There seems to be quite a few xs400 brothers in the Ohio/Indiana area so I thought I'd let you know about a 3 day ride called Run 4 Your Life. It's set up and run by the guys at Bobbertalk.com. They have a lot of guys in the area as well and have an annual ride organized. It usually takes...

so on my way home from work today i was coming up to the switch back and realized i was going to fast. I had to make a decision either try and make the turn and risk sliding out (the road is quite dirty) or continue straight and stop the bike, turn it and get going again. I decided to do the...

Took the day off work yesterday and rode to Daytona for a quick Bike Week visit with my older brother and dad. Perfect day! Sunny and bright, about 74 degrees. Me on my Seca 400, my brother on his GS850 rat bike, and dad on his Low Rider. Dad turns 80 years old in another month. Lots and lots of...

My wife and I hit the IMS here in Chicago. On the red carpet were many, many custom choppers that were part of a vote-based contest. All of them had a 22"-24" front tire with a blacked out engine and custom paint work ... blah blah blah. Down the way I see a crowd. I walk up and find that...

So I was cruising to work the other day and my bike started to cut out (electrical). I got it home and start looking for broke wires or fuses. I found nothing wrong electrical but I noticed I also lost compression. :wtf:

I had a bash for the fourth tonite. Everyone wanted to tool around on my bike. I grabbed the front brake going very slow and the front tire kicked out. I bit it gracefully.Next guy followed suit in the same spot.(we were in the yard). I get on it again and ran first gear hard, went to slow...

I've been to the LICS '11 show today as it is only about 1mile from where I live. It only seemed about half the size as last year, I guess the "credit crunch" as they call it here in the UK is making its mark in the custom bike scene. I was a bit disappointed really as it was mainly Harley's...
