I do not understand how this idea will change demand.But if I could make a dime on each one of those e mails sent I'd sign up in a flash.I will catch hell for this but...as Americans we pay very little for our petro chemicals.How much of what you pay for a gallon of gas is tax vs. actual cost?It has been National policy for years to keep the flow of crude uninterupted and cheap,they have done a good job of it.For me the real world solution is a smaller pick up,dump the gas guzzling F-250!

Vinnie,that is a nice R-E.Isn't it amazing how much time can be spent gawking at a well done vintage bike?Yet 2 or 3 minutes is all it takes to check out the latest models.

I linked it so not to use your storage or bw,hope I didn't offend.Thought some of the pre 65 guys might like to see some of the Brit bikes.Any one can use any image they like.I will probably delete in a couple of weeks.

Why go through all this grief?Take the bike to a mechanic and with all the money you will save not working on it yourself take your girlfriend to McDonalds

Most looking at this topic probably appreciate antique and vintage motorcycles.This past weekend I went to Las Vegas to the mid America antique motorcycle auction.Quite a few U.K. buyers because of the strength of the Pound.Here is a link to some images taken there.It will take you to a sub dir,just click on the file names to see the pic. http://allen224.com/vegas

Eric,does this mean you will join the Scorpa revolution?It will be interesting to see what a 200cc + modern four stroke will be like.Looking forward to it,hope they stay with a backbone frame.

I am with Alan and Bob on this one.Restricted exhaust flow will cause the conditions you have.Runs ok at low speed but choked down as you increase engine speed.Try the cheap fix first,burn all the spooge/oil out of the pipe.A couple of extended 3/4 + throttle fourth gears runs up a slight grade should get that goo smokin hot!If it helps some then repack the muffler.

Give them all a try if the owners will let you.The one that is most comfortable to you and mechanically sound is the best bet.All the brands are good.Sworn to fun,loyal to none!

I think Jay nailed it.A new bike makes me feel good but but my skills are so poor it doesn't make a difference in my ride.Hard not to be happy with a shiny new bike though!

I may jump when they get that thing + 200cc.Kinda fat for a 125!

I would try the Yamaha page.Can't see how the specs would differ much from the TTR.

Ishy's idea is best,the other stuff is nonsense.Let's hear about the girls!

I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes when I read the post.That is the funniest thing I've seen here.You better get an SWM in the garage quick before the old lady starts keeping tabs on her makeup.

Is this official line from your time as a engineer at Montesa? good shot PA!yer sense of humor isn't lost.still not as good as yer canuck united national trials quip last week.

I once had a Hungarian made motorcycle called a Danuvia.They were imported into the U.S under the name White.Very easy to work on,even easier to find parts for
