/
/
comments
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. He talks about the nostalgia he felt when he…

Hooniverse Asks: What mass-produced car would you never modify?
/
/
comments
The desire to tinker, tweak, farkle, and swap has been baked into the Hooniverse culture from the very beginning. Whether to increase performance, make repairs and maintenance more economical, or just be weird, we love modifying our vehicles. Until we don’t. I’m just like the rest of you. Nearly every car, bike, and truck makes…

Hooniverse Asks: Which current production car/truck is most closely analogous to the Soyuz spacecraft?
/
/
comments
It would have to be something totally reliable, durable, hella safe, in production for a very long time with incremental improvements over time, and have a very utilitarian flavor of bad-ass-ity to it. My initial thought was the original Land Rover, but it’s been out of production for a long time, and the Soyuz is…

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…

comments
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…

Two Wheel Tuesday: False Neutral Podcast #88 with special guest Rick Radcliffe
/
/
comments
This month we’re joined by Rick Radcliffe, a name well known to Hooniverse regulars. Rick shares his story, which has a uniquely Southern California ambience (spoilers: it involves a Ducati 916 and lane-splitting). We go on to discuss a wide range of bikes, from dream sport bikes to comfortable, practical commuters. Along the way we…

Last Call: Caged Spitfire is your $800 dream project

comments
This may just be a shell, but the price is right and there is still good meat on the carcass of this old Triumph Spitfire GT6 roadracer. It come with a cage, and the faint aroma of past road course successes. You just need to provide…the rest of the car. Currently for sale in Polo,…
