Honda CR description

(re-listing after prior buyer didn't pay) This bike has engine# CR250ME-1000971 and frame #CR250M100 965. These numbers jive with all the Elsinore ID info I can find online. I purchased this bike via Bill of Sale at the Barber Vintage Bike Festival in 2013 --I bought the bike from Bob Church of Springfield, Missouri -- Bob owns a vintage motorcycle business and is very active with the CR250. Buyer gets Bill of Sale from me (not titled). Bob restored the bike during 2012 & 2013 and I have receipts from much of what he did. Since I have owned the bike (2013 onward) I have only put about 15 hours on it --not raced, just trail riding. Here's a list of what Bob did to the bike in 2012 & 2013 as part of his restoration (less than 50 hours ago), new piston, rings and connecting rod bearing, new Bridgestone tires (still have many nibs), clutch cable, case gaskets, points & condensor, professional paint, chain & sprocket, seat cover, swing arm bushing, handlebars, Circle F exhaust pipe, aftermarket Protec chain tensioner. Total cost of foregoing work was $2,100+ and I have receipts for the engine work and ignition work. I added new Progressive Suspension shocks and springs (cost $200) and have only ridden bike once since they were installed - made a world of difference in the ride. (Original shocks are not included, but are offered for sale in a separate Ebay auction, if you are interested.) I installed new clutch discs, and replaced both the intake rubber boot (Honda NOS) and the manifold rubber boot (new repro). I added new air filter element, new carb float and installed new front fork springs and rebuilt the kick start pawl, and installed new case fasteners. New Honda NOS exh springs. New repro kill switch. The bike runs like a scared ape, however it runs a little rich and would benefit from 1 size smaller jet. Transmission shifts flawlessly with no issues. Brakes are strong. I bought it to ride and enjoy so there are a couple of noteworthy scuffs in the otherwise beautiful paint work (see pics) - one on tail of front fender, and one behind seat where I stored a tool bag--both these might compound out with a little work. The gas tank is painted silver (not the original bare finish). The tank has very little scuffs and one or two tiny scratches so small they don't show on pictures. The exh pipe has a dent just behind the hanger (see pic). The front fork seals need replacing as one side of forks leaks a little when riding. The frame is free of any cutting or mods. Please email me any questions you have. Paypal or Cash only sale - no cashier's checks, etc. With advance agreement - I might can hold bike for you for a little while provided it's been fully paid for. Pick up only - no shipping. $500 is due within 48 hours of auction close. Bike sold as-is, where-is with no warranty express or implied. Thank you.

San Francisco Motor Cops Can Chase You Up Stairs + Video

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Let’s get one thing out of the way: trying to evade the police is dumb. One way or another you’re going to lose. And if you’re thinking of evading a San Francisco motor cop, or a law enforcement officer trained by them, by heading off the beaten path or up a flight of stairs, think again.

How about Edwards at Repsol Honda?

Wed, 13 Jun 2012

Casey Stoner's decision to retire at the end of the season has had a real shake-up for the Repsol Honda line-up along with the discussion, rumour and speculation of who will take his vacated seat for next season. With silly season occurring much earlier following Stoner's announcement at the French GP in May, rumours and speculation have been banded around with three candidates leading the way: Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez. Lorenzo, until he was confirmed to stick with Yamaha for another two seasons, was the most plausible of the trio as both himself and Casey are the top two riders in the world right now, making him the obvious choice after the Australian departs.
