Here is the story on this bike: I’m 62
years old. I retired from my job a few
years ago. I thought that I might try a
little post-vintage racing. My wife and
I recently went to a race and, while we were watching, we saw a +70 rider take
a dirt nap in the first turn. My wife
turned to me and said, “See that! You
always used to land on your head when you crashed. I think you’ve had enough concussions from
the last time you tried motorcycle racing.” To which I replied, “What’s your
name, again?” (True story) So, here is my would-be post-vintage racer for
sale. It is a 1979 YZ 250. I have owned this bike for a number of years,
and only ridden up and down my driveway a couple of times (Making the video
made three times.). I put a new piston
and ring in it when I got it, and replaced a lot of parts. It has been sitting in my garage since
then. Here is a partial list of the new
parts: New Fork Seals, New Fork Wipers, New Front Tire, New Front
Fender, New Pro Taper
Handlebars, New Front Brake
Cable, New Throttle
Cable, New Clutch
Cable, New Front Brake
Lever, New Clutch
Lever, New Grips, New Piston and
Rings (less than an hour on the new top end), New Front Number
Plate, New Side Panels, New Rear Fender, New Rear Tire, New Air Filter, New Wide
Footpegs. The
frame and cases were painted with automotive urethane based paint (it won’t
peel off when gas is spilled on it).
Hubs were painted with black enamel.
The bike also has an after-market pipe, and a period correct DG
silencer. The wheels are in good condition as is the suspension. The graphic on the tank is probably as old as
the bike and has more wear and ripples than are evident in the photos.
The bike is fast (too fast for me), and ready to race. (To see the bike running, check out the
Youtube video: https://youtu.be/VIS0qvww_iw Video was taken the day
before I listed the bike.)

Snow riding and my new LC
Mon, 21 Jan 2013I reckon the only thing to do when the snow comes is to get on a bike and my weapon of choice is usually a Yamaha TTR 125. I’ve had TTRs in the garage now for around eight years after Raceways Yamaha in Fleetwood put some on offer for just £900 and apart from a few broken spokes and worn out gearbox sprockets they have been indestructible. One of the two has an electric start and incredibly starts as easily as the day I took delivery.
2014 AMA Supercross – Arlington Results
Tue, 18 Feb 2014James Stewart‘s hot streak continues with his second-consecutive win and fourth AMA Supercross podium in five weeks after an impressive effort at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Fresh off of signing a contract extension with Yoshimura Suzuki, Stewart took control of the Arlington main event on the third lap, passing holeshot-taker Ryan Dungey and running away with the win. With his win last week at San Diego, Stewart becomes the first rider to win back-to-back races this season and establishes himself as a championship contender as we approach the mid-way point of the 2014 season.
The Yamaha FZ-09 Really Can Do It All – Video
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Around here, it’s no secret we’re fans of the Yamaha FZ-09 (MT-09 for those reading this outside the U.S.). It’s a great do-it-all motorcycle, and for $7990 it’s a great value, too. Apparently, Mark Toia is well aware of how useful the FZ-09 can be as well.
