Yamaha XS description

Up for auction is my beloved XS. I have owned this bike for 18 years and the time has come to part ways. It was built to its current state last fall by me. Taken completely down to the frame, and built correctly, with an aim toward riding it a lot. I currently drive it 40 miles each way to work daily, and it's been trouble free. In 18 years, it's never left me stranded. Heres what was done: Motor taken down and gone over, New rings, timing chain, all new gaskets and seals, new sump filter, new one piece clutch pushrod, new front sprocket. Frame was completely inspected and visible ugly welds were ground and had nice weld passes laid down. Custom rear fender struts support a cut sportster rear fender.Stainless brake line. Custom Chrome master cylinder.  Custom made handlebars. TC Brothers Choppers forward controls and side mount license plate with Model A LED light. Engine painted with ceramic, pipes professionally ceramic coated. Wheels powdercoated and laced with stainless spokes. Runs strong and with shorty pipes, it has quite a bark when you're  ripping down the street. You will get more attention on this bike than you can imagine. Stopping for gas means someone will be checking it out every time. Kickstart only. This bike is just the basics. Raw and simple. Hidden switches for the ignition and lights. The key is used to open the gas tank and lock the forks when parked. Here is a link to the build photos : https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4579078161564.2187842.1430203732&type=1&l=31f4e9282e


It is not perfect. There are some chips in the fork legs paint. The paint is not show quality, but it's very good. There is a small dent in the left side of the tank where my knee hit it when a deer ran head first into my shin and I never had any intention of fixing it. It's small and for me, a good story. The battery is brand new, as is the front tire. The rear tire will last the rest of the season.  The seat is a foam rubber pad on a light steel pan. Any late model sportster seat can be adapted to fit. I have a front fender that is painted to match if you want it.  The bike is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. Deposit of $500 due within 24 hours of end of auction. Don't bid unless you can buy. Ask questions.

Tapout Themed Yamaha R1 Unveiled at UFC 129 Fan Expo

Wed, 04 May 2011

The Ultimate Fighting Championships recently held the largest event in its history in Toronto and the folks at Tapout decided to use the occasion to unveil a 2011 Yamaha R1 project bike. The bike was designed Toronto’s Flat Out Industries. As you may expect, it prominently features Tapout logos all over the bike, including on the wheels, along with a pretty sweet red, black and white color scheme.

John Reynolds: Riding Masterclass

Fri, 17 Dec 2010

When I first started racing about a thousand years ago, my local stomping ground was a place called Three Sisters near Wigan.  It wasn’t glamorous but it was brilliant. An hour from home and with about a million corners crammed into just a km of tarmac. The Three Sisters was a reference to the three coal slag heaps that had once occupied the site before.

No snow here folks!

An erratic work schedule combined with a full season of kids racing means, there aren’t many opportunities during the summer months for the Mackenzie family to grab a holiday. Instead, we tend to save our pennies and head off somewhere sunny for Christmas. I love doing this as it shortens the UK winter but more importantly it means I miss the festive frenzy.  I do like Christmas, but I hate how everyone gets caught up in the retail madness that kicks off just before Halloween, then has everyone stressed (and skint)before Santa has even hitched up his sleigh.
