Last Call: Street Parked Edition
/
/
comments
In Japan, slammed and stretched scooters have been a legitimate thing for a long time, and they don’t come much lower or longer than this one. It doesn’t seem very practical, but it might get some use, seeing as it was captured parked at the curb. Image: mercenary.ie Last Call indicates the end of the…

Last Call: '80s Italian Style Edition
/
/
comments
The 1984 Fantic Sprinter Multispeed was a fairly ordinary Italian 50cc CVT “no-ped”, but as the Italians managed to do throughout the twentieth century, they managed to come up with a truly striking and unique package, even if the technology under the wrap is all strictly conventional.

Last Call: Hans Shot First Edition
/
/
comments
There are few motorcycle shapes more recognizable than Hans Muth’s remarkable Suzuki Katana bodywork. Beyond the original 1000S of 1982, the same basic shape was applied to a number of different four-cylinder models. The smallest and perhaps most perfect was this JDM GSX250S, beautifully captured in anthracite gray. Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s…

Project Bike SOTU 2018: Bultakenstein
/
/
comments
Bultakenstein will be seven years old next month, and if you’ve been following these SOTU updates, you will not be surprised to learn that it is still nowhere near complete. For the last five months, my build-a-motorcycle-from-random-salvage-parts project (along with its little brother, my ’73 Honda CL125S project) has been crammed into one corner of…

Project Bike SOTU: Honda CL125S
/
/
comments
I got stranded. Less than a week after this Honda CL125S’s SOTU post last year, the bike developed a high-RPM miss on my commute in to work. It was worse when I took the bike to lunch. It wouldn’t start at all after work. I kicked it and bump-started it with hardly a pop. I…

Two Wheel Tuesday: False Neutral Podcast #79 – Not Quite Doing It
/

comments
Garrett didn’t quite go to a track day. Garrett also didn’t quite go on his summer motorcycle trip. Eric didn’t quite get his electronic ignition installed. Pete didn’t quite do Smackdab. We discuss all of these things on this month’s episode, along with our views on Travis Pastrana’s successful recreation of the Caesar’s Palace fountain…

comments
On the June episode, we discuss matters time and money: Garrett finished his modular helmet shopping and ended up getting what he thinks is the best bang for the buck. Eric got another offer to trade his Mustang for a bike plus cash (this time a Harley FXR), but wasn’t close the deal in time.…
