How to start a big-bore two-stroke
May 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Two-Stroke, Vintage, Workbench
This video was put together by some AZ vintage riders — Bill Ramsey of The Motorcycle Accessory Shop made the video, based on a technique he learned from Mark Smith. I struggle to start my old big-bore CZs, and have repeatedly ripped the buckles off my cool vintage Hi-Point MX boots. Not cool. Maybe this [...]

May 30th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Racing, Two-Stroke

Custom two-stroke crotch rocket by Roland Sands
December 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Two-Stroke
Check out this cool custom by Roland Sands Design. Sure looks like a two-stroke motocrosser with road race trimmings, to me. I can’t read the stamp on the ignition cover, but judging by the length it could be Kawasaki. I know RSD is prototyping a new 450 SuperSingle for a WERA spec class that is [...]

I’m happy to see [...]
