bit of peninsula scoot today with some mates. Was early start to avoid the hordes but jeepers they get up early these days. Im blessed with nice winding country roads at my doortstep.

Here’s my 2002 KLR250. I have taught several people how to ride with this bike. My son has done 3000 miles on it riding the Colorado BDR up to Wyoming and back twice. Runs clean and starts easy even at 13K feet in the San Juans.

Here’s a project bike that’s coming along. It’s a 1972 CB500/4. Complete disassembly and put back with new seals, bearings, etc. Custom fork springs and Hagon shocks. Dechromed with lots of powder coating. Way too much to list. This has been a long term project. The Color and stripes are correct for a 72 CT90. The bags are period correct Shoeis. 4 into 1 exhaust. I’m looking forward to getting it buttoned up.

Here’s my 86 Honda Elite 150. This was the best build I could make out of two of these. It came out great and runs like a Swiss watch. I’ve ridden it up to 10,678 ft. at Sandia Crest not far from my house. It pulled nicely even on the steep sections near the top. I love CV carbs.
I’m hoping to take a trip on it one day. Maybe the western part of Route 66.

This is my 1985 XR350R. I have owned this bike for almost thirty years. It was considered old when I bought it in 93 or 94. It runs great and surprises the KTM riders on tight singletrack or in the desert. I put the Baja Designs kit on it about 20 years ago for my trips to the passes in the San Juans. I’ll never sell it. It’s still a viable bike and much more comfortable than newer bikes. It’s also a fairly rare Honda that was only offered one year in the US.
Kinda crappy pics but it’s all I could find. Parked at the coffee shop and getting some attention in my shop.

Here’s a 1994 DR350SE. It was built using a 99 DR350SE as a parts donor.
It’s a nice midsize dualsport and a lot more civilized on pavement than my 85 XR350R. It’s a comfortable way to get to the trails when I don’t want to trailer my dirt bikes. My son is gonna ride it on our ADV ride in August. Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.

 

[Goofaroo]

Here’s my 1978 BMW R100S. A full tear down and rebuild. The Silver Smoke paint scheme is actually correct for a R90S but I liked it better than the factory burgandy color. I can’t go anywhere on this without being questioned about it.

 

[Goofaroo]

1987 KDX200. Another complete tear down and rebuild and no slouch in the woods. A very comfortable way to make the younger guys on their fancy new bikes push past their limits and have some awkward moments. lol
Totally stock except for the shock valving and the headlight bucket from my XR350R. Rides like a new one.

 

[Goofaroo]

Might as well show my 1992 KDX200 E model next. I was going for an ISDE theme. Adam Quarles from Acerbis USA helped me locate some of the vintage Acerbis plastics and the Elba headlight I needed to complete the look. I used a sheet of polyethylene to create the handguards. I made them from my memory of the ones that Scott Summers used on his XR600 in the GNCC.
Another killer trail bike and enough on top to make good time in open sections. Pretty much stock other than the pipe and minor suspension mods. Very forgiving even when I do something stupid.

 

[Goofaroo]

That’ll do for now. Time to grab a beer and burn a little homegrown. lol

I used to have a 1980 KDX 400. It would smoke my brothers Maico's (400 and a 450) in a drag race.

I remember drooling on the 400 back in the day but it was unobtainable.
With its wide ratio tranny it would definitely have the legs to outrun the Maico.

Here’s my 1984 Honda Aero 125. It’s also a bike that was only available 1 year in the US. Oddly it is also the largest two stroke scooter Honda ever produced. It had been sitting for years until I picked it up and got it back on the road again.
The rare accessory basket was in poor shape so I straightened it and powdercoated it satin black.

I have some Harley riding friends that aren’t confident enough in their manhood to ride it. I’m sure they are envious as hell when I make a beer run and come back with a 12 pack in the basket, a 30 pack on the floorboard, and another 12 pack in the top case.
If you ask me there’s not enough motorcycles with baskets. lol

I don’t normally pay much attention to where I park but when I’m on this baby I like to find enough room to fit it into a row of Harleys.

My wife won a Pennzoil gas powered go-kart in a drawing at a store. It was a nice kart with a full fibre-glas body.

Anyways, rather than even start it up, we decided to sell it instead. It didn't sell, but we did trade it for a used Yamaha 125cc three-wheeler.

After having it for a while, I saw a CL ad for the 1980 KDX 400 listed by a guy in Phoenix. I called and asked him if he might be interested in a trade? I told him what I had and he said he would.

I made the run to Phoenix, rode the KDX up and down the street and we made the swap.

I had that KDX for quite some time and was very pleased with it's performance and durability.

That's a nice looking scooter. Looks manly enough to me. I'd ride it!
