/

comments
Garrett’s RZ350 is sooo close to complete, Eric broke down and pulled the top end from the sad-trombone XS400, and another project that will never be completed has dropped in my lap. After our Workshop Update, we talk about new bikes that are here or coming soon, and then discuss recent competition, both off-road and…

comments
On January 2nd of this year, Jeff asked us all what our project car resolutions were for 2019. I said, “Finish the ’74 Honda CL125S by fall.” I’m happy to report that I did keep that resolution. About a month ago, I finished the bike. As in, for-real finished it. Running, riding, streetable, not-leaking-anything, no-loose-wires…

Making up for our lack of project updates last month, this one’s an almost-all-workshop episode. Garrett has created a very sophisticated airbox mod for the Kenny Roberts RZ using CAD software and his 3D printer. Pete has, at long last, finished his Honda CL125S—aaaaand it’s gone.

Two Wheel Tuesday: False Neutral Podcast #90 – Wild Cards

/
comments
After our usual project bike updates, this month we discuss three listener questions: What’s your “wild card” bikes, which you’d like to own for a short time just to satisfy your curiosity? Can you buy a good beginner bike for $1000, and would a Kawasaki KLR650 be one of them? What should you do with…

This month the crew is all dealing with various pipe-related issues. Garrett had to cut out and replace a frame tube due to a previous welding hack, among lots of other work on his RZ350 project, while Eric and Pete were both busy with other non-motorcycle plumbing issues that couldn’t have been more different. We…

The False Neutral — that’s the Hooniverse Podcast Network’s motorcycle-themed podcast, for those who aren’t regulars here — debuted three years ago today. Eric, Garrett, & I were fortunate that things took off pretty quickly, thanks to the willingness of Jeff to give us a home, and Hooniverse readers to give us a try. Since…
