve been looking for a Z50 Mini Trail but prices for them are insane so definitely keeping my eyes open for finding one of these.

Here’s a bunch of shitty low res internet photos. I’m going to look through my stash of old dirt bike magazines to see what other info I can find. If you know anything more about these please comment.

Chasing rain

6 of us decided to ignore the questionable forecast and go dirt biking in Reading.

Trails were awesome. Rain held out until we were tired of riding so it all worked out. First time back there since last fall. Definitely a little rusty. Everyone went down at least once. Good times.

@chinonthetank getting some berm action. #readingwoods

Dirt bike weekend – May 2015

Trails up in Reading PA are pretty awesome.
No rules, and a river to swim in once you’re tired and dirty.

Some pics from Brian R, vids from Jake, and Instagram random.

Getting cocky on the IT and starting basically on the hill. Fail.

Dirt Bike Weekend

admin — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 01:00:19 +0000

We took to the dirt this weekend, on the banks of the Schuylkill River
in Berks County, to break out the Cast & Salvage 2-strokes.
It was good to see us country kids and the Honda Elsinore
back in their natural environment.
