GS800 Wanderlust.

This bike would be wasted on me.  With the "wife and kid" lifestyle that I'm currently in I don't have the ability fully appreciate what it's capable of.  And to be honest it's a bit to "high techy" for my usual tastes.  I like em simple and rugged.  But all that aside,  I still want one!

One More Fantastic GS Wanderlust Shot.

Thanks to EnderTheX over on the ADV Rider Board for these last two GS pics.

Adventure Stunting A GS800 on Video. Complete With Luggage And Highsides!

Not Motorcycle Related... But way cool.

Every once in a while I find something that is only loosely related to motorcycles (or often not at all) and I regret that I have nowhere to comment on it. I tried starting a blog based on that but I've got enough to do with the ones I have so it went stale.

So I've decided that I'm going to create a new category called "Not Motorcycle Related, But Way Cool" for that occasional item that is too cool to pass up. I promise I won't wear it out and abuse the privilege by posting an endless stream of crap. My first example is something that "might" actually relate to smaller cc bikes. The Bamboo Framed Motorcycle. Now I'm no tree hugger (see my 2-stroke page) but I would love to have one of these. I could imagine a small moped would be very possible along these lines.   Here's a link to a company that builds them: http://www.calfeedesign.com/bamboo.htm

Paul Hutchins Writes in:

Swerved into your site and thought you might post my Big Wheel photos.

I have a almost pathological interest in the 500 Yam and recently sold most of my examples of this great cult classic. My street ride was this SR custom, White Bros. 540cc motor, high lift cam, 38mm carb, with Omar's bodywork. I also restored this 1976 XT, the first ever model in the States, it was mint original and brought a similar price from a collector in Sydney, Australia. The TT is a dirtracker that was once on the street, it is now an ice racer in Michigan.


Thanks, Paul Hutchins
