Reader Submittal. First Ever Yamaha Enduro Fest!

Mark Robers Sends in some pics and video from the California Yamaha Endurofest!  Not THAT is a day very well spent.  Nicely done Gents.

Mark Writes In:
Hi,
I hope you are doing well, just wanted to pass some information. We just had the first Yamaha Enduro Fest offroad ride in Gorman California.
There were many early Yamahas there. I am attaching a few links to pictures and videos that we took while there. Feel free to use anything you like.
We are hoping to have a second event in the Eastern US in March or April of 2011.
Regards
Mark

Reader Ride. Another excellent Triumph Scrambler.

The pictures are a little on the small side but it’s too nice not to post. I’m guessing from the message that came with the pictures that the bike is Italian. 🙂

desert dall’ italia, Saluti Carlo, complimenti per il blog

More workshops that don’t suck…

Willy Gonnason Sends in this very well stocked garage (even if it was only temporary). He writes in:

I love your site! It’s the first one on my daily morning reading list!


Unfortunately I don’t have the finances to maintain a decent garage –
it’s always been way too small and underpopulated…


However, it doesn’t look totally barren all the time. Here’s a couple
of pics with a few bikes (some are friend’s bikes) before one of the AMA
races back in 2005. This was the last AMA race held at Pikes Peak
Raceway before it was closed down, although we didn’t know it at the
time.


There’s Suzuki, Ducati, Yamaha and Honda represented here, and a couple
of classics to boot…


Regards,


Willy G.

Reader Ride. Probably THE Nicest Custom GS1000S On The Planet.

Shannon Hayes Writes in.


Here are some pics of my GS1000S project bike, The guys at Yoshimura put it on there web site under fan photos, so I was thinking you guys might like to see it? I put it together from a 1979 GS1000 and lots of bits from my friends atSteel’s Cycle Salvage, the forks, swingarm, wheels, and brakes came from a GSF1200, and oil cooler, levers, and foot pegs from a GSX-R 750. The motorand amazing carb conversion was done buy Eddie at Sisneros Speed Works, the carbs are from a late model FZ1 and the motor has a Wiseco big bore kit. The paint and body work was done by DJ at Str8 Customs. I did the extensive fabrication work myself, but with out my friends It would not have been possible. I hope you guys enjoy the pics and story. 

That’s just… damm.. I’m just speechless.  Thanks VERY much for the pics including yesterdays CB750 Cafe and tomorrow’s X-Strom
