250,000 hits! A Quarter of the way to a MILLION!


Some time today we had our 250,000’th hit.  I’m baffled beyond words that my little hobby has taken off like this. I sure hope you’re enjoying reading it as much as I enjoy posting.

Thanks to each and every one of you for stopping by! In a very real sense this is your board too since so many of my posts are now coming from the readers. Please keep em coming!

Another Excellent Virago Cafe Racer.


An earlier post of another Virago Cafe Racer is either the first or second most viewed post I have on the site according to the statistics so I figured that folks might enjoy this one as well.

Reader Ride. Very Nice DT175 Restoration.


 Mike Stratton Sends in this beauty of a restoration. I especially appreciate the “before and after” style of the pics. Very nice resto. When I was a younger (and lighter) lad I seriously lusted after one of these.

Hey I stumbled across your site and really liked it! Thanks for your work on it! Here is my 1978 DT175E That I restored. Hopefully you will like it enough to put the pics on your site! (Bragging rights for me to my friends!) Anyway Thanks again.

My pleasure Mike. Brag away!

Reader Ride.


Jon sends in his former Triton.

He writes:


Built this a few years back – now sold and the new owner put it back to a ‘standard’ Triton, you know, Gold Star pipes and plain old 2 seater with a hump and he scrapped the fairing – oh well…


Cheers

I’d have to see it now but it seems to me that this would be hard to improve on. If you know the new owner ask him to send in a current picture just for fun. Cheers!

Just returned from the 11’th annual Deals Gap 2-Stroke rally!


I just got in and I’m exhausted from a fantastic week of 2-stroking in the Carolina / Tennessee mountains around Deals Gap. Outstanding week of riding and fun. More to follow. Please stay tuned!
