They are pricey, I know a guy that bought a used one, looks new and he got a bargain on it. Thing folds out and makes a big camper, has a King or queen size bed in it. It's a PITA to put up though.

Here is a picture of the dead engine start from my last harescramble race about three years ago!

Seeing that pic reminds me when I used to race h/s and gncc races in the veteran class. I started on a kawasaki kdx200 and moved up to a yamaha yz250.I still trail ride and love my yz250, but I gave up racing because of having a family.

I ran a few h/s races growing up in Ohio, then went away to college in Athens, OH. After graduation, I moved to NC and ran some of the VA series races then hung it up. I had not raced in about 8 years and had not even trail ridden in 2 years due to having kids. Then I got a wild hair in my arse and ran the pictured h/s race. I had muscles sore that I did not even know I had. I did place 4th though, but in all honesty I was pissed off when I came around and they waved the "one more lap" flag. Damn I was ready to stop. I dont like the motocross portion of the races - being 250 pounds and racing a 525cc 4-stroke and jumps dont mix well IMHO. Same damn reason tractor trailers dont jump off loading docks! That is WAY too much bike to throw around in the tight eastern woods races anyway.

been putting a lot of miles on since the horrid winter broke
such as? have some exp w/buell/sportster...
new to me couple wk ago...
Puking oil and flooding out. Been reading on badweatherbikers, probably have to replace the right side crank seal and rebuild the carb. Just need to find the time.....
What year is that Moto Guzzi?
73 850 Eldorado... u have cv carb?
I believe so, it's supposed to be. I haven't taken it off yet. Trailer brakes today, truck brakes and other repairs next week...so hopefully after that I'll start taking it apart and get my shopping list straight.
That bike is very clean for a 73! Has it been restored or original?

650 mi on complete [not 100 pt] resto... workin some bugs out, but been out on it a few times. friend had 05 sportster, we both thought carburation was the prob, after tryin a couple known workin carbs, turned out to be crank sensor, which I thought odd on a carbureted motor. dunno yr of yours...
The crank sensor caused the flooding? The manual does say to never leave the petcock on when not running and I've followed that but it loaded up so bad it about cut off when I rode it around 50 miles. Oil is full of fuel too now. PITA.

Eric Buell made some of the most beautiful bikes in history imo.
What kind of plant is in the background, co-gen or something? Makes for an awesome backdrop on a nice bike.
Here's my ride, '79 Yamaha XS1100
Nice, how many MWe? You work there?

Ticked off about 3200 miles already this year on short Sunday trips on the Harley. Decided to put the Kawasaki on the road now too for something different. New Pirelli's are coming as well as drag handlebars. The mini apes currently on it are silly.
